Letter To The ICBR: Re: Could You Explain Please?

06.01.2007

I am so taken aback by this website and the cause it advertises that I had a lot of trouble deciding how to start this email.

'What the Hell?' doesn't come close to covering it. How on earth did you think up such historical bollocks? and how have you gone this far without someone suing you for misrepresentation of facts?

I don't even know where to start criticising you, there's so much and it makes me nauseous to think that some people who aren't that well informed might believe this. I am a History student, it is my passion and i have never heard such insulting fallacies in my life.

I am going to have to wright to you again in the morning because i simply don't have time to wright the essay that is needed to attempt to correct you, but here are a few of my favorites:

"prison camps (a British invention)", not true
"machine guns (another British invention)", amazingly not true
"Alfred the Great in 871", not the first king of England
"other totalitarian reigns" England has had non-totalitarian government for as long as it had been united as one country and at the time of the american revolution, was the worlds greatest democracy
"Modern Britain was founded through the systematic erasure of indigenous culture and language", on the contrary, Britain was founded on the mixing of numerous cultures


This is where the lies (for there is nothing else to call them) become too entangled for me to pick out at the slightest of glances. I shall continue my complaint when I have more time, until then some sort of explanation is probably in order, I await it angrily and eagerly.
