  1. In Britain, the extreme left long ago realised that it would never win power through the ballot box but, as it works to very long time scales, it took the view that 'Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man,” a maxim attributed to a variety of sources, including Aristotle & the Jesuits. Accordingly, they have been steadily infiltrating the British education system since, at least, the 1980s. Consequently, the UK is now dominated by people brought up to have a blinkered view of the world, reinforced by the ability of the same 'cancel culture' to dictate what may, or more importantly, may not be said. In short, you pay at least, lip service to this received wisdom, or you pay the price. Within the education system of today, alleged academics can happily issue threats that, unless certain statues are removed, they will refuse to lecture students attending those colleges, and the supposed management of those colleges generally accede to their demands. It would appear that the United States is proceeding steadily down the same path. As George Orwell (hardly a screaming right-winger, by the way) wrote so presciently, 'The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.'
