In a world that wants you ashamed of where you come from, we're uncovering the hidden history that proves ordinary British people have always been the real power.
You learned about kings, queens, and empire. What you didn't learn: ordinary people fought for every right you take for granted.
Trial by jury. Workers' rights. The abolition of slavery. These didn't come from the powerful — they came from people like you.
The primary sources are there. The treaties, the court records, the letters. We're finding them, and sharing them with you.
A bastion of pride in a sea of information designed to make you ashamed.
67 stories backed by primary sources. Short videos that tell you what they left out of the curriculum.

I'm one person with two jobs, a laptop, and access to the National Archives. Every video is properly researched — primary sources, verified claims, real history. No sponsors. No agenda except reminding you who's really been in charge all along.
But learning history is just the start. We're building The Common Council — a community-funded movement where British citizens decide what gets built, funded, and protected in their communities. Your support today helps make that vision real.
