#Empire is a brilliant series by #DavidOlusoga
Includes many stories, told very eloquently, that we should, and usually don’t, know about the British Empire.
A hard watch at times but essential viewing.

#BBC series #Empire with historian Mr #DavidOlusoga is well worth your time. Episode 3 talks of the post-war years, looking at the skills shortage for rebuilding the shattered cities and infrastructure. There was greatly encouraged emigration to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The political 1/5
