This is really a silly spat. Some people are still clearly interested in the whole saga and there are a plethora of books, documentaries and online groups to satisfy their interest.

However, a lot of people are just no longer that curious anymore. No problem with starting a thread about it, but unfortunately you will have to accept perjorative comments.

I suspect that most people in the UK aren't in the slightest bit interested in the death of a US President that happened over 60 years ago. It's too long ago and it has no relevance. We've moved on. Using HOL as a "straw poll", the number of replies appears to confirm my suspicions.

I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the great UK public. I guarantee that far more people in the UK are concerned about Strictly Come Dancing or any other game show than the tiny minority who would even know who the Kennedys were. If you offered a Palace fan 3 points against Brighton tonight or the absolute truth on the Bobby Kennedy affair, how many do you think would say the latter?

Similarly for David Kelly. I (literally) just asked 2 colleagues if they knew who he was. Not a clue. Even after prompting by me about Iraq and WMD. Both of them are graduates of Russell Group universities.

I'm not really sure why this is still a thing.
It is impossible to have an exit wound in the back of your head if you are shot from the back.

It just demonstrates the power of the 'official line'.

What I didn't realise previously was that the Zapruder film was not made publicly available for 12 years. No wonder they could spin the events so easily. Oswald's alleged rifle was not even his rifle.

It's all in the doc.

Well Hrolf, I for one are pleased you started this thread because I hadn't picked up on Oliver Stone's documentary. It's clear that some folk on here don't appreciate the sinister background to the story. There was undoubtedly a cover up and although it happened nearly 60 years ago the implications of political corruption are disturbing.

I watched the first 2 episodes last night and Stone's film gave a forensic account of the background and the events leading up to and following Kennedy's murder. I won't watch the other 2 episodes tonight because there's a game I don't want to miss.

The film JFK covered much the same ground so I didn't think there was a lot of new information, but Stone managed to piece together some quality input from real people rather than just actors. Convincing stuff.

I wouldn't use holders of current degrees as the yardstick of general knowledge these days. I worked with a young man 15 years ago who had graduated with a 2.1 in Modern English Literature, and had never heard of Graham Greene!

Cue replies of 'neither have I'!!
