Ryan Dawson–my *rse.

Well if anyone present is too thick to see what that malignant little *rse is angling at, then I’m afraid you need help.
Holocaust denial takes many forms, from the blatant to the very subtle–this cr*p falls somewhere in the middle.
Using what is essentially sloppy journalism regarding anti-Jewish pogroms in what was the old Russian empire (and God knows there were enough of them) to tie a figure to a later much more nasty event.

Even if the 6 million figure regarding Hitler’s holocaust is incorrect, and I suspect it is, only by being on the low side, it doesn’t really cover the aspect of all the other millions of poor b*ggers who went west under the ‘final solution’ does it?

Nasty stuff by someone I would sugeest who is extremely unpleasant.

Well that sort of thing has always gone on somewhere or other.
What really p*sses me off much more on a bank holiday Monday morning is the sight of this skanky ***t getting off so lightly.

The multi-millionaire Lib Dem may on his release, devote himself to championing green issues. He is also thought to be writing a book.

All I can say to that is that I won’t be rushing to the local book shop to waste money on that sh*t.

Just to finish, throughout this April/May period in 1915, the Second Battle of Ypres was grinding on. This battle–or series of battles saw the first documented use of poison gas, although the Germans may have experimented with it on the Eastern Front slightly earlier.
Of course, The Western Front was never still, with casualties every day–they called it wastage.

Wonderful stuff as ever Kev.
When are you going to let me take you over there??
You know I’d consider it a great honour to do so.

The opinion of someone I know in the ‘trade’ so to speak, informs me that they were ‘nobbers’ who must have broken every rule and guidline on Tazer use in the book.
The rules ere on the side of safety and should be adhered to, and these two will face dsisciplinary no doubt.

Personally I doubt ‘the filf’ should be trusted with anything more lethal that a small truncheon.

Right then old son, we’ll have an aniversary thread.
Tell me about your Grandfathers though too please??

Zeebrugge was a fascinating if slightly risky operation.
Have you ever been there to have a look..?

Paul.
I remembered it.
I went to Gallipoli once, and believe me, ANZAC Cove is tiny–with sheer walls.
Of all the places I’ve been in the World, it’s one of the few I really want to go back to.

I used to post on forums what I considered significant dates from The Great War, but so few people ever commented, I sort of gave up.
Maybe with the centenary of those great events coming up, we should start a thread with significant dates–anyone interested??

Of course, another date I mentally noted was St George’s Day, which was the 95th aniversary of the Zeebrugge raid.

Both the April 25th 1915, an April 23rd 1918 operations at Galipoli and Zeebrugge brought a big haul of Victoria crosses.
