I do dot deny the findings of all those historians.
I accept them.
Do you?


Yes I do. I have never disputed any of their findings. I cannot because I do not know enough about it. Something I have stated time and time again. Which is why, I suppose, instead of addressing my points you imply that I do dispute them and cast erroneous aspersions on my character.

So, let us get back to the point. If the popular opinion in Britain was that we were fighting a just war, which I have never disputed, how was public opinion manipulated in such a way that both us and our our European neigbours believed the same thing and yet fought to the death about it? Does it not make you wonder about popular opinion and how it can be shaped? How it is still being shaped today, as was pointed out earlier.

And are you ever going to give us any evidence of my having said that I know more about anything than anyone on here? Or are you just going to continue on that track whenever you feel threatened?
