WATCH: Leo Kearse blasts 'woke' children's book as 'flat Earth insanity'

News, now Gary for this one, because a children's book has claimed that the ancient inhabitants

of Scotland, Scotland, were black. Yes, the illustrated book, which aims to make Scottish

history accessible to children as young as four, will claim that Scotland has always been, quote

multicultural and diverse. Let's now speak with the comedian and the GV News contributor

Leo Curse. Leo, welcome to the show. This is not only McWoke, it's a McJoke

Oh, yes. It's a nonsense. It's an absolute nonsense. I mean, this just shows how our institutions, in this case, our education system, have been captured by woke ideologues, basically communists, who want to rewrite history to make it fit with their current modern agenda, which is, of course, remaking the West as this sort of multiracial, multiethnic soup

importing the entirety of the Horn of Africa to Europe and to Britain to somehow improve it

And this just shows you can't trust education anymore. You can't trust books anymore

The only history books you can trust are ones that were written before about 20 years ago

And the only historians you can trust are the ones who've been accused of bigotry

because anyone else might be lying so they don't get accused of bigotry

They might be lying to fit in with the current progressive dogma

And when I say progressive, it's obviously not actually progressive. It's progressive in the same terms

that a doctor would tell you a disease is progressing. It not actually progressing in the sense of being good for society Well Leo Gurs let take a little look at one of the pictures from this book Now it called Carved in Stone a storyteller guide to the pits

The pits, of course, were the ancient Highlanders. Let's get a picture on screen now

You can see it's a wonderful, diverse mishmash of people there, Leo

It looks like one of the black Highlanders there is eye-gouging one of the ancient ginger Highlanders

Whoops, sorry, that's me being gingerous. But let's get to the reality, Leo Kurs

If you look into the archaeological evidence, the actual truth of Scotland, which I did because I'm sad

there is no evidence whatsoever of anybody of African origin being in Scotland until the 13th century

And that's when there was isotope ysis of a skeleton found a North African

But this was centuries after this children's book is set. This is a complete artistic reinvention of history

It's a fantasy. It's a lie. Yeah, this is flat-earth-level insanity. You know, this is completely scientifically inaccurate

It's not even like London. I mean, I know, you know, in medieval settings, Robin Hood or whatever, they insert black characters in

There were some black people in London because it was a major trade route

The Romans brought some black people or people from North Africa or whatever

But Scotland, I mean, none of them went up to Scotland. They were probably cold enough in Kent

never mind exposing them to Aberdeen. So yeah, I mean, I'm about as black as a Scotsman you'd get

It's obviously completely fraudulent
