Probably not a book to jump into without a bit of context but Haig: A Reappraisal 80 Years On is a collection of essays from a variety of historians each taking a different perspective and focusing on specific aspects of his career. It's a great example of how history is very rarely plain and almost never simple.

Not speaking with any in-depth knowledge of WW1, but I can imagine that these two things are true:

First, war was changing from the way the British had successfully exercised it for centuries, and it is not surprising that it was difficult to adjust to the new realities against the resulting destructive power of a major foe, especially taking into account the British penchant for being totally unprepared.

Second, Haig did send millions to their deaths with tactics completely unsuited to the new reality.

This may all be bollocks, but I feel it always pays to try to see both sides of anything. People who can't end up trolling the Israel/ Palestine thread. Sad cunts.
 
Weeks of inflaming tensions - Beaverman, Hodges, Hartley-Brewer, Habib, Anderson, Tice, Corcoran. They pursue their own agenda, or their donors' agenda, and even now are still trying to make spurious links to justify or to prove that what they said was correct. They knew that the march was scheduled later than remembrance, and passed nowhere near the Cenotaph (all in the public domain) but have whipped up division and dog-whistled the far right to fulfill their warped vision of Britain. Shame on them.

I find it hard to believe that braverman’s braveboys really are the master race.

Plus the coked up dickhead in the hoodie saying they're not there to cause any trouble and will police anyone who does themselves is in almost every other video ballooning round as it's kicking off all around him!

Just a gentle reminder that this policy proposal by Corbyn was based on a review / report completed by the Tories. This review concluded that if the entire network was operated by one provider (Openreach) then the entire UK (including rural areas) would have internet and the savings to the UK population would be £20 billion plus.

The Tories ,of course, rejected the proposal.

I’ve been running through a similar nightmare scenario. Labour will win the next election of course but being out of the EU is going to mean negligible economic growth, and there’s the real possibility of a housing crash to accompany the cost of living crisis. I’m not sure there is much of a way out of the hole we are in and it could get deeper and with slippier sides as geopolitics get more unstable.

So there is the chance of an even harder right Tory government in 2029 to rise, nazi like, from the ashes, like Hitler did. She would be the perfect leader because of her brown skin.

The far right are on the March and have a grip on the Tory Party. The Tory manifesto at the next election will very similar to the far right Neo Nazi parties in Europe like the RN in France. We are in an economic hole entirely of the far rights making but there are no easy solutions to this post Brexit mess. Inevitable economic decline will be accompanied by a cycle of reactionary politics, that will include a long list of scapegoats to paper over the Tories failings - let’s face it the Tory Party has governed for most of the last 200 years but all of the Country’s failings are someone else’s fault.

The longer she’s in post the weaker Sunak appears

I do hope many of the far right tories are swept away come the next election

He's going to offer her the ministry of spoons and teacups, under cover of a hastily cobbled cabinet reshuffle. This reshuffle has one purpose, to force her to reject the new post. If Sunak is smart (he isn't) he'll get the whips to tell her in no uncertain terms, that if she makes mischief and fucks around with her rejection letter she'll lose the whip.

If she loses the whip she can't stand against Sunak in a leadership contest, and she can't stand for the Tories come the next election.

If Liar Johnson could remove the whip from MPs for not being Brexity, can't Sunak remove the whip for her being too fascisty? With a bit of luck, others would resign the whip in sympathy and they lose their majority...

And then you wake up ;-)
 
She’s probably un sackable, if Sunak bins her he will open the door for a vote of no confidence from the far right MP’S and then Braverman gets elected by the racist xenophobic Tory membership .
