THIS is cultural impact. No yapping, no forced narratives, no desperate attempts to manufacture one. You donβt have to announce it. People feel it.

The more I think about the Russell Brand case, the more it stinks to high heaven.

A lot of us had tears in our eyes when we watched the finale to the brilliant historical sitcom, Blackadder. For me it has the same effect today, and so it should.
Lest we forget.

The youngest British soldier of WW1 was just 12 years old.
His name was Sidney Lewis, a boy from London who ran away from home in August 1915 without telling his parents.
His parents had absolutely no idea where their young son had disappeared to, until a soldier back from the front lines on leave mentioned seeing him in France.
Sidney easily tricked army recruiters who were more than happy to turn a blind eye to underage boys eager to fight.
By the time he was 13, he was operating heavy machine guns in the 106th Machine Gun Company right in the thick of the Battle of the Somme.
He survived six weeks of hell in the Battle of Delville Wood, enduring some of the most horrific casualties of the entire war.
Desperate to save her child, his mother tracked down his military unit and sent a frantic letter to the War Office demanding his release, attaching his birth certificate as absolute proof.
The army had no choice but to discharge him and send him home to his family.
It wasn't until 2013 that historians and the Imperial War Museum officially authenticated his record, confirming that a 12 year-old boy truly braved the worst of the Great War.
Lest we forget.

Russell Brand has always been a sexual deviant; of that thereβs no question.
What concerns me is this: we can convict someone with no physical evidence and sentence them to a likely hefty prison stint- fine. But during the Pakistani grooming scandal, an aborted foetus from a 14-year-old girl matched the DNA of an older Pakistani man who was not convicted.
Iβm not upset Brand was convicted; Iβm upset that the police, courts and judges treat perpetrators differently.

This is Lizzie van Zyl. A Boer girl from South Africa. She died in a British concentration camp in South Africa. 1901. She was seven years old.
Not Nazi Germany. Britain. Forty years before Auschwitz.
26,000 Boer women and children died in these camps. Including roughly 18 000 Africans that were displaced after 40 000 Boer farms were burned, as they were a threat to the British supply line.
Most British today don't even know much about this.
History should be remembered, not relived. Learn from all of it. Not just the parts that suit narratives.
