Sadly, I got home far too late to go out and support my local folk club last night. So eventually got around to catching up on what I record to watch and never get around to.

QI were discussing the hate lessons the British Army set out doing till some MPs complained and got it stopped. A few interesting bits about the black propaganda we used too. All available in the public domain now. Especially talking up the invasion threat and mentioning that Germans rape nuns, etc. what was interesting was the reason for the hate lessons. The top brass had realised most soldiers were shooting to miss, as they were sickened by the thought of an innocent person killing another innocent person on the basis of being told to under threat of death by his own side. (Sources dear boy, sources. Look it up if you must.)



Keith. I must apologise. I thought this was a serious thread so had been responding accordingly. You should have said the object of the exercise was to talk bollocks.

Dear me, I am slow on the uptake sometimes.
