Another own goal I'm afraid Lofty

Errr, teribums, this was exactly what I was pointing out. It seems that as well as losing the ability to reason you have now also lost the ability to read. You mentioned quoting the whole thing, above, which I will come to later but the whole sentence you partially pasted was What I will say, in fairness as I keep saying it to Keith, it is up to the person making the claim to substantiate it, not up to others to disprove it. That means that everyone as well as Keith needed to substantiate claims. No home goal at all. Just a home truth.

Right - On to what you call a partial quote. The part I quoted changes not one jot with the addition of the rest of it. She still says they were not all incompetents and cowards. Why would someone interested in accurately recording the events of the past use the phrase 'not all' instead of 'none of them' if she did not mean that some of them were?

I see you are now batting fish as well as howling at goals. Are you sure English is your first language? If you need some private tuition I can recommend a personal tutor in Hertford who I believe speaks your language.
