Bevin . . . Here in the UK . . . the history of the past 200 years is being altered . . . events whitewashed out, statues cancelled, building renamed, streets renamed, with people of great influence being written out. The past was not perfect, great evil was done . . but attempts to make the past more politically correct by removing all references to people, or their antecedents who had behaved in a way unacceptable to the present day. The way we are going I can imagine that books like Mein Kampf being 'cancelled'; an act which would impoverish our understanding of how the ideas it contains can lead to evil regimes.
But they better get on with it quickly before all the history is rewritten
What do you mean?
