Why not send them to Runnymead?

News that the Government are going to send two pupils from every six form on a trip to Aushwitz just shows how skewed our education system has become.

Coming fast on the heels of calls to take pride in our own history out of the classroom this just shows the goverenment at it's shallow worst.

The best protection against the possibility of another holocaust must be and understanding of who we are. Sending children who do not understand the growth of Liberty in our country on horror tourism to the gas chambers of the Shoah gets us nowhere. I cannot believe that there is a single six-former studying history who has not studied the rise of the Nazis. The growth of National and International Socialism is littered by examples of the destruction of individual liberties.

What we in the UK can be proud of is that we stood out against the Nazis with the Empire, almost alone. It was our belief in freedom, a belief nutured by an understanding of our own history that gave us the confidence to oppose the great totalitarain regiemes of the 20th Century.

So I am calling for the Government to start concentrating on those landmarks of freedom; Runymead, Tamworth, St Peter's Fields, Tolpuddle and others, rather than chasing after some collective guilt of which we are not guilty.

Is it cos I is ignorant?

I know that the current education system is failing, but this attack on UKIP by a Lib/Dem on Youtube has got to take the biscuit,

"If you want a government that will keep the UK to Europe for a better future as we done in the first place...Vote Liberal Democrats".

Lord help us

Update,

I recieved this splendid email from the chap before he deleted my comment on his video post,

"well my dear sir, say what you like about my hand writen, but at least I don't support the UKIP that will never win an election as they are simerler to the BNP.
It is that simple, if you have nothing good to say, don,t say anything my dear sir".

Like my correspondent, words fail me.
