What Keith claimed on 16 December 2014 in the thread "I'm not an historian but....":

The Guardian last week described the work of Clark and Taylor as "fraudulent."

What Geoffrey Wheatcroft, an invited columnist (not "the Guardian," note), said in the Guardian on 9 December 2014 and what Keith was referring to:

That series had been preceded in 1963 by AJP Taylor's rather vulgar book, The First World War: An Illustrated History, and Oh, What a Lovely War!, Joan Littlewood's musical pasquinade. The latter, which used the songs the Tommies had sung in the trenches, drew on Alan Clark's 1961 book The Donkeys – a largely fraudulent book, whose title derives from an invented quotation about "lions led by donkeys", that nevertheless made a mark.

As you can plainly see, there was no remark made that AJP Taylor's book was "fraudulent." Keith not only said that that's what was said, he even put it in speech marks. He made it up. It wasn't true. Over two years on, he twists and turns but refuses to acknowledge that he told a porkie. An "oops, sorry" in his next post would have cleared it up. Had I not chased him up on this in subsequent posts, the lie would have stood, unremarked on. That's what people like Keith hope will happen. When they twist the facts (lie) in order to make a better case for themselves, they don't like to be challenged. Akenaton has recently told a lie in another thread about how his views generated threads with many thousands of posts. He was hoping no-one would challenge that. These people must think that the rest of us are idiots. Well we are not, and we shouldn't let them get away with such nonsense.
