That's disappointing but not surprising. But I bet he can tell you all about the great alphabet soup authors. Greatness of course has to be linked to longevity. Some people may try and erase Shakespeare et al as they are no longer politically correct but being around for hundreds of years says it all. How many modern authors who are championed will be remembered in 100 years? If they are then fair play to them.

If they can stop teaching Catcher in the Rye and The Go Between in universities then perhaps not a bad thing to modernise the canon of literature. Obviously though, will be all diversity and gender candidates. Nothing actually any good at all.

I met Hughie once when I was a kid. He didn't come across as a nice guy.

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 have started watching it and it is a good documentary.

All part of demoting our British and western history and culture for that of a globalised perspective that I view as combative and aggressive to us. The march though the institutions has been in place for decades now and what did the conservatives do about it....hell, they even put many of these 'woke' leaders in place themselves. Essentially capital and its wants rules us....not the political class....they are less leaders and more administrators. Watching the media at the moment deciding who should be the figurehead 'running' the country for us is a lesson for all who care to notice. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Jan 2022 2.25pm)

The thing that made me think that Oswald wasn't alone in this was the ease with which Jack Ruby was able to step forward and shoot him, point blank.

Even on the day of the shooting, the news reported that witnesses had said that shots came from behind a fence next to the railway lines. They even said that a man was chased from that position. I doubt that Oswald even had a rifle on the day.

There should be a fair amount of assassinations you'd be suspicious about then. Personally unless you have a lot of money and manpower to spend on safely moving people around I think that assassinations are going to be successful periodically.

I doubt that Oswald even had a rifle on the day. To me the two shots that hit Kennedy come from an elevated position behind him. If Oswald was innocent of killing Kennedy then why flee your job and scene, kill an officer and resist arrest? Edited by Stirlingsays (15 Jan 2022 12.36pm)
