HYPOCRISY STORM The Guardian facing calls to ‘shut down’ over founder’s use of slaves and siding against Lincoln in US Civil War
Alexander Brown 15 Jun 2020, 16:26 Updated: 16 Jun 2020, 10:00

THE GUARDIAN is facing calls to “shut down” for hypocrisy after backing BLM protests when it branded Abraham Lincoln “abhorrent” in the US Civil War.

Originally called the Manchester Guardian, the paper was founded in 1821 by John Edward Taylor using profits from a cotton plantation that used slaves.

After his death in 1844, the paper is said to have then demanded Manchester’s cotton workers be forced back into work.

Now with a growing backlash against statues linked to slavery and racism, hundreds have signed a petition taking aim at the Guardian's history.

This petition to shut the paper down has been organised by novelist Tony Parsons, who tweeted: “Shameful links to slave-owning Confederate south. Built on the profits of cotton fields. Shut down The Guardian Newspaper.”

During the US Civil War the paper had sided with the southern Confederates against President Lincoln who wanted to abolish slavery.

A leader piece said: “It was an evil day both for America and the world when he was chosen President of the United States.”

On January 2, 1863, it accused Lincoln of having “no desire to abolish slavery except as a means of extrication from the difficulties of government”.

A year and a half later it claimed: “Nor is Mr Lincoln's re-election by fraud, violence, and intimidation rendered a matter of comparatively small importance solely by the fact that it reveals nothing with respect to the real wishes and thoughts of the majority of his fellow countrymen.”

Bristol was funded by the slaver whose statue was chucked in the creek. Bristol will be torn down. John Edward Taylor  founded the Guardian but has no statue.  Any statues of tailors are in danger. The Guardian has no statue but the Royal Horse Guards are wobbly.  Horses also.

The Guardian goes in the creek.
"The contracts in Sydney included a 5 or 6 year term of indenture with food, clothing, pay and shelter to be provided, but many absconded, due to reasons of these conditions not being met. The coolies were also subject to assault, slavery, and kidnap.

Government enquiries delayed further coolie importation, but in 1842 a number of colonists, including William Wentworth and Gordon Sandeman, formed an Association to Import Coolies to pressure the colonial government into allowing further intakes. The following year, Major G.F. Davidson imported 30 Indian coolies into Melbourne, and in 1844 Sandeman and Phillip Freil organised a shipment of 30 Indian coolies, most of whom were sent to work on their properties in the Lockyer Valley Qld.  Wentworth and Robert Towns arranged a shipment of 56 Indian coolies who arrived in a state of starvation in 1846.These coolies went either to labour on Wentworth's pastoral properties such as Burburgate on the Namoi River or worked as servants at his Vaucluse House mansion. Some were leased out to Helenus Scott's Glendon property in the Hunter Valley. Many of these coolies were subject to beatings, were left unpaid, unfed or unclothed, and some died of exposure or by attacks. Those who protested their condition as breach of contract were often imprisoned."

NSW is being closed. Qld will be sold off to pay for British compensation to slave owners.

I don't know, I think the Guardian made a pretty bad call in the day... Seems like they should shut down.

John Walter worked for Lloyd's , predominantly general insurance and reinsurance, although a small number of syndicates write term life assurance. The market has its roots in marine insurance (slave trade). He started the Times of London, 1 January 1788, now owned by Mr Rupert Murdoch , the Australian slave-insurance profiteer.

Chimmy is being guarded over the tempestuous blasphemy and sacrilege occurring over his beloved Socialist Bible the Guardian.

Socialists are not known for their ability to argue effectively.

Maybe something to do with the GetUp! SingSong Revivalist Indoctrination Sessions where malleable minds become like butter.

Viva Albo!!!

Yale University was named after its benefactor, Elihu Yale who was the overseeing the slave trade of the East India Company in Madras.

Will Yale University change its name?




Meanwhile At Cambridge University, this mother is promoted to full professorship:

Her main teaching and research interests are in colonial and postcolonial literature and theory, gender and feminism, Marxism and critical race studies.


Of course.

Yale University will be named "Terauchi" in honour of the Japanese commander of the Burma Railway.
Count Hisaichi Terauchi (寺内 寿一, Terauchi Hisaichi, 8 August 1879 – 12 June 1946) was a Gensui (or Field Marshal) in the Imperial Japanese Army.

He enslaved the Australian Army and will have a statue to replace Queen Victoria in Sydney , who was a woman and cranky old tart.
