i wrote this on the eve of the referendum how right i was .

Brexit, Orlando, Islamic state, Russian football thugs and English football fans .

Its all relative to the environment that culture produce to raise their children.
First
Brexit .the British vote on exiting the European Union.
A few days to go and every one is scared that the British public may vote to leave and cripple their economy and possible drag the European and world economy down with it.
Much of the reason for the British public voting to leave will probable rest with the desecration of the British education system by the last Tory government under Mrs Thatcher. The restriction on teaching socialist history of the suffragettes and the trade union movement and the clause 28 restriction on the work and struggles of the gay liberation movement, black power and the anti Vietnam struggle why many British 19 year old men refused to be drafted and lost dual nationality and in many cases lost their fathers as they could no longer visit them in the US and some fathers even rejected them . A struggle I was very involved with in my late teens as well as gay liberation. As many of my friends had gi dads from the war and just after.
Alongside this in my school history we where aware of the struggle to join the european union as it was part of what we where taught in our social history that Winston Churchill had wanted to have Britain at the center of Europe and the union was in some large part his idea a united states of Europe. was just what he envisaged.  
This was stopped by General De Gaul as the leader of France in cooperation with the United states who did not want a rival state in Europe. Equally supported by the Russians who also did not want a strong united Europe
With all this social history no longer taught after 1997 in secondary schools here in Britain it is no wonder that now we do not see our selves as european but as the residual citizens of the  British Empire. With a real chance that we will vote to come out of the union next week.
 In the years since Britain Joined the European Union it should have been part of the school curriculum and classes in at least one other european language should have been compulsory at all levels of education. and citizen ship classes should have been angled towards how to be a good British Subject  because that is  what we are subjects of the Queen   and Citizen of the European Union. we are first a subject of the crown and secondly a citizen of Europe. For how much longer remains to be seen.
