The Problem
Britain has one of the richest histories of ordinary people standing up to power in the world. Trial by jury. The presumption of innocence. The abolition of slavery. Workers' rights. Universal suffrage. None of these came from kings or queens — they came from us.
But you wouldn't know it from the curriculum. These stories have been buried, hidden, forgotten. Not by accident — by design. The establishment has always preferred a version of history where change comes from above, where the people are spectators, not protagonists.
The Mission
proudofus.co.uk exists for one reason: to uncover and share the stories they left out. Stories of rebellions, uprisings, and movements that shaped the rights we take for granted today.
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 clickbait, no exaggeration.
There are no sponsors. No advertisers. No political parties funding this. Just one agenda: reminding you who's really been in charge all along.
What We Stand For
Truth Over Comfort
History isn't always pretty. We tell it like it happened — the triumphs and the tragedies, the heroes and the villains.
Sources Matter
Every claim is backed by primary sources. No hearsay, no myths, no exaggeration. Just the documented truth.
Free For Everyone
This history belongs to all of us. Every video is free, forever. No paywalls, no subscriptions required to learn.
Independent
No sponsors means no one can influence what stories we tell. Funded by the community, accountable to the community.
Where Your Support Goes
Every penny from supporters goes directly into making more content and building a bigger platform for these stories. Here's the breakdown:
Better Video Quality
Upgraded equipment, professional editing software, and better graphics. Higher production value means the stories hit harder and reach more people.
Daily Content
Right now this is squeezed between two jobs. Your support buys time — the goal is to produce content every single day, not just when I can find a spare evening.
Long-Form Content
40-second clips are just the beginning. The plan: deep-dive documentaries, full-length episodes, and eventually a proper series exploring these stories in the detail they deserve.
Reach More People
Every penny helps us grow the audience. More viewers, more subscribers, more people learning the history they were never taught. That's the whole point.
The Vision
Right now, this is one person with a laptop. But the vision is bigger.
Imagine a fully searchable archive of Britain's hidden history. A community of thousands who know their real heritage. Educational resources for schools who want to teach the full picture. Documentaries, podcasts, books — all telling the stories that have been suppressed for centuries.
That's where we're going. Every supporter, every share, every view brings us closer.
