Question Time

[Malcolm Malcolm]

This low-quality, emotive argument about Churchill is the surest evidence that Britain is undergoing a kind of national nervous breakdown. It always was going to end up with idiots gibbering about the war.

And of course after a brief fact check despite JRM calling HS2 a massive waste of money and resources he has voted for it at every opportunity.

Of course he went unchallenged by the chair.

It’s good that we can venerate the true legend who stood up for Europe, and the world, in our time of need as well as the man who inspired him to pursue that success.

Jacob Rees Mogg is a mild mannered maniac. He sounds terribly reasonable but anyone who pays attention realises he is talking extremist nonsense.

I can easily imagine him as the evil doctor in a James Bond film.

So this failed UKIP candidate Orangeman Billy gets on to QT 4 times, gets his questions out each time and within a week of being outed is lashing out at the nasty SNP because he got exactly the desired response? I am stunned. It's almost as if Scottish independence is in the conversation again due to Brexit.

Expecting more of these agent provocateurs while the independence subject is hanging around like the smell of gas.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know about that programme. It was really interesting and I think they had some good points, Particularly Cosgrove saying its an indicator of a wider issue because I think that is pretty true.

Billy's response on the Livi True Blues Flute Band page.  

There is not a cat's chance in hell, that statement was written by him. Too many big words for starters

 

ETA. "The Innocent Nurse" was this the same innocent nurse who was outed as a liar, or is it another one I haven't heard about.

Billy doesn't realise he's a nationalist - a Brit nationalist

I find that British nationalists (and other large state nationalists generally) always presume their own neutrality.

That's a good point.

His perspective on the subject is nonsense though. Roughly 25-30,000 people died of starvation and disease in those camps, including young children, and they were there based on their ethnic background.  

Yes but the British were running those concentration camps. Not the Nazis.

It's very different.

"The Kenya Human Rights Commission has said 90,000 Kenyans were executed, tortured or maimed during the crackdown, and 160,000 were detained in appalling conditions."

A good thread that rips JRM to shreds. The right have nothing but lies to tell about history.

Churchill a mass murderer. Who would have thought

Recently on another thread I made reference to a book called 'The History Thieves' by Ian Cobain.  Anyone wanting an insight into how secretive, cynical, duplicitous, brutal and immoral are the actions of th British State and it's military and civil service apparatus could do worse than to read his chapter on Kenya.
