History fact and fiction

To every producer of TV or film, nationally and internationally.
Rewriting history to present the past in any country, and especially Britain or the US as being inclusive, not only strips the recognition and respect we should have and hold for all those who came before us, who fought, bled, were starved, raped, abused, were enslaved, were made to live in servitude, survive in workhouses, exist in the hellish holds of ships, be made to be “civilised” at the cost of culture, heritage, history, land, homes, families, dignity, liberty, resources and lives, but it also makes to seek light of the struggles endured to reach where we were.
This has had the horrific effect of minimising what was reality, giving opportunity for consecutive right wing governments throughout the world to strip away the human rights won in rivers of blood, to ensure our and the generations after us had better inclusive lives.
What people are not realising right now is that making a new fake history will only truly give power to those who will turn the world around until the people they see as different, weak, vulnerable or even just an obstacle, again become accepted targets, not just of ire, discrimination but of fear, subjugation, slavery, and again death.
Look at how the disabled have to be visibly restricted for members of the public to accept they are ill, how they are subjected to cruelty and yes terror through the DWP and their vile profiteering minions such as Atos, and all the others involved.
Look at how families drowning in the freezing seas are seen as a threat, their suffering acceptable and their lives expendable, despite it often being our politicians and companies run by their family and friend networks that made many of these people homeless and stateless.
Those before us, those who had little understanding of issues beyond their next meal, a local wedding, the village boundary or how to stay out of the workhouse, but that we claim did nothing but accepted discrimination, subjugation, slavery, we look to ridicule, judge and condemn, but worse than that, we now write those atrocities out of history, in order for the past to fit in with the new current narrative.
This is beyond dangerous, and in my humble opinion actually marks an end to acceptance, an end to libertarian values, and ultimately heralds a path to new extreme levels of violence, new hardships, new trenches filled with the blood of all but the powered.
If there ever is a time where the four horsemen are destined to appear, it will be following upon the burning of our past, whether it be igniting the libraries or marking all historical fact as a fantasy fiction.
So please no more of depictions of a faux inclusive acceptable past, no more making history’s true villains, the Royals, the aristocracy, the barons, the business “men”, the mill owners, the trading companies, look anything other than the cruel, murderous, predatory, misogynistic, racist, corrupt, slave owning, oppressive creatures they truly were.
Yes we want the truth, and yes no matter how vile our history actually was, we can handle the truth, for by doing so it protects our future.

Jonesy, just a human.

It's 5yrs since I started this blog. now in 2023 I am 56, and already medically retired due to chronic ill health. This site airs my frustrations of how I see our country and world, and how I truly believe it needs to change.
