Conservative commentator Anna McGovern added: “BBC’s children show Horrible Histories has released a song called Been Here From The Start which is about black people always being in Britain. BBC is rewriting history by teaching children that the original Britons were black.”
She added: “Facts the BBC got wrong: – It says that Septimius Severus was black.
“That’s false. – It says that the Aurelian moors were black.
“That’s false. – It says that Western Hunter Gatherers, the original people of Britain, were black. That’s false. It’s time to defund the BBC.”

Critics have also pointed out that whilst black people have resided in the United Kingdom in the last 2000 years it is unfair to imply medieval or early modern Britain was diverse.
Around 20,000 black people lived in the United Kingdom in the 18th century.
The overall population started at around five million in 1700 and reached nearly nine million in 1801.
Depending on the period of the 18th century, the figure is either one-in-250 or one-in-450.
