"representative of the First World War with regard to the British Government"
He described the the Prime minister of the day as attempting to smear one of his Generals in order to cover up his own cock-ups - is that good leadership in wartime?
What it does, in fact, is paint a picture of World War One that is far nearer 'Oh What a Lovely War' and 'Blackadder' than anybody else here
He has invented his historians and refuses to respond to the claims made by the Paxman programmes which means he is no longer claiming that they back his case (which has now changed from "everything was good" to three items - he always does this)
He and you have described the soldiers as attention seeking liars, which is as low as it gets
Between you, you present a laurel and Hardy image - you the pompous oaf, he the idiot hanger on.
You, at least, appear to be interested enough to have read up on the subject, which would make you quite interesting to debate with if it wasn't for your belligerent (and somewhat defensive) arrogance and your tendency to smear dead relatives
He has made himself a predictable figure of fun.
Fine representatives of the Good Ol' Empire days, in fact
