"Just another of your made up fantasies."
Your an arsehole Keith
You said yourself that all countries maintain a control on what is said during wars.
The British Government attempted to impose total control on what was made public by law, abandoned the idea and put information control in the hands of the military - everything that published had their blessing.
Coupled with the fact that the popular press in its entirety supported the war and imposed a strict self-censorship of what was published, the public got to know only what the Government wanted them to know - all on record if you ever bothered to read a book.
Your Daily Mail red-herring is exactly as I described - go and read it up.
This evasive nonsense reall has gone far enough as far as I'm concerned.
You have presented an old Empire Days analysis of the war pontificating on and denying many of its aspects that are established fact.
You have surrounded yourself with a team of mythical historical fairies who have never commented on, let alone supported the neanderthal views you have put forward.
You have lied about doing so and have retreated to three point which you claim to be the only things you put forward.
Whenever you are stymied, you scurry behind your phantom friends - this is now the only argument you ever have on all subjects you involve yourself in - "they said it first, I'm only the messenger" - utter and transparent bollocks.
You have been presented with three excellent programmes on te war - each of them cutting the legs from under your case, and have the temerity to claim they support your case.
You have no support - you never had - your war-gaming, gun-nut friend can ionly be considered a liability - he'll be showing us his gun next - he's done that before!!
Yo are a meglomanic nut who has openly declared himself to be "infallible"   
The war has been shown to have been little more than a bloody fight between acquisitive powerful Empires - the fact that their leaders were related makes it a family squabble using the youth of Europe as pawns in their bloody game.
Whoever started it (no argument there) it was ill-conceived, prematurely entered into and badly executed (execution being the operative word as afar as the millions of young men who were sacrificed).
Those who sent those lads to war lied to them to get them to join up, and when that ceased to work, gave them no alternative but to go.
At home, as far as the better-off were concerned, life went on as normal.
The families of those who fought were exploited - many of them became homeless because of that exploitation.
On the front, military advances were planned on calculations of how many lives could be sacrificed.
Dedicated soldiers, some decorated war-heroes who became disillusioned were punished for expressing their views - Sassoon was declared mad by the military for voicing what is now an accepted fact.
You have referred to him and others who were there as "liars" - you have challenged accepted history of the entire war on the basis of a few cut-'n-pastes on a handful of specific subjects - you have never once given anything from your own claimed "lifelong study" - not once.
You appear never to have read a book - on the war - on anything - all cut-'n-pastes - Ireland, Palestine, Travellers, British Fascism, Syria, Islamic "implants"... all cut-'n-pastes.
You appear not even to have watched the tree programmes - everything you have put out seems to have come from the BBC handout "Paxman to camera"   
"Infallible my arseum"
All any of us has got from our indulging you in your self-obsession is the satisfaction of knowing that nobody takes you seriously nor ever will again after your recent performances.
