Ed Miliband lecturing the public on “having the bravery to have honest conversations about our history” is a masterclass in performative Westminster cowardice. His selective version of honesty carefully edits out the historical facts that undermine the establishment narrative of perpetual national guilt. An honest conversation would acknowledge that ordinary British taxpayers only finished paying off the monumental twenty million pound debt incurred under the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act in 2015. For nearly two centuries, working-class households financed the eradication of the trade through their taxes. An honest history would remember the Royal Navy West Africa Squadron, where thousands of British sailors died of yellow fever and combat while hunting down slaver vessels on the high seas, or the destitute Lancashire mill workers who chose starvation over touching slave-grown American cotton in 1862. None of these sacrifices ever feature in ministerial speeches because Whitehall is incapable of celebrating working-class moral backbone. The glaring irony is Miliband’s own parliamentary record. While he expects the British public to prostrate themselves over historic sins, his own bravery evaporates the second he is faced with the Crown. Throughout his career, Miliband has reliably backed the Sovereign Grant to safeguard royal finances and repeatedly taken to the dispatch box to shower the monarchy with reverent adulation. He praised the royal household for embodying a “quiet, dignified sense of duty” and hailed the Queen as “our nation’s constant” while formally offering his “loyalty and devotion” to the Crown. The institution he lavished with uncritical praise is the very entity that granted the royal monopoly charter to the Royal African Company under King Charles II and James Stuart. Yet rather than having the courage to scrutinise the historic wealth of the Crown itself, Miliband waved through royal funding settlements and led his benches in choruses of “God save the King.” Dumping retroactive imperial guilt onto ordinary Britons whose ancestors were toiling twelve hours a day in northern coal mines and cotton mills, while voting to preserve the financial privileges of the Crown, is classic SW1 hypocrisy. Preaching contrition at an international summit while passing the moral bill to your own taxpayers is not an act of courage; it is the cheapest form of virtue-signalling on offer.

Many love to talk and shame Haitians on all the unfinished construction in Haiti. Again, how do you finish projects when there's constant foreign invasion, extortion, and violence by the armed groups who been enabled by the criminal oligarchs, corrupt state, and U.S./Core Group?
