It is a good idea to KNOW your history

Ten years later, when they fewer people who could argue against the lies, and help fill gaps in the labour market (which wasn't true at the time, as they came uninvited - just purchased tickets on a ship sailing to the UK), and now they came to rebuild the UK after the war years. Suddenly, (for the same reason- too few people alive to dispute the lie), the unskilled labourers become engineers etc.

They are a blessed generation. Most of them knew full employment. Most, as the man said brought property that in today's money was worth next to nothing and have seen these properties grow into fortunes. Most had a stable family. This 'Baby Mada' stuff never really existed back then. Most of all, there was a community spirit among them that I do not think we, their children have. Growing up listening to them talking about 'Back Home' was so nice and certainly in the case of Birmingham I went to school with the kids of people my parents went to school with back in Jamaica. I've have kept my inherited Jamaican culture - Jamaican patois is literally my mother tongue and I'll never lose that, but I've noticed that few of the generation below me actually speak it and when they do, it sounds like a rough version of Brummie or a London / Manchester etc accent. I think at this point in time people of my age still refer to ourselves as Jamaicans, though British born and raised, but our kids definitely refer to themselves as British or as in the case of my kids, Dutch since they were born and are growing up here in Holland.

Hello :)

This is the modern day narrative that we are all supposed to buy into; that Britain needed help, and the Windrush brought all these people who wanted to help Britain rebuild itself after the war. Theres not an ounce of truth in it. The truth is that the situation in the Caribbean was rather dire in terms of mass unemployment and a rapidly rising birth rate, and the authorities there were worried about civil unrest. They approached Britain, and Britain felt an obligation to help. One piece of seldom heard truth can be found in this clip however. One of the men being interviewed says there were hardly any black people in Britain when he arrived. This truth is seldom heard because it goes against another pushed narrative that Britain has always been diverse and that there have been black people in this country since the Roman times. Another load of rubbish!

@J A Correction some some were sold by other Africans ...and others were stolen from Africa...not everyone is a super hero ...some sold there own in exchange for goods, some sold their own hoping that they would not be sold them selves, and some sold their own out of anger .. ...mixture of greed,anger,and ignorance ...the three poisons of humanity ....its like a snitch ...some do it for fear,some for greed ,some out of hate ,and spite ...
