Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
Oy.   We are talking about the war that started in 1914. You wouldn't know about that.

Telly is a British thing. Yogi Bear invented it. There's another thread about telly. This thread is about Keith and his dogmatic approach to debate. Or at least from where I gingerly sit it is.

There was a time when it was about General Haig and his callous disregard for the wellbeing of those under his command. There was a time when it was about needless waste and slaughter of a generation and how we must be vigilant to ensure we never blindly follow those in charge again.

Mind you, from Keith's perspective it was about rattling your medals and pressing your blazer. Oh and promoting revisionist books on the culprits of war.
