    It does require more comment from you, James. For instance, are you highlighting the man’s deeply pedestrian mindset and inability to take any criticism, or do you think it’s reasonable?

    If the former, great! If the latter, ungreat. The 1930s took place, wait for it, between 84 and 75 years ago. The bloke in the left of the picture is as dead as that squirrel, and has been for 74 years… his son and grandson are also dead. On the other hand, the individuals currently being discussed for their morally crippled decisions still are alive and in positions of influence, and demonstrating a singular inability to accept that maybe just maybe they may have done something wrong.

    The use of the term “buggery”, given the active story, is particularly distasteful.

    The Mail has a historic record for lies and distasteful alliances, In the 20s they were responsible for the Zinoviev letter which was a lie. The have variously supported Mussolini, Hitler, Franco and Apartheid. I’m buggered if I’d buy the steaming pile of ordure

    I confess I do. Makes a great backup if the toilet paper runs out, and my cat loves it. Fortunately he can’t read.

    There’s no need to join the Tories in the gutter.

    Corporate & collective guilt are very different from individual guilt – should we really still be blaming the Germans for the National Socialists?
