Give our history a proper perspective
Llanelli Star
|February 25, 2026
I WAS tempted in university to study history, but I found there was no future in it.
Since then I realised our approach to history and heritage is fatally flawed. As one involved in writing about local heritage I confess I am sometimes part of the deception, despite not being at all fazed when needing to ‘spoil a good story by telling the truth’.Yet the obsession in history with the rich, powerful and famous is a noxious cloud which hangs over and sometimes obscures the history of the non-elite and the impact of their legacy.

Right views not up for debate on free speech
UNIVERSITIES have always been regarded as beacons of innovation, research, high-level skills and engines of cutting-edge thinking. So when populist leaders and wannabe tyrants consult the online 'How To Be a Dictator' manual, they usually find university-bashing high on the list.
