In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Cambridge historian Professor Robert Tombs to discuss the rewriting of British history, the rise of woke ideology in our schools and universities, and whether Britain is losing its national identity. We explore how institutions like Cambridge University, the National Trust and Britain's leading museums have embraced decolonisation, why the British Empire is increasingly portrayed as a force for evil, and the growing influence of left-wing ideology on education. Robert challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding slavery, colonialism and Winston Churchill, including controversial claims about his responsibility for the Bengal famine. We also discuss the Crusades, the Holocaust, mass immigration and the difficulties of teaching a shared national history in an increasingly divided society. Finally, we confront perhaps the most important question of all: what does it mean to be British, and can a country survive without a common identity?
