Subject: RE: BS: I am not an historian but........
Jim, I have dismissed out of date historians because the consensus is recent (20 years). There used to be a few historians pushing those old myths, but now there are none.
Because a tabloid Newspaper describes someone as a historian doesn't make him one.
Agree, but BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, Independent,.... If I accepted that Hastings was not an historian, it would still be true that all historians agree my three points.
I suggest you go back and gather your evidence of a consensus on the basis of what you have already claimed and not compound your idiocy by adding to it
My listed historians have all been quoted agreeing one or more of my points, and many like Macmillan all three. There are none who challenge any of them.
