Old Blighty

Britain: Librator and OppressorA short history of the Isles of Britain in one hour.We Brits, we're proud of our history but most of us just know snippets about the Romans, 1066, Henry VIII and World War Two. Let me take you on a 6,000 year journey to see the forming of a nation.It's the story of an island people and their gifts and tribulations, and a succession of periods, phases, invasions, migrations, ups and downs.It's not just about kings, battles and acts of parliament - the usual stuff dished up as history. It's about the collective experience of the British, the effect we've had on the world and the way this story affects us now.It's a chapter from my 2003 book 'Healing the Hurts of Nations'. Whether or not you're British, you might find this interesting.Love, Palden#history #britishhistory #unitedkingdom
