Bbc Licence Fee Pays To Teach Lies To British Children

[Khandro]

Andrew Neil has already had a go at this "drivel", but the reasons are well amplified here, don't you think?

[TheChair]

Nope. Some guy waffling almost incomprehensible drivel to try to deny historical fact.

[Mamyalynne]

Children view Horrible Histories for the fun, reference to bodily functions etc - give them some credit.

[tonyav]

That Nish Kumar is a proper Richard Head imo.

[Mamyalynne]

I haven't been able to find out if he wrote that episode or just hosted it, but it is funny.

I have seen our Royal Family described on here as Foreign scroungers!

[Mozz71]

Not really. Adults whining about kids' shows are pretty pathetic.

[Mozz71]

Sorry, got confuzzled. I don't find Kumar that funny, but he has an audiance who do so the BEEB are justified in financing his show.

[Mamyalynne]

Khandro is only reflecting the mood of some souls - there's a Twitter storm ,a Facebook furore and Newspapers are groaning under the weight of outraged outpourings from their readers.

Meanwhile children are laughing at farts and bottoms and then asking 'what's for tea?'

[cassa333]

Kids always have and always will laugh at farts and poop jokes. But the thing about Horrible Histories is that is supposed to be historically accurate.

They use these programmes as a fun educational tool. Therefore inaccuracies should be called out and put right and tbh I do think it is propaganda.

They do say that if you want to really and truely affect the moral fibre and political outlook of a nation you start with the children. You can scream and bludgeon the adults and some will be cowtowed and frightened into submission (isn’t ‘you’re a racist’ used to shut people up?). But adults still have an ability to know what is right and push back.

What kids are told in school and of school age sticks with them.

[Mamyalynne]

In between the singing,dancing, farting and belching I heard few if any inaccuracies.

[Gromit]

Horrible Histories are a series of best selling children's books.
The TV series is not made by the BBC but an independent production company. It has won numerous awards including several BAFTAs.
Neil objected to the two minute song at the end of this episode. While he didn’t like the song, it was not at all inaccurate.
Nish Kumar seems to have been credited with creating this episode but was merely the presenter, doing a short intro. The show has run for many years (without Kumar), so it seems odd that the critique is aimed at the Asian man and not the team who actually made the programme.

The Akkad Daily YouTube Channel is yet another in the long list of right wing commentaries you frequently inflict on us. A quick glance at his other videos reveal snipes at the usual right wing targets, the BBC, the jew George Soros, Women etc.

"I haven't been able to find out if he wrote that episode or just hosted it, but it is funny. "

Mamya, I don't think Kumar had anything to do with it, appears to be written by Dominic Brigstocke and Caroline Norris.

[emmie]

i thought it quite accurate and funny, i love HH

[youngmafbog]

The BBC will always promote liberal elitist propoganda.

It will never change, either we put up with finding it or we force out politicians to stop the tv 'tax;.

[emmie]

haven't you watched it, it's fairly accurate and funny

[fiction-factory]

Anti British propaganda? I struggle to see why anyone watches this sort of drivel but maybe I'm too busy getting on with and enjoying life. 4 minutes of your link was enough for me. I generally enjoy Horrible Histories though,- far more informative and entertaining than this drivel.

[Spicerack]

It's no wonder students are so *** thick, nowadays.

[ToraToraTora]

left teachers have been brainwashing the saucepans for decades anyway, that's why they all leave school as self loathing snowflakes.

[naomi24]

Horrible Histories are great! They teach children in a fun way and because of that, the kids remember it. However, it’s a pity that it’s been seen fit to introduce a biased version of politics into the mix. That doesn’t bode well at all.

[Spicerack]

Kumquat reckons things that didn't originate in Britain aren't British.
I could go along with that.

[Gromit]

// It's no wonder students are so *** thick, nowadays. //

The programme is not aimed at students, or adults. It is on children’s BBC and is for kids. It is entertainment for children, not education. It is not part of the national curriculum, it is fart jokes for 8 year olds.
That that singles it out for criticism by grown men old enough to know better is an amusing addition to the show’s popularity.
