Obviously, they were having a problem telling fact from fiction.

@Heretic-007 It was part of a long article, titled: "How liars create the ‘illusion of truth", he wrote for one of the BBC's websites.

@edmundblackaddercoc8522 They had to find a name for all these outsiders living on the island now. So "British" became in the catch-all title, whether the native inhabitants like it ,or not. In Japan or China. these foreign people would be called 外国人, which literally means "outside country person". And that's what they would be termed forever more.

It's called being "economical with the truth". Or in old speak, lying,

@melbeeswax6087 "British" is now seen as a catch all term.

@100chinarapedbygenghiskhan7 "So no point in comparing the two . India has so many people with different ideology living together." Funny how you mentioned that. India is probably the primest example of a multi-faith society, not working. Four hundred people died in the The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, also known as the Amritsar massacre. However, that pales into insignificance, the huge body count racked up in the Partition of India, in 1947. When Indians finally resumed their tradition of genocidal hatred towards of each other , after two hundred years of relative peace in the British Raj. Instead of peacefully separating into the two new states demanded by the Hindus and Muslims. They decided to see how many they could kill of each other. In the butchery, up to two million Indians lost their lives. Heaven knows, if a similar conflict happens in Britain, due to growing numbers of those with alien cultures. You probably thought you had me in a corner. However, you underestimated my knowledge of history. Before Britain should even consider giving India or Pakistan a handout, which didn't even exist as countries under British rule. Those two countries should be compensating the families killed in all that intercommunal violence after Partition. Finally, what about money for those whose ancestors were slaves in India. Before the British came, there were more slaves in India, than in the rest of the World combined. Also, widow burning and infanticide. Of course, the first thing the British did, was to outlaw these barbaric practices. The same as they did with such abominations, in the rest of the World. Not for economic reasons, as stopping those traditions actually cost money. Instead, because what the Indians were doing to each other, was immoral. Have a nice day.

@christalmeth613 That Bulgarian, called Ivan. Who defaced the colosseum, was described as "British", in a insult to real Brits.

@TController Legacy lamestream media is on its way out. The sooner it's dead, the better. On YT, you can choose what you want to view, and there's more than ten of you could ever watch.

@RillUK There was some crime of course, but people, especially females could walk around in relative safety. Even in the major cities.

"The BBC also saw a 20 percentage point drop in trust since 2018, although its fall from 75% to 55% still leaves it as the most trusted news brand in the UK, jointly with ITV News and just ahead of Channel 4 News on 54%." - Press Gazette (2022).

Lies are the most detestable of things. Thankfully, they can always be brought down by truth.

@christalmeth613 It's not even just British. The census allowed them to combine the term British, with where their ancestors originated. To create some hybrid term. Nice if you can get away with it.

@melbeeswax6087 No. It was a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, until 1920.

@100chinarapedbygenghiskhan7 Dunno, mate. Sh1t happens. Stalin and Mao, killed millions of their people. There's even a big picture of Mao in Tiananmen square today.

@candy-le4nh You're funny as well as ignorant. Who asked for Partition of India? It wasn't the British. It was the Indian Muslim and Hindu leaders. It's lucky that they insisted on it. Otherwise, without a British presence, the death toll would have probably been ten times higher. Those that moved, without being killed. Were the lucky ones.. At least they were safe, now surrounded by people of the same religion. Anymore nonsense you want try?

@candy-le4nh It's odd how they usually go quiet, when their ignorance is exposed.

Don't worry, the wheels will be coming off very soon. Thousands are cancelling their TV licences. Legacy media is thankfully on its way out. There's going to be a lot of unemployed media workers, looking for McJobs.

@paulmerchant4416 Were you born stupid, or was it habit you just picked up? The Crown Jewels were NOT stolen. The stones had already been in the possession of several owners, and were probably illegally obtained long before they were gifted to the monarchy. Have you never heard of buying, or being given something, as a gift? You might steal things, but others don't. BTW, you're also ignorant of not knowing that there is gold in Britain. There are deposits in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Why not do a little research, and then you won't need to lie anymore.

@gitfoad8032 Most trusted could be a 2% approval rating, whilst the others are at 1%. So it's all relative.

If you're 75 or over and you get Pension Credit, you can get a free TV licence. If you're blind or in residential care, you can get a discounted TV licence. So even blind people have to pay something, if they want to "watch " TV.
