History content creators working with Rylan talking about the witch trials.

I wonder if Rylan picked up on the similarities of a man using his position of power to use women as scapegoats for problems and Rylan using his platform on national TV to scapegoat migrants.

Gives me the ick to see social media history girlies do press with Rylan. They preach empathy and ethics in the portrayal of history + the representation of marginalised people and then do press with someone who recently said very awful things towards refugees. Empathy pending 70+ years post death??

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

The summer has been a busy time for the project researchers too: cataloguing, presenting at conferences, discussing future publications and recording a second series of the #songdetectorists!
Here we are at Northamptonshire Archives with @matthewbannister.bsky.social and Sarah Bridges

It's depressing to see well respected historians defend Rylan.
He repeated unsubstantiated and demonstrably untrue far-right talking points on national TV.
Then tried to take the moral highground and point the finger at people correctly calling him out.
This will just embolden them.
