Big Fat Lie. We have 3 Mosques.
...and just like that, the prep for this year's HA Conference has begun! @colinmccormick.bsky.social and I will be presenting about our ongoing work on teaching the British Empire, inspired by @corinnefowler.bsky.social 's Our Island Stories 📖 first time attending HA Conference too - can't wait! 🌟
Epstein managed different networks. The UK media has rightly centred the powerful pedophile ring. It has maintained an uncanny silence about the global, anti-democratic, far right political network. Farage is up to his neck in it. If it weren’t for unprecedented double standards it’d be career over.
Good luck Em
Ignore the inevitable, instinctive, ad hominem, knee jerk hostility to a book on slavery and the monarchy in the right wing press. This is a better glimpse of @brookenewman.bsky.social’s new book:

Give this a listen. @corinnefowler.bsky.social is sublime. If you havent bought Our Island Stories I'd highly recommend

Wow, very brave here mate😁. Think I'll blend in later 😃
I suspect the narrative will remain unchanged, judging by his 'island of strangers' comment (albeit he has apologised). I hope all the talk of the 1833 abolition isn't solely focused on evangelicals, with only token nods to African agency.
3.Yet the British courts let him off, citing lack of evidence and turning a blind eye to ongoing profiteering. This contradiction eg the moral rhetoric at home vs complicity abroad is central to understanding Britain’s real legacy on slavery.
2.Will use this in our next book update. Will drop in next to Bramley Moore the Liverpool mayor/merchant who was caught trading forBrazil well after abolition. In the mid 1840s, he was linked to ships supplying enslaved people and goods produced by slave labour, despite laws against the trade
1. Thanks for this, Arthur. Interesting. Clearly the govt wants applicants to believe that GB was a moral leader, saw the error of its ways =abolished slavery. Typical GB News narrative/interpretation.The Danes abolished the slave trade first, in 1792 years before Britain’s 1807 Act.
Great to know @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social! Thanks so much to you and to @colinmccormick.bsky.social also for your #SHP25 workshop also! Loved the approach you've developed to connect the local/national/global! So much to work with there!
I suspect your inference is correct Lee
Brilliant session by @dankeates.bsky.social . Can't wait to read it. @victoriacrooks.bsky.social
Thank you Ailsa. Hope you're well
Kicking-off day 2 of @1972shp.bsky.social Conference 2025 with @colinmccormick.bsky.social & @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social’s powerful presentation of local, national and international approaches to learning about Liverpool’s history of slave-trading and enslavement. #SHP25
Tom Allen masterpiece. Watch his @histassoc.bsky.social session before it expires if you can
One account describes a retreating soldier: "We sensed somehow that these men had seen hell...He half turned, & indicating the weary straggling figures before him, shrugged expressively, [and said]: 'General fucked up.....Back where they fucking well started.'"
That general was my great grandpa.
