So utterly sick of the religion of 'Digital '. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

BBC news page simultaneously reporting UK Gov plan for compulsory digital IDs and a nursery hack that stole the photos and addresses of hundreds of small children.

Clearly reading the "wrong" merchants 😉

Get into the Andrew Russell papers in the Dutch Republic. There lies a world of intrigue, espionage, revolutionaries.... the link beween tha VOC, WIC, the EIC..... boring Scottish coastal commerce, banking, privateering, the Baltic dilema....

oh, and trade.

Tssk. You experts and your pesky evidence-based interpretations! What's wrong with believing every spittle-coated lump of bile that drops from the various orifices of a hypocritical grifter with the intellect of a gnat? After all, he only has mankind's best interests at heart ...

Correct me if I am wrong, but #Farage has no higher university education, let alone in the discipline of #history.

He is thus in no position to judge interpretations of history

Sure, there is seldom a single orthodox historical truth, but it is for qualified Historians to debate.

'Nigel Farage has hit out at universities for “poisoning the minds” of students with what he said was a “twisted interpretation of history” in his speech on the opening day of the Reform UK conference.' 1/3

Universities ‘poisoning student minds’, says Farage
