But that’s the point - the right wing media control the narrative and in doing so control politics.

This is one of the most important history documentaries for a generation. It was well evidenced and fair. I hope it is shown widely in primary and secondary schools. Why does the right wing press get so emotional over irrefutable facts?

It was excellent - packed full of evidence based facts and evidence and expert commentary. I hope the BBC keeps it on iPlayer for many many years to come. I’m looking forward to using it in primary schools where I’ll be doing my PhD research.

It’s happening in the primary sector too - motivated and interested primary teachers tend to use literature as a means to do this.

Where is the poet now I wonder?

The fact that every synagogue needs and has security, protective vests and all, is horrendous. And something most people have no idea about.

Oooh! Excited to use this for
My PhD research!

All the native tribes of the Caribbean islands. Lots of South America - by Spanish and Portuguese.

I have an MA paper in Children’ Literature (you get a mention) which was a piece of Action Research looking at disrupting dominant Whiteness in predominantly White primary schools using children literature and critical literacy. I have just put in a PhD proposal looking to further this research

I would ask the parents why they are getting so emotional about irrefutable facts?

Trump, Musk and Tate all had abusive fathers.

You can actually see the moment when Sanchez thinks ‘are you fucking kidding me?’

Anything with Danny Dyer as a guest: Kathy Burke’s Where there’s a will there’s a Wake and also his ‘Off Menu’ episode.

I’ve just bought 2 pins. I used ‘Speak Up!’ For my MA research project and am hoping to start a PhD where I aim to use it again - your illustrations generated incredible ‘book talk’. I will wear my Rocket pin on my lanyard!
