Row Over 'Misrepresentation' Of Slavery In UK Citizenship Test
I defer to Pat Dollard's wise insights on GAB:

Nearly 200 historians on Wednesday denounced what they said was the "misrepresentation of slavery and empire" in the history section of Britain's citizenship test, calling for it to be corrected.
Parts of the official handbook for prospective British citizens and residents to prepare for the "Life in the UK" exam were "fundamentally misleading and in places demonstrably false", they argued.
"The aim of the official handbook is to promote tolerance and fairness and facilitate integration," they wrote.
"In its current version, the historical pages do the opposite."
These scum they are importing are NOT going to integrate. And they know this, that's why they are importing them. To cause problems. Which is exactly what they are doing.
The open letter's signatories argued the handbook painted a questionable picture of historical slavery in Britain, for example by suggesting it had ended in the 18th century.
The guidance also downplayed the country's role in the international trade in people, failing to note the vast numbers of British ships used to transport slaves and that huge numbers who died, they alleged.
The letter objected to impression left that the end of the colonialism in the middle of the last century was an "orderly transition from empire to commonwealth".
"People in the colonies and people of colour in the UK are nowhere actors in this official history," said the letter.
"...nowhere actors.." LOL
Sounds about right, as they had nothing to do with anything meaningful. Seriously, Britain, get it together.
