I just can’t see a modern Oxford Don having the stones to write it and send it out.

I can see an Oxford professor with "tenure" (if that exists at Oxford) writing such a piece...particularly if he/she is older and close to retirement.

“Pay attention to the small things in life for someday you will realize they were the big things.”(author unknown)

Erasing history insures that it will be repeated!


A rant about correct usage, followed by a less that stellar use of insure to mean ensure.

Irony is so ironic.

Absolutely outstanding! Of course, only an expert native speaker of the Queen’s English could pen such an incredible series of put-downs. Bravo for educated and logical Englishmen (or women, as the case may be).

I must also pay homage to the comment, “And what were your ancestors doing in that period? Living in mud huts, mainly. Sure we’ll concede you the short lived Southern African civilisation of Great Zimbabwe. But let’s be brutally honest here. The contribution of the Bantu tribes to modern civilisation has been as near as damn it to zilch.” That’s truth of the old-fashioned kind - the kind that hits you in the face like Thor’s hammer.

I bet this is fake!

Dan Rather would be proud of the writer.

That piece nearly makes me want to move to England... And that’s sad, when the US seems to be LOSING in the free speech arena. :(

I agree with every word, syllable right down to the punctuation points. I just can’t see a modern Oxford Don having the stones to write it and send it out.

I hope it real but won’t be surprised if it isn’t.

We have this wonderful conservative and naive female friend. Each week she sends us something this.

None of it is ever true.

Not from anyone in command at Oxford but still a joy.

Winston Churchill had unenlightened views about Muslims.

I respectfully disagree.

I disrespectfully disagree. Churchill hit the nail on the head.
