Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
You have persistently been told the now historical fact that WW1 was a war between Imperialist forces fighting over the colonial division of the world - no comment.

Ok.
My comment is it is not a fact, it is bollocks.
Germany invaded Belgium and France.
That is a fact.
Britain France and Belgium fought a defensive war of liberation.
That is a fact.

You have been given the long accepted reasons for British soldiers joining up - no comment

Ok.
My comment is that your reason is bollocks and an insult to brave young men, and is not "long accepted" except by people like you.
