Anyone reckon this thread will be over by Christmas?

Wonderful that Keith A. hole of Hertford accuses me of "political feelings." Politicians are people who cling onto a publication and throw it in peoples's faces as the oracle to justify their shaky position.

Remind you of anyone?

In 1915, over 2000 soldiers had their lives extended by a week because the government wanted a show of force for the newspapers to report, needing a load of soldiers to march down The Mall on Empire Day to lift spirits.

I've got a picture of my old Mum on an Empire Day picnic her Sunday School arranged. Naw, we never conditioned people, never indulged in propaganda, never invented the word jingoism......

But..

Did we do justice to a whole generation of impressionable men and their families?

Discuss.

Yes Keith, we've heard your borrowed view. Either assess your pretty books or accept you don't seem to represent the consensus here.
