I really do think we've finished here - don't you.
Soldiers are liars, historians are liars - Spectator reviewers are liars
Have you gone completely insane in your efforts to defend your lords and masters?
It's over Keith llie down - unless you can prove the Spectator review is a leftie plot

Sorry Cookie - lost me there
Perhaps you could explain your rather aggressive and bullying posting (nothing new there)?
Would you also like to explain the Spectator review for your friend?
"This apparent "hard-on" you've got for Max Hastings"
Not mine Cookiue - he's Keith's friend and both of you displayed your own "hard -on's" supporting him
I use him here to explain the dangers of doing so without reading what he has to say first.
As far as I am concerned, he is a right wing tabloid journalist who learned his trade in a fascist supporting bumwipe of a newspaper - one of your own, in fact.
You explain your feet in mouths for using him as a witness to your anachchronistic jingoism
"Dodgy' battalions in the Ypres Salient, wholesale abandonment of weapons and positions, pusillanimous leadership, a reluctant showing at the Marne, a navy that couldn't fire, politicians who knew nothing of war, it all makes for chastening reading."
Take it up with the author - nuffin' to do with me, it was a direct quote from the review.
I have litle doubt that you know volumes more than he does - or anybody else, judging by your permanent contemptuous tone
PLEASE, PLEASE TELL US THAT THE SPECTATOR REVIEWER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT - NOW THAT REALLY WOULD MAKE MY DAY - MY MONTH, IN FACT!!
Amazing how much you can learn when you have a break from cooking fry-ups!!
I think it's time you both had a bit of a lie down, don't you?
