In memory of Ross Broadstock, Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett, may they all Rest in Power.
Throughout history, humanity has been plagued by a persistent tendency to believe in the righteousness of their own actions and beliefs, only to later discover the fallibility of their judgments.
This phenomenon, where individuals and societies confidently assert their correctness despite evidence to the contrary, is a recurring theme in the annals of history.
From political decisions to scientific theories, humans have consistently demonstrated a propensity to cling to their convictions even when faced with overwhelming evidence that proves them wrong.
The Illusion of Certainty…
One of the primary reasons why people often believe they are right, despite historical evidence suggesting otherwise, is the illusion of certainty. Human beings have an inherent desire for stability and predictability, leading them to construct narratives that provide a sense of security and control. This psychological need for certainty can blind individuals to alternative perspectives and prevent them from acknowledging the possibility of error.
Confirmation Bias and Cognitive Dissonance..
Confirmation bias, the tendency to seek out information that supports pre-existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence, further reinforces the illusion of being right. When confronted with information that challenges their worldview, individuals may experience cognitive dissonance – a state of mental discomfort caused by holding conflicting beliefs. To alleviate this discomfort, people often resort to rationalization and selective interpretation of facts, thereby perpetuating their mistaken convictions.
Lessons from History…
History is replete with examples of individuals and societies steadfastly clinging to erroneous beliefs despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. From the geocentric model of the universe to the certainty Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, humanity's track record of being wrong is undeniable. However, it is essential to recognize that acknowledging past mistakes is not a sign of weakness but a testament to our capacity for growth and learning.
Embracing Humility and Open-Mindedness…
To break free from the cycle of misguided certainty, it is crucial for individuals to cultivate humility and open-mindedness. By acknowledging the limitations of our knowledge and being receptive to new information and perspectives, we can guard against the pitfalls of dogmatism and intellectual rigidity. Embracing uncertainty as an opportunity for growth rather than a threat to our ego allows us to navigate the complexities of history with greater wisdom and insight.
In conclusion, the pervasive belief in one's own rightness despite historical evidence to the contrary is a testament to the fallibility of human judgment. By understanding the psychological mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon and embracing humility and open-mindedness, we can strive towards a more nuanced understanding of history and cultivate a greater capacity for learning from our past mistakes.
Only by recognizing our propensity for error can we hope to transcend our limitations and forge a more enlightened path forward.
Speculation is rife that foul play was involved with the fatal house fire that left King Arthur historian Baram Blackett dead at 64 years old.

The first to ring the alarm bells was actor James Langford, who said in no uncertain terms, “Anyone interested in researching King Arthur, don’t touch it with a barge pole, it's just not worth it.”

Baram (Tony) Blackett, is the last of the world’s leading King Arthur researchers to have died in the last 14 months.
What do we know?

| Ross Broadstock (56) - Alan Wilson (91) - Baram Blackett (64) |
Ross Broadstock, aged 56, died from natural causes, (Ruptured Aortal Aneurysm,) on Monday 17 October 2022, leaving Britain's Hidden History community, his wife and three teenage boys in shock and disbelief.
Alan Wilson, the elder of the three, died from natural causes on 30 August 2023, aged 91.
The tragic news of Baram Blackett’s death was reported in the Newcastle Chronicle Live:
“Two people have died in separate house fires in the last 24 hours, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed.
The two separate fires took place overnight in Newcastle and Sunderland. The first emergency call was received by TWFRS's Fire Control team last night (Thursday December 14) at 11.20pm, with a report of a house fire on Benwell Lane in Newcastle.
Three fire engines were dispatched to the scene, with a further three and an Aerial Ladder Platform dispatched as the incident developed. Firefighters entered the building and located a 64-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.”
And relayed to the Britain’s Hidden History community, by it’s spokesman David Moseley:
“With a heavy heart it is now my sad duty to let our members and the fans and supporters of the work of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett know that Anthony 'Baram' Blackett died in a fire at the house that Alan and Tony shared in Newcastle, last week.
We would like to ask everyone to respect the Blackett family's feelings at this most difficult and harrowing time and not to speculate upon the causes of the fire here.”
While certain members of the Britain’s Hidden History community initially feared vital research was lost in the fire, David Moseley has assured the community that their works are safe and in good hands.
“Out of respect for the family's feelings so soon after this tragic incident it is inappropriate to speculate on the material loss.
Let us just remind ourselves that the published works are 'out there'.
Some of Alan and Tony's closest and loyal supporters have been entrusted with a great deal of unpublished research.
We will not be drawn on revealing personal details in the public domain.”
It's all Speculation.
“Three Welsh King Arthur researchers are now dead within 14 months. Now Baram Blackett died in the fire!” said Monika Escobar on Facebook, a prominent King Arthur researcher from Germany.
To which I replied, “Are you implying foul play?”
“What do you mean, Matt? Conspiracy? Well, either that or maybe he took drugs and, in his delirium, forgot to put out his cigarette when he fell asleep? We do not know it.”
The legend of King Arthur is alive and kicking in the forthcoming Netflix adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles depicting his interpretation of King Arthur.
Following on from the success of The Last Kingdom series, Netflix is taking the plunge, where so many film studios have followed.
The last big Hollywood production of a King Arthur movie was "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword," directed by Guy Ritchie and released in 2017. The film was originally meant to be the first in a six-film franchise, but the project was eventually dropped by Warner Bros. due to concerns about the profitability of the actors.
Taking on the mantle of King Arthur next are ITVX, adapting Cornwell’s Warlord Chronicles for the small screen.
Consisting of Enemy of the God, Excalibur and The Winter King making up the chronicles, Cornwell brings a more gritty, realistic and authenticity to the story, which other productions of King Arthur fail to deliver.

| Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell |
While no one disputes Cornwell’s flair for bringing ancient British history to life, nothing is better than the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
New research by the unsung heroes of ancient British history Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett, tell a very different story to the one Hollywood has peddled for decades, and which Cornwell tells in his Warlord Chronicles.
According to the ancient Khrumry records, (still available to read today from the archives of Cardiff Library), the real King Arthur didn’t need to pull a sword from a stone to become King, he was born into a Royal Dynasty leading back to the Holy family, on Christmas Day 503AD in Glamorgan, South Wales, son of King Meurig (Maurice) and grandson to the then Pendragon King Tewdrig (Theoderic).
Revealing a true life story far superior to any Hollywood fantasy, and anything Cornwell can imagine, the real life story of King Arthur blows all fantasy away.
Scholars, historians and web search engines will confidentially tell you that the story of King Arthur remains a mystery and open to interpretation.
Nothing could be further from the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
For the first time in nearly 1,500 years, the true terrible story of the life and times of King Arthur II, is coming to light.
The facts paint a very different story to the French romantic rubbish told by Hollywood.
The legends of King Arthur have been evolving for nearly a millennium, and countless authors have used his legends to explore their own anxieties, fears, and hopes. Some scholars argue that Arthur was originally a fictional hero of folklore or even a half-forgotten Celtic deity.
For centuries the true story of King Arthur remained untold, until now!
A growing number of people are coming together under the banner of King Arthur, avid followers of the historical research of Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett.
While Cornwell carries on the long tradition of mis-telling the true story of King Arthur, moves are abreast in Brighton, destined to change the rules, and for the first time in history, finally tell the true story of King Arthur.
Bringing Hollywood to Brighton, Matt Taylor, maverick politician, writer and movie maker, has started the ball rolling on the trilogy of King Arthur movies set to rule them all.
Working with a growing team of people, Taylor is quickly building a team to start filming on the true story of King Arthur, The War King - King Arthur II.
While some films can take up to ten years in pre-production, Taylor is hoping that an investment from the Saudi Investment Fund, as part of his £20 Billion vision for Brighton in the 22nd Century, will ensure The King Arthur War King Trilogy is filmed sooner rather than later.

This match is significant not only because of the historical opportunity to reach the FA Cup final, but also because of the values that Lewes FC upholds.
Lewes FC is a football club that is breaking barriers and setting new standards for equality in football. They are the only club in the world that pays their female players the same as their male counterparts. This landmark move is a testament to the club's commitment to gender equality, and their efforts to create a level playing field for all.
However, it is important to acknowledge that women's football has not always been given the recognition it deserves. In fact, the Football Association (FA) banned women's football in 1921, citing the sport as "unsuitable for females." This ban remained in place until 1960, severely hindering the growth and development of women's football in the UK.
Despite this ban, women's football in the UK has a rich history. In the early 20th century, women's football matches attracted crowds of up to 50,000 people. Players such as Lily Parr, who scored over 900 goals in her career, became household names and inspired future generations of female footballers.
Today's game between Lewes ladies and Manchester United ladies is a testament to the progress that has been made in women's football, and the journey that still lies ahead. By paying their players equally, Lewes FC is leading the way and setting an example for other clubs to follow.
Interestingly, Lewes has also made headlines for a different reason in recent years. The town is home to a statue of two lesbian pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, which stands proudly at the Lewes Drippin Pan. The statue celebrates the town's history as a hub for LGBTQ+ culture, and serves as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and acceptance in all areas of life.
In conclusion, today's FA football game between Lewes ladies and Manchester United ladies was not only a thrilling display of skill and talent, but also a powerful reminder of the importance of equality and inclusivity in football. With clubs like Lewes leading the way, we can only hope that the future of women's football will be brighter than ever before.
