"Your opinion counts for nothing."
Neither is yours Keith
You have no overall backing for anything you have claimed - not one single 'witness' you have produced backs the overall case you are all demanding we disprove - not one.
Not even Max Hastings, the tabloid journalist, makes the case you are making - real historians have described his analysis of the causes of World War One as "weak" - but then again, he is only a tabloid journalist.
I have given you a preview of my skip through your list of witnesses - the others appear to produce exactly the same results - no comfort from any of them I'm afraid
You have built your entire case on sand - unless, of course, you'd like to show me something I've overlooked - won't hold my breath.
You have not even acknowledged my request for proof of your "all historians" claim, let along produced proof of your outrageously stupid statement - unless, of course, you'd like to show me something I've overlooked - won't hold my breath.
One again, just like your "all male Pakistanis" and Irish Famine arguments, you have produced nothing yourself, have hidden behind a team of "experts" and invented an entire scenario based on cut-'n-pastes which you have carefully extracted and taken out of context.
Smoke and mirrors that don't stand up under careful, or even casual scrutiny
All the out-of-context isolated hastily assembled quotes you produce do not in any way back up your all-embracing and nearly a century out-of-date claims - you will have to read a book in order to do that, and quite honestly, I can't see that happening in the near future - can you - honestly (both (reading and being honest) foreign concepts with you apparently?
As I said earlier, "for you, the war is over Tommy", but then again, you never really left the home front, did you?
Dismiss, Private A.
