Hurrah! Mail accepts we're British after all (2009) http://www.nextleft.org/2009/03/daily-mail-accepts-were-british-after.html?m=1 …
The published text was mildly desnarked from the original http://www.nextleft.org/2009/02/daily-mail-in-want-of-citizenship.html?m=1 …
Snarkier version when - despite the apology - they did the same thing again a year later! http://www.nextleft.org/2010/04/so-does-anybody-count-as-truly-british.html?m=1 …
A sketch illuminating points about Empire & other foreign influences on who we are could work fine. (Goodness Gracious Me did it well as comedy). Different ways of doing it for children, teenagers, adults. As history, have a bit of nuance & encourage critical thinking
It is important context to realise most 11-14 year olds aren't starting with a "British = white" premise, nor are most of their parents (to a much greater extent than in 1970s/80s or early 90s.). Suggests educationalists should now be making that point differently by 2010, 2020.
* what does "British" mean? * Do you have any evidence at all for your latter statement? It sounds like a widely misinformed hunch. There is good evidence for about 1/10 but none at all that I have seen for 5/10 people having a racially exclusive BNP version of who is British.
It's called Horrible Histories. It's about horrible things that happened in history. The end.
I am not referring to references to slavery or Empire. I am asking why the terms "British" and "not British" somehow seem to be being defined as the defunct BNP might understand them, rather than as 9/10 of the rest of us in Britain understand them
