Richie, many thanks for your boldness and honesty. Please do flag these points up in bright lights on your website. Unfortunately the situation in this country is still that academics are very chary about making such bold statements and it is largely left to independent scholars to keep banging away. There are still far too many romantics and deniers about who, for reasons of their own, will not accept the fakery. It is only relatively recently that the extent of Lloyd's fakery is being accepted.
