    The only person responsible for the murders is the person who pulled the trigger. The argument for amending the gun law will not get off the starting blocks as long as all parties support the 2nd Amendment relating to possession of weapons.

    As for inciteful remarks this is a good one: ” If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl.” Obama, Philadelphia 2008. Nuff said!

    This sounds encouraging. Yes, of course the parents have a role to play, in everything relating to their child’s education, but the schools are the primary source of education and if the parents have no interest then relying on that will be of no help.

    Presumably this year’s GCSE History course is not restricted to the last century.

    It’s time to let the Battle rest now. We’ll probably lose the rest of the vets this year and it’s so long ago, the youth don’t care or know, and it should slide quietly away into the history books like Trafalgar and Crecy. Even the bottom has dropped out of the Aviation art market. People aren’t interested anymore except a handful of people of web forums . . .

    I disagree. Youngsters now receive such a paltry education in history, as in much else, that ANYTHING which helps to educates them better cannot be forgotten. By the same token you will find few who have ever heard of the two battles you mention. For that we should be ashamed.

    I hope its going to be an annual event. Last year we were to busy with our Spitfire touring various events this year is much quieter.

    I wish you well with it. Perhaps everyone is suffering from a degree of 2010 BoB overkill and once the idea of an annual event settles down the interest will awaken.

    Good luck!

    Maybe, maybe not, but always worth another look and a reminder of a great day.

    The programme spread over two nights was too long and lacked cohesion – not the sort of fare Bleasdale would be at home with, I would have thought. Last night’s survivors half-hour was much more interesting and could have been longer.
