Your point on the daily Mail
The pape totally supported the war effort and criticised that the Government had not prepared for war earlier, its only other 'clash' with the government was in making public the story that Germans were rendering down corpses of the enemy - such information was thought likely to disturb the troops
The Government attempted to take total control of the press but instead put it in the hands of the military - control by proxy.
The ramblings of Tommy Tin Soldier were all covered in last night's programme - any problems - write to the BBC (or Keith's historian, who is a leading advisor)
I suppose this is the nearest you pair of morons are going to get to discussing the devestating attack on the handling of the war in nights programme
By the wway Chockie - 'twas the government aent who identified the two gaoled women as Suffragettes - get someone to read the posting if you can't manage it yourself
