BLM-Inspired Council Targets 'Father of Capitalism' Adam Smith's Grave

7 Mar 2021
The grave of Scottish Enlightenment philosopher Adam Smith has become the latest target of a Black Lives Matter-inspired review of sites supposedly linked to “slavery and colonialism” by Edinburgh Council.
Adam Smith, known as the “father of capitalism” for his seminal works on economic theory, including
The Wealth of Nations, has drawn the ire of the Scottish capital’s local government, a coalition between the left-wing Labour Party and the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP).
In the wake of Black Lives Matter protests spreading to the United Kingdom after the death of George Floyd in America, the city council launched a review of historical monuments, place names, and other memorials for “removal or re-interpretation” over alleged links to “racism and oppression”.

Churchill's Grandson Joins Historian to Slam Anti-Churchill Academics

1 Mar 2021
Sir Winston Churchill’s grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames, has joined a prominent historian for a comprehensive fisking of the case against the wartime leader advanced by left-wing academics at a Churchill College seminar.
Priyamvada Gopal, Onyeka Nubia, Kehinde Andrews, and Madhusree Mukerjee had slated the British icon at the college bearing his name in a seminar titled
The Racial Consequences of Mr Churchill, in which he was described as “the perfect embodiment of white supremacy” and the empire he led to victory over Hitler’s Germany branded “far worse than the Nazis.”
These and other charges have now been rebutted in a Policy Exchange paper written by historian Andrew Roberts, author of

Farage Celebrates 'Woka-Cola' Dropping 'Try to Be Less White' Training

24 Feb 2021
Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has hailed a successful public pressure campaign against Coca-Cola pushing training that urged staff to “be less white”.
“‘Woke Capitalism’ is what it’s known as when big companies have somebody ‘right on’ in the HR department who thinks they need to do this for popularity,” the Brexit champion said of the training, which included such illuminating slides as “To be less white is to: be less oppressive, be less arrogant, be less certain, be less defensive, be less ignorant, be more humble, listen, believe, break with apathy, break with white solidarity.”
The fizzy drinks giant has now confirmed it will be excising this “absolutely crackpot idea”, as Farage put it, from its training — a further climbdown from its earlier equivocal statement on the scandal, which said only that the seminar was not “a focus” of its “curriculum”.

Delingpole: Woke History Audit Confuses Anti-Slaver with Slaver

Delingpole: Woke History Audit Confuses Anti-Slaver with Slaver
20 Feb 2021
A street in Wales has been put on the naughty step by the Welsh government because of its supposed historical associations with the slave trade. But the man after whom it is named was in fact one of Britain’s most ardent and heroic anti-slavers.
Peel Street in Wrexham is one of dozens of streets put on a warning list as part of a £170,000 audit —
The Slave Trade and the British Empire — commissioned by the Welsh government in the wake of the briefly fashionable Black Lives Matter protests.
Though it doesn’t make it onto the Red danger list reserved for alleged monsters like Christopher Columbus, Lord Kitchener, Clive of India, and Francis Drake — “definite personal culpability” — it does make it onto the next-worst amber list marked “personal culpability uncertain”.

Sadiq Khan Unveils 'Diversity' Commission to Target London's Statues

10 Feb 2021
Leftist Mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveiled a Black Lives Matter inspired ‘diversity’ commission on Tuesday, which will review all historical monuments in the British capital.
Mr Khan’s Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, which is comprised of left-wing activists and celebrities, will seek to “improve diversity” in London, targeting statues, street names, memorials, and building names.
The stated intention of the group will be to determine what “legacies should be celebrated” and to increase representation among “Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, women, LGTBQ+ and disabled groups,” a press release from the mayor’s office said.

BLM Backers Want Captain Cook Statues Toppled, Streets Renamed

6 Feb 2021
Black Lives Matter activists are targeting statues and other memorials to Captain James Cook, the great British explorer who charted much of Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii, for removal.
The Yorkshireman is one of many great Britons who had made his way on to the sprawling ‘Topple the Racists’ hit-list compiled by the already-out-of-date Stop Trump Coalition. Its targets have previously included the likes of Sir Francis Drake, the English mariner who defeated the Spanish Armada, and Earl Grey, the former prime minister who oversaw the abolition of slavery but is today most famous for the aromatic tea named in his honour.

'Historical Wokery': BLM Inspired Council Targets British War Hero's Statue

13 Jan 2021
A city council in the UK is set to remove the statue of a British war hero after a Black Lives Matter inspired review determined that he represent colonialism and does not represent women and so-called ‘gender non-binary’ people.
Following nationwide Black Lives Matter protests over the summer, the Exeter City Council established an ‘equality impact assessment’ to determine whether the statue honouring famed British general, Sir Redvers Buller should be removed.
The review found that General Buller’s statue would negatively impact anyone who “does not define themselves in binary gender terms,” according to the
Daily Mail.
“The General Buller statue represents the patriarchal structures of empire and colonialism which impact negatively on women and anyone who does not define themselves in binary gender terms,” the review stated.
