"Wokery!" Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo Hits Out At The 'Rewriting Of British History'

Historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo on the rewriting of British history.
The UK’s economic success is the result of “British ingenuity and industry”, not colonialism, a Cabinet minister has said.
Kemi Badenoch, the Business Secretary, made the comments in praise of a book published by the free-market Institute of Economic Affairs think tank, in which political economist Kristian Niemietz claimed Britain’s growth was not financed by the slave trade or its imperial possessions.
Ms Badenoch, seen as a leading contender for the Conservative leadership should the party lose the coming election, said the book was “a welcome counterweight to simplistic narratives that exaggerate the significance of empire and slavery to Britain’s economic development”.
Rafe says: “This is an effort by the left to demoralise and destabilise Britain and the West as part of this cultural Marxist sweeping wokery!"

    Slavery is rife ACROSS the World! Yet these people who shout loud without the ability to even listen to anyone else never ever speak out about. RHM is totally right and has been all along. People taking it upon themselves to destroy our culture and actually re-write our history are a disgrace. Who the hell gave them permission to do so. I see a lot of my Bajan friends returning to their 'roots' with sufficient money from the sale of their UK homes to buy outright wonderful homes, ready to settle back on the island. They would argue that Britain has done something great for them! Two sides to every story. I am proud of our past, proud to be English and British, and proud to be white. I will never apologise for anything other than something I am responsible for!

    In 1833 when the Abolition of Slavery Act was instigated there was another act which was supposed to put and end to children under the age of 9 working in the mills and factories and pits under appalling conditions, as did some of my child ancestors. They were also not supposed to work more than nine hours a day. These are the people that built Britain as well. None of these people seem to know any social history. At this time there were also thousands of homeless children on the streets, ragged and no shoes. And always the bitter cold winters. Draconian Poor Laws. No white privilege for them.I'd like to see some recognition of these people of Britain.

Her father killed in WW1 and her mother raised 8 kids on her own but all were always fed and the rent always paid! Unlike today where we have so many benefits but parents rather spend money on takeaways, mobile phones, tvs, tattoos, Netflix, clothes they wear once, having hair and nails done but not feeding their kids or paying their rent.

    We had recent slavery in Britain, it was called the Magdeline laundries, thanks to the Catholic Church. Young girls and women who became pregnant and had no sex education were imprisoned in these nunneries for life, their babies sold, the unsold mainly ended up in cesspits. The Catholic Church has still not apologised.there are still victims around today as the last laundry closed in the 1980s Also the Portuguese and other nations began buying slaves as they saw opportunities for wealth. Slavery is still very active in Africa today.

    ​@@toastedsandwich1Magdalene institutions were in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Sweden, Canada and Australia. They had different degrees of harshness depending who they were run by and the social attitudes of the society of the time and where they were located. None of then were a picnic, conditions were not intended to be an encouragement to continued 'vice' or 'immorality', but they were intended to make life better in future by providing some degree of skill, to help get employment, at a time when prostitution was common to survive, or that opportunity was denied once you were 'a fallen woman's because the man you thought was your beau and intended to get married ran off and left you pregnant and alone. Some of the institutions however were downright pernicious. In Ireland they took on a particular brutality, and worked in cooperation with the state, with girls admitted and kept confined, sometimes for life, babies dying, the women and childrens bodies who died from brutality, neglect, disease were buried in the grounds, unmarked. These 'homes' were still running in Ireland under these kinds of regimes until 1998, whereas elsewhere in the world they were wound down between the 1900s and finally all had closed by the 1950s in Britain. That said, there were still institutions and social services taking children from their mothers, having them adopted, and many were sent to Canada and Australia. The film Sunshine and Oranges tells the story of children sent to Australia. So, there were institutions that treated many badly and in a way that is utterly unacceptable today compared to when they began in the late 18th century. Ireland however was particularly bad and some of the worst of it after independence in 1922, because the state did not intervene in the religious excess and serious work exploitation and abuse, but endorsed it.

My fascination started from hearing casual conversations at home about 'back home' v life in England & hearing dad discussing the politics of Partition with his friends & then the totally different take outside ,at school & in my primary history & general reading & newspapers, radio programmes. It was rare for Post war schools to have any brown/black children & everyone was very patriotic, Eurocentric. I am still addicted to reading widely. History is very complicated & needs to be taught & debated so people search for more information & understand its relevance to their own life as I happened to realise very early on. The extremist agendas need to be countered very vigorously, honestly, with facts, debates & education.

    I would like to see the wilful misrepresentation of history being made a criminal offence in the same way that the slander and libel laws apply. Rewriting of history is of course fine when new verifiable evidence comes to light, as of course it sometimes does, or expounding a theory of the meaning or consequences of events so long as its not presented as proven fact. But anything else is nothing more than propaganda and should have no place in the education system. In my dealings with young people these days I find many seem to be reluctant to find things for themselves. Many older people are no different of course, but tend to be a bit more cynical and therefore less likely to believe what they see on tv or what appears on social media. Also, many people in Britain today regardless of their age group have little or no interest in history anyway. The fact is many get their history lessons by watching period dramas, adventure and war movies, which to be honest usually use the disclaimer that they are only based on actual events.

    Upper Canada legislated against slavery in the early 1790s, even though it didn't have a culture of slavery. There were maybe a handful of 'slaves' in a few upper class households in Toronto and Montreal. It was in response to Loyalists coming up from the 13 American colonies after the War of Independence, bringing their slaves. Canadians didn't like it.

    Both my grandparents worked in the Durham (UK) coal mines, their homes were owned by the mine owners they were underpaid and overworked. It wasn't slavery but it wasn't much better. My great grandfather was killed in a mine, his wife was evicted from her tied home because she no longer had a relative that worked in the mine! Blackhall Co Durham

    This narrative is used by less successful countries because they have an inferiority complex with regards to the United Kingdom. I have experienced this first hand after living in a European country and having much prejudice against me just because I am British, and hearing that all the woes of the world can be put at our feet, (by people who have no knowledge of history I might add and also have no wish to know the truth about history because it suits their agenda). I won't mention the name of the country but let's just say I jokingly put it down to the fact that we've never been forgiven for having won the Battle of Trafalgar against two other European countries. The fact that such a small island has had such economical success, attracts negative feelings towards it, and is due to the oldest and most destructive (in my opinion) emotion in the world: Envy. This is why they have been trying for decades to bring us down and they're finally achieving it, both by mass illegal immigration and by turning the narrative on its head by rewriting history.

    I think he got it wrong, Spain never involved itself in large scale slave trade, not at the levels of the British and the Portuguese, i.e. There are not large African American communities in the ex-Spanish territories. The Spanish kingdoms and colonies in the Americas opposed it.

    britiain has the greatest history a country could have, had the biggest empire ever created, a lasting cultural, economic, industrial and legal legacy. Only empire in history to declare war on slavery and its influence enabled slavery to be defeated. We fought against the Nazis when we could have abandoned Europe with our empire intact but we didnt and history is fukl of us standing up for other nations- see the napoleonic wars or the crimean war. To look at the success of the countries that used to be part of the empire confirms you were lucky if you were part of the great Empire

    What we learnt in history when i was in school between 95-05 was: in primary school it was a tiny bit about the names of roman gods, a tiny bit about glnames of greek gods, a very very tiny bit(1 or 2 lessons) about henry VII and elizabeth I he had seven wives and created the church of england she fought the spanish armada thats it. Secondary school was just 5 years of studying ww1 and ww2 all mixed up in order so you get confused over which is which and the timeline etc. and about 6 months of muhammed ali for the final gcse exam. Absolutely brilliant and enlightening i know sooooo much about the history of the world or britain ...... Education is a joke in this country

    I am not woke and totally against those morons, but the Empire dissolved because of people rebelling against it, and more importantly it was to expensive to maintain. Giving up slavery was not a British innovation, and the Nation did not become rich, but rather certain sections of society became rich, We should not be held accountable for the sins of the past, but at least acknowledge actual history, otherwise these one sided debates will always continue.

Africa.slaves. America sugar cotton back to Britain Why break the circuit comming back home with (lets be honest) a perishable cargo

    I am sure as a historian he knows about the trade triangle as they never bought slaves to England but took them to places where they were needed to work on plantations, exchanged them for goods we needed like sugar, tobacco and tea and then sailed the goods back to England. We had no use for black slaves here, only white poor 'slaves!' Hence the name 'slave triangle'. I think he meant that the ships involved in slavery passed through those ports with the goods they traded for slaves, not that they actually took slaves there! It is obvious that we didn't bring Black slaves here because where did they all disapoear to after the abolition? Never saw a black person until I was in my teens around mid-ñate 60s and I lived in outer London! Explains why USA and other countries with plantations have so many indigenous black people from abolition era as they were freed slaves. None such thing here! All immigrants who arrived post WW2 and since!

    Many people who came from the West Indies have made great successes of their lives. What would have been their lives if their ancestors had not been carried forcibly from their homelands.

    the British East India Company was a corporation.. it was shut down following the Indian mutiny and its possessions became Crown possessions. the Opium Wars were not all about opium - they were about China doing what it has always done - use trade only on its own terms and would not import manufactured goods etc from Uk and France but expected us to buy all their products.
