I WAS delighted to hear that President Trump, when re-elected, is going to reset the education agenda in American schools with a pro-American curriculum for the children of America rather than allowing their kids to be brainwashed by left-wing Marxist-style claptrap. Perhaps one day, we in our country may also be allowed educate our kids about the wonderful history of Great Britain and its influence for good throughout the world in times gone by.

Unfortunately, even our state-owned media which we are obliged to pay for, the BBC, for some inexplicable reason, seems only too eager to denigrate Great Britain’s brilliant past achievements as though they were of little consequence in the greater scheme of things.

It is an attitude which gives credence to the usual left wing dislike of patriotism. This attitude has created a situation in which our children sadly no longer hear about how our forefathers made Britain into the great nation which we have today.

BORIS Johnson needs to dig his heels in and not let the EU walk all over us. The EU has been playing with the rules for years.
