Pupils in British schools are to be taught the history of multiracial Britain. It is reported that the OCR GCSE History syllabus will include a module on immigration.
There has of course been a lot of immigration to the British Isles over the last two millennia. The Romans came, built their temples and sewers, and then returned to sunny Italy. Various Germanic people – Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and maybe some Franks – came, and colonised almost the whole of England. Their language survives, with some modification, as the English we speak today. Then the Scandinavians came. They raped and pillaged and introduced the word law to the English language. They were followed by their cousins the Normans, who formed a ruling elite, but failed miserably in their attempt to get us all speaking French.
Over the following centuries, Britain sometimes attracted refugees, notably the Huguenots (French protestants) who came here around three hundred years ago and established colonies in such places as Canterbury and London. For many years they maintained an independent identity, for example having their own churches, but over time they blended into the landscape.
Something almost all of these people have in common is that they were white. Non-white people do have a history in this country, but it is easily exaggerated. Apparently the OCR examiners believe that there may have been as many as fifteen thousand black people living in London in the year 1750.
Really? How many black people are depicted in the paintings of Hogarth? I can think of one (the little boy in the fourth painting in the Marriage A La Mode series). Are there any black characters in the novels of Jane Austen?
I will accept the word of academic Miranda Kaufmann that there were more than three hundred Africans living in the British isles between the years 1500 and 1640 (http://www.mirandakaufmann.com/blog/elizabeth-i-and-the-blackamoors-the-deportation-that-never-was). There would doubtless have been more Africans in Britain in the eighteenth century because of slavery, and we know the names of several freed slaves, such as Jonathan Strong, James Somersett, and Olaudah Equiano. Nevertheless there is no reason to think that there were many non-whites living in Britain prior to the arrival of the MV Empire Windrush in 1948. Fewer than five hundred black people came to England on that ship. If it were still in existence, then there would be a case to be made for renaming it the MV Thin End of the Wedge.
In short, while it is not wrong in principle to teach school pupils about the history of multi-racial Britain, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that it will amount to making a proverbial mountain out of a molehill. I also wonder whether or not the OCR wants pupils to be taught about the negative impact of immigration. I will leave you with a quote from the Magna Carta (from the year 1215):
We will dismiss out of our kingdom all foreign soldiers, bowmen, serving men, and mercenaries, who come with horses and arms to the nuisance thereof.

If I had my way, I’d tell the children the truth: the Germanic tribes (your people) came in through warfare, but the non-Whites (them people) came in with a begging bowl expecting us to feel sorry for them.

How true Shaun.

I’ve started to become very proud of the stuff that our people are demonized for. You know, the conquests, the piracy, the colonization and so on…. That’s our people at their best. It’s time we stop hiding from it.

As the author points out, there is no actual proof that as many as 15,000 Africans were resident in London in the year,1750.
The truth is, there is no proof at all as to the TRUE number of Africans brought over by White merchants, residing temporarily or otherwise anywhere in England and the Marxist Left will go out of their way to exaggerate the figure dramatically upwards simply to justify their agenda of mass Third World invasion and territorial theft of White homelands in Britain and everywhere else.
Let’s face it, White people have been present in the British Isles for 12,000 years not merely the past 2,000. Either way, being as Whites have been in occupation of the British Isles since the end of the last Ice Age that makes OUR peoples the indigenous. race not Africans.
Egypt, Libya and North America, for example, were once invaded/explored, settled and even ruled by Europeans so according to such Marxist pronouncements with regards to alleged figures of 15,000 or more Africans in London during 1750, Whites would also be perfectly entitled to lay racial claim to the aforementioned countries as well. However, the question is, would the present array of non-White Egyptians and Libyans along with the self-loathing and traitorous White Marxian Liberals of the West, agree?
No, of course not.
Likewise, neither do indigenous White Britons have to agree with spurious Marxist revisionism either.

If there had ever been any significant non-white presence in Britain before the present it would show up in our DNA – and it doesn’t. There are a very few stray and random traces but all that they demonstrate is just how small the presence must have been, either that or the non-whites died or left the country without breeding with whites.

This is purely genocide, that is the long and short of it. Propagandising the death of a race.
We can trace our ancestry to various tribes that have seen this all before, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Scythians etc. All once dwelt in lands now in the hands of mongrel races, many bearing the blood of those former races.
Those that inflict this upon us are intent on destroying that which they cannot have, racial purity. As the last bastion of the Aryan blood and the remnants of the Aryan traditions, the people of Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and the former white colonies are under the strongest attack.
Our border forces undermined, our laws designed to favour non-white immigration and our institutions filed by an enemy tribe and the easily controlled of ours.
The campaign against “modern” slavery is a good example, the adverts show white slavers and the new legislation to “combat” it seems to merely ensure that these foreign slaves have the legal right to take jobs here!
Luckily our people are becoming less shy about expressing their anger, one can only hope that this is not 1979 all over again.

It’s been obvious for a long time that ‘they’ plan to rewrite Europe’s history, particularly where the rightful ownership and values of this continent is concerned. We must call for our people to homeschool their children – something which is thankfully still legal in Britain (for now).

Homeschooling works, to a degree. My passed away wife, from Horsham Sussex ( maiden name Willsteed ) and I did so, for five full years. Mostly me, as she busy as a Registered Nurse. Happiest family memories of entire life. So far, none of the five offspring, nor their offspring, are race-mixing. Unfortunately they all terrified of my public stand for White survival (due to press smears of course). However, half a loaf…….
Max Musson

It sounds as though you’ve got rather more than half the loaf John, and you can be proud of what you have achieved. The fear of what our loved ones imagine may happen when we make a stand is invariably far worse than what actually does happen. Our enemies rely upon our people being paralysed by fear, but they are not quite as powerful as they would have us believe. Nowhere near in fact!

Reference to “constant shifts in the British population” is ominous because as those of us with any knowledge or experience of Britain before the immediate present know that our country’s population has been remarkably stable and homogenous for centuries. Mind you, such propaganda is nothing new; in his book “Of British Blood and British Earth” by J.R.Bell the author refers to a history text book published in 1982 which tells our children that Britain “is a multi-cultural country. This has always been true”. Another history text book referred to by Mr. Bell tells pupils that there were black people in England before the English!
Such lies may be obvious enough to those of us who have some knowledge of the true nature of our country, but children will soak them up. Perhaps the new syllabus, if it goes ahead, will present a more balanced picture but I won’t hold my breath.
