"Spins in His Grave Like an Iranian Centerfuge"

Charles is talking about Orwell in relation to this:

'Rewrite British history to reflect other cultures'


Thank God Nelson is already pickled.

Mr Phillips said: "When we talk about the Armada, it was the Turks who saved us because they held up the Armada after a request from Elizabeth I.

"Let’s rewrite that, so we have an ideal that brings us together so that it can bind us together in stormy times ahead in the next century."

"Naive" doesn't even begin to describe this blinkered individual. Self destructive barely starts to be accurate.

I suppose the re-write will include how Muslims granted independence to the United States after Cornwall's surrender at Yorktown.

So, why do these people never suggest we rewrite other people's histories to reflect our culture?

And Jeff, Cornwall did not surrender. He was tossed over by the Turks still smarting over being written out of British histories after saving Liz I's ass.

The Turk giveth and the Turk taketh away.

Hmmmm.

Only someone completely insane could think this up.

The Turks didn't help anybody.
