Simon Webb - History Debunked: Why the Popular View of History is Not Necessarily the Correct One
Historian and author, Simon Webb joins us this episode.
Simon runs a very popular YouTube channel with over 170k subscribers called ‘History Debunked’ which seeks to shine a light on areas of history that have been forgotten, ignored and altered.
In short bite sized videos, he helps the viewer understand the truth about our past and also connects it to current political discourse.
The destruction and rewriting of our history is a danger to our very existence as a society and our culture, this episode is fascinating, educational and essential viewing for all.
Simon Webb is a historian and the author of many non-fiction books, ranging from academic works on education to social and popular history.
He has also written dozens of westerns under both his own name and a variety of pseudonyms.
Simon works as a consultant on the subjects of historical matters and capital punishment to television companies and filmmakers and also writes for various magazines and newspapers, including the Times educational Supplement, Daily Telegraph and The Guardian.
Simon has a particular interest in, and extensive knowledge of; terrorism in Victorian and Edwardian Britain, capital punishment and home education.
About the ‘History Debunked’ channel on YouTube...
‘For all too many people, history consists of no more than a set of familiar and well-worn stories such as the incompetence of First World War British generals, the heroic struggle of the suffragettes and the saintly devotion to duty of Florence Nightingale. We seldom stop to ask ourselves if Florence Nightingale actually saved any lives or whether the suffragettes hindered or helped women to gain the vote. In this channel, Simon Webb, author of many books of popular history, examines some of our favourite historical characters and incidents, looking at the truth behind the myths. We learn, for example, that Magna Carta has nothing to do with habeus corpus or the so-called 'British Values' and that slavers from Africa were raiding England at least half a century before the English began taking slaves from Africa. This channel is for anybody who has ever questioned the stories which they learned during history lessons at school.’
