  • Puffin Books were once a respectable publisher, but they now publish any trendy nonsense, including a bizarre book by a television presenter called Alison Hammond. This book, Black in Time: The Most Awesome Black Britons from Yesterday to Today, is aimed at children and contains some of the most horribly misleading material about British history ever seen.

      A few years ago whilst working for a major charity I attended a diversity course. After a few hours I asked the ‘facilitator’ what the ratio of the various races in the UK population was. ‘Oh that’s easy she said 40% white, 30% black & 30% Asian’

      I would agree here... I work in a school, mainly with teenagers. The older ones who have now left (18-20) have been pretty woke in terms of ideology, dress etc but the younger ones I see coming through are wanting to do away with a lot of this stuff and are big fans of fact checking everyone (a legacy of the so called 'age of misinformation', but it seems to be backfiring on the left as they now want to fact check them too).

      Its about creating such a massive victim mentality in one specific group that their future will simply be about sympathy and support. Its a way white pseudo-liberals can maintain control and power by having a perpetual victim group. Its mutually beneficial to the 'liberals' and the black population. You will notice that white liberals push like crazy for 'diversity and inclusion' at lower levels but are very reluctant to replace themselves or their peers.

I was amazed at much of the bulls droppings she has come out with after achieving her degree and continuing to do her masters. It isn't just ignoring the mores of the time both in America and Britain, it is the total guilt trip she has been put on for being white and British. We have always had an hair shirt mentality in the UK but it is now becoming extreme. Add to this the veggie (near Vegan) claptrap and I despair.

    If I were black, I would feel pretty insignificant, knowing the only way for the history of my ancestors to be told was for things to be made up about it. Usually by someone of my own color who should know better taking half a kernel of truth and building a fictional history on top of it, or by patronizing, long established tv networks or publishing houses feeling the need to accommodate the trend to put black faces in places where they never were. Either way it only leads to disillusionment when independent, authentic research finds out that very little to none of this made up history has any basis in fact.

    Simon, it's the same here in Ireland, I've commented before on the fact that some people celebrate Irish Black history month over here. Problem is there are very slim pickings, in Ireland we adore footballer Paul McGrath and singer Phil Lynott. So our national broadcaster, RTE, had to make a big deal about Frederick Douglass visiting Ireland back in the day, and pulled some shite out of their arse that he inspired Daniel O'Connell in some vague way. It's truly pathetic.

She is at present co-presenter on the morning programme which Eamonn Holmes and his wife spent years on.

    Our universities are full of serious and highly knowledgeable historians, the vast majority of whom know that this sort of "history" is absolute rubbish. Why do they not challenge it at every turn? Apart from the Marxist activist types who believe lying to the public is justified in order to achieve their aims, most are just too scared to open their mouths - they know the consequences of challenging the woke orthodoxy - they would be denounced, their books wouldn't be published, they would be ostracised and would probably loose their jobs! But I believe we are seeing signs of a swinging of the pendulum - a time will come when the zeitgeist changes and the truth can raise its head above the parapet.

    I'd never heard of Alison Hammond so I googled her. Horrified to discover that she started her TV "career" as a Big Brother contestant. As far as intellectual credentials go, it doesn't get any lower. Also interesting that all these books that tell lies about British history are aimed at children. You don't see any aimed at the adult market (correct me if I am wrong here). Adults are less easy to fool.

    Many British people fail to realise that their most famous musical group, The Beatles, were in fact a product of Africa and the Caribbean.
    The group gained their name by cleverly forming an anagram of their mentor, Jamaican, Stab Lee. Almost all of their music was written by the group’s drummer, African Ngo Ristarr, who selflessly shared the musical credits and financial rewards with his fellow music makers.

    Alison Hammond is a presenter of This Morning. She has been a long term fixture on that show, but for many years was there just for the purpose of bringing a silly factor to proceedings, performing some sort of "whacky" comic relief trying to drum up some interest in some competition for the viewers to enter. That sort of thing.
    She has no real history of presenting a show in full but was recently given the presenting duties of the show itself, replacing long-term hosts (with significant experience in such matters) Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, neither of whom wanted to leave and the viewer numbers were pretty good. Hammond was essentially a diversity hire and built up her initial stint on This Morning after appearing on one of the first editions of Big Brother, at a time when appearing on the show led to decent opportunities in media careers afterwards. Her early presenting led to some fairly serious clangers, including:
    - asking Graham Norton about his dead dog
    - stating "we expected him to die" about Prince Philip
    - Stated the wrong name about a royal death
    I'm not sure what the viewer figures are like since she took over, but she shouldn't have been given the gig. Even if you take her to be a polished tv presenter and formidable mind (she isn't), she isn't a historian and there's no reason to see how and why she has written a history book.

We were told by a Pakistani muslim from Leeds. See the Syrians have been here all along. 'Multi cultural' and diverse, but built a wall to keep the Scots out.
