Subject: RE: History and mythology of WW1
"someone who twists" Plenty of examples here
"The bulk of the volunteers in 1914/1915 came from the middle-classes"
In fact the the overwhelming majority of those who enlisted came from the labouring classes
"The school that suffered the highest mortality rate among its former pupils was ETON"
Responded to already and ignored, by you too, it would seem.
'Liverpudlians were living off the pig's back at the outbreak of WW1' (to paraphrase)
Again, responded to at length and described as "badly written" (the official document containing the facts and figures presumably) and so, unworthy of a reply!!
Plenty more examples were those came from - unfortunately, pretending that his feet are not regularly lodged firmly in his mouth, as he always does, doesn't make his delivery anymore clear and intelligible.
Captain Pugwash here has an amusing habit of putting his somewhat quaintly out-of-date opinions up as indisputable facts and in such a sneery manner to make it extremely satisfying when his case falls around his ears, and it mainly does.
Trying to talk down to people from holes you persistently dig yourself into is not good practice for a bear with so little brain.
