Regardless of who is doing what, this trend of judging things to todays standards from bygone eras is quite tiresome. Things change, thank god, and we move forward. Plastering ridiculous headlines and virtuous labels on a time when people didn't know any better is bonkers.

Both sides need to grow up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you please tell me who is putting those things in the headlines and stirring people up? I've only seen it splashed in 1 paper this morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you are going to ignore the sentiment of the post completely. ffs. No wonder bridges never get built.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Not at all, i'm just trying to explain to you that your saying both sides etc when one side (BLM) has NOTHING to do with this, but they are being thrown in with the silly Enid thing, just to get people angry. You are literally being manipulated to hate something that doesn't exists...

Enid Blyton getting it in the neck now
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure i didn't hear BLM mention Enid Blyton in the protest, but according to the Daily Mail, it's their faultcertain things just don't age well, but i PROMISE you BLM doesn't give a feck about Enid Blyton.

I really don’t get how this is considered a new thing with Blyton though. Saying there were racist and xenophobic elements to her books has been said for 50 years already. Why is it news again now?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think its because the English Heritage (the blue plaque people) have written it on there website.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ah. Still not sure it’s newsworthy!

Excuse me? Hahaha. What has this got to do with me not liking BLM? I havent made any reference to BLM and Enid Blyton.

Not you personally...

It’s not looking at it out of context though, it’s applying the same critique that was said during her lifetime too (and I’d find a modern day biography not referencing it to be even stranger tbh). That’s why I don’t really get the issue.

Neither am I. I don't necessarily agree with what the English Heritage have done, but I'm not going to rage about it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s not rewriting history but it is looking at it out of context to the time things occurred
Perhaps in the future folk will look at our Prime minister and wonder why we elected a serial liar and clown shoe
Nowt strange as folk
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure this period will not be remembered too fondly in 50 years time.

Imagine people looking back on Trump, Brexit, the booing of anti-racism gestures etc.

I genuinely couldn’t give a fook
I was merely saying that’s what GB news was going with
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well they’re wrong then!

This behaviour has been enabled by a large section of the government, it’s not surprising. This country is more hostile to live in compared to before.

When you’ve got a senior front bencher telling dead Grenfell victims they should’ve used their common sense when escaping a burning building then what chance have we got

Statements like that are part of the problem.

What’s not cancerous about populism then?

Any proof as to who has sent this.Hear me out but it has been known for some people to stir things up by sending letters like this out.Could have been sent out by someone on the Left as easily as someone on the left.

Are we saying that "telling it as it is" may not actually be as it is but just as they see it?

Ridiculous. I thought it was fact if you say that you're telling it as it is.
