  1. Why do the BBC only seem to give a platform to so many ignorant black 'Historians' instead of the intelligent ones? As well as not understanding the difference between an Army Corps and a corpse, she also states many lies as facts. First/ The British army first recruited black regiment in WW1? Not true! Eight black regiments were recruited in 1794, my ancestor recieved his first commission in one of them, the 8th West Indian regiment in 1798. 2nd/ She claims they were not highly regarded, another lie. General Trigge the Commander in Chief of all West Indian forces, black and white said of the 8th West Indian Regiment: "I have particular satisfaction in being able to add that the 8th West Indian Regiment formed within the last three years..... engaged with a degree of gallantry, and behaved in a manner, that would do honour to any troops" High praise indeed ? 3rd/ She claimed they were not paid the same? Yet In fact, even way back in 1794 they recieved exactly the same wages, clothing and rations as their white counterparts. 4th/ She also claimed none recieved higher rank than Sergeant? So what about Lieutenant Walter Tully of the Middlesex Regiment who was commended for his "gallantry and coolness" by Major General Lawford. He was killed at Bapaume in 1918 and despite the efforts of a white soldier Private Billigham to recover his body, even while under fire, his body was lost. His white commanding officer also wrote to his family a letter of condolence and said his name had been put forward for the Military Cross. Why don't these black BBC 'historians' tell the true story of black history, instead of anti British racist propaganda?
