A lot well said!
Time to remember a great man rather than cast aspersions on his family.

I’m not sure what happened there. | |

” He has said he is ‘passionate about issues of justice, particularly in the areas of race and sexuality’ and has ‘an interest in gender, desire and ethnicity in Late Antique Egypt’, alongside ‘liberation theology’ and ‘queer theology’.”
Aren’t we all, eh?
I don’t know what’s happening to Anglicanism. Not so long ago it was a reassuringly staid, ritual-based bastion of tradition, over the last thirty years or so it has come to house more fruitcakes than Mr Kipling’s stock room.  | |

I’m reading a good book right now by Christopher Hitchens on Religion Kills. Could have written it myself | |

A statue of Sir Tom should be placed on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square, we've all suffered thru this and it would be a fitting remembrance.
Can you name who is on the other 3? I googled it for you
George IV - ok heard of him
General Sir Charles James Napier - nope (British Army's Peninsular and 1812 campaigns, and later a Major General of the Bombay Army)
Major-General Sir Henry Havelock - nope (associated with India and his recapture of Cawnpore during the Indian Rebellion of 1857) | |

You’ll know who Napier was without perhaps knowing his name. He was an Irish adventurer/soldier in Wellington’s army. Having distinguished himself in all the major engagements he went on to author the definitive six-volume history of The Peninsula Campaign. This work inspired Bernard Cornwell to go on and create his ‘Sharpe’ character, so when you read any of the Sharpe novels or watch any of the TV films you are seeing and hearing an echo of Charles Napier.
In later life he went on to champion the extension of voting rights and was strongly identified with several radical groupings that would later merge to become the Chartists.
All-in-all Napier’s statue is well deserved. Men like him aren’t just a part of history they helped shape it and make us who we are today. | |
