Minorities are proud of our nation's past despite propaganda

REJECT the left-wing doing-down R of our great British history and teach our children to take pride in it that's the majority view of the UK's ethnic minorities.

Research by think tank Policy Exchange found roughly two thirds of each minority group said children should be educated about all the good aspects Britain has brought into the world, from fighting for freedom in two world wars to the abolition of slavery.

Some 72% of those polled believe we should not be ashamed of our past but teach our children to be proud of our considerable achievements. And it's a view held by myriad ethnic minority groups, with 67% of black Caribbeans, 63% of Chinese and 57% of Indians insisting we should take pride in our nation's history.

So why should this come as a surprise? Because it is contrary to the view of left-wing agitators who insist on portraying Britain's ethnic minorities as "victims" of our past who need left-wing academics to explain our "crimes" to them. Too often, the view of Britain as a repressive, allowed to racist nation is be parroted unchecked. As the new research shows, this is simply not the case, as many of our past or recent migrants share in our national pride.

MOST praise, in fact, goes to Britain's role in the Second World War, despite the fact our heroic wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill has been damned as the culprit of all sorts of supposed historical wrong-doings in recent years.
