Two bodies in the kitchen. A time for closure ?

It wouldn't bother me. I don't rate Lomax's book but I don't begrudge him for writing it or for making a living.

At least he's got the advantage of having seen and spoken to JB to get an overall impression and not a made-up wild guess such as CAL has done . How on earth can you tell what anyone is like unless you've seen/spoken to them. Is her way the done thing to form an opinion ??

Well, there is always you with your 'gut feeling' - when did you meet him?

People write books about characters from history - they didn't meet them. If everyone took that silly attitude there would be no history!

Strange then that you've formed opinions about many on here. Especially those who oppose your views.

Not everyone has gut-feelings though do they ?

History has nothing to do with those who are still living does it ?

PLENTY have gut feelings. Your problem is that you think you're the only one with a correctly working gut.

Careful, Lookout. An ego the size of yours is quite likely to implode.

I doubt it now at my stage in life. It's already as large as it's going to get.

Most people have gut feelings.
If it's in the past, it's history / historical. If I write about Donald Trumps early years, it's writing about history.
Donald Trump isn't dead.

But you don't have any evidence of such corruption. I'm still waiting for the evidence that Bamber blamed the TFG?

I posted it. And you've got to be kidding? Have you not seen the Ainsley and Fletcher threads?

Posted it where?

Yes, I have read them, sounds like Bill Robinson?

Deaf people manage to form impression without hearing.
Blind people manage without seeing.

Not all of our value judgments are visual or audible. We can judge on reportage.
Most of the world has an opinion about an entity they've never seen or heard, only read about.
Half the world believes in a God that (arguably) has less evidence to support him than JB does.
