Land Of BBC Inglorious Stupidity

Slavery has been around for at least three millenniums. The Roman Empire, Egypt in the time of the Pharaoh's, Africa since the 1700's and just as importantly TODAY, right now, in the UK, Europe and across all (YES ALL) Continents.

Britain has it's share to blame when African slavery erupted after the discovery of the America's and the subsequent development of new territories. British Merchant Vessels transported tens of thousands of slaves across the Atlantic for decade after decade. At that time Britain was also at war with France and Spain, who sought to invade take over and control Britain.

Not much is said about the British Government's attempt to stop the merchant ships taking African slaves who were captured by other African nations or natives and sold on to these merchants. The fledgling Royal Navy had morphed into a powerful fleet, able to strike at the heart of the Spanish, French and Merchant slave trading ships, and they did so with all three.

Land of Hope and Glory was written against that background. Knowing your history is critical today, especially when modern Marxist groups (B.L.M, Antifa etc) seek to re-write the past, or describe old cultural history and events out of context. Land of Hope and Glory is more about universal freedom than myopic one nation pride.  

BBC News (sic) can no longer report real news. It can no longer be impartial. It is a slave to revolting (again sic) individuals who happily treat you, me, anybody as cattle or sheep. I don't personally want them to be de-funded. I want the commercial elements sold off to compete with their peers. The rest can cease to be. Maybe a stripped down public service broadcaster has a place, however BBC as a bloated corporation has made that thought difficult to argue for.
