Well done to the people of Carmarthen
Monument to Waterloo hero will STAND: Memorial to slaver Thomas Picton who died in 1815 battle will not be removed or renamed after majority of locals vote to keep it amid BLM row
I didn't realise that he is the only Welshman buried in St Paul's Cathedral
More guts than those wishy-washy yellow bellied scummers

Just did a little Googling on this and it seems this battle was more famous for the savagery of the British soldiers going on a barbaric rampage after the French surrendered.
20% to 30% of the civilians massacred, needlessly and for fun.
How anyone can celebrate Britain's past and laud evil like Picton and his kind is beyond me.
It seems the history some read is chosen very selectively. |
That is a laugh Napoleon's troops were infamous for the atrocities they committed across Europe and Russia and Egypt.
Be pround the brave British defeated them otherwise you would be speaking French. | |

Where have you copied and pasted that from?
If you had done a proper study you’d know that the orgy of violence, mostly committed by Irish troops, was brought to an abrupt end when Picton roused himself from his hospital cot and appeared in the centre of town like a furious Nemesis. |
Killy wont like you blaming the Irish. | |

Do you want to put your new-found faith to the test? Let’s see how much you know about the foundation years of the Labour Party and its initial leading lights without recourse to Google, shall we?
Back yourself, son. Take me on. |
My new found faith in the Labour Party? Not me mate.
What is the Labour Party anyway? What does it stand for, perhaps you can pull your own plonker and explain that to me because I haven't got a clue?
But I'll take you on, what's your name? |  | | |

It says in the body of text I've copied mate.
"The most detailed study of the effects of the British riot and looting of Badajoz is undoubtedly the one published in 1983 by Eladio Méndez Venegas from data collected in the Diocesan Archives of Badajoz."
Are your copies and pastes any better? Says who eh? |
It’s very rare I resort to copy and paste unless it’s a specific quote, I’m vain enough to think I can do better.  |  |

Hardly the fault of ‘Ireland,’ they wore the uniform of the Crown. If you want to pin the blame anywhere I suppose it would have to rest with Wellington for failing to rein them in. He must have known they’d been driven half-mad by the slaughter of the siege. [Post edited 23 Dec 2020 13:16]

Unless you were around in the early 1800's you're copying and pasting mate, simple as that.
Vain, obviously.

The Radio 4 In Our Time archive mostly. |
Regularly listen to that podcast on the way to and from work.
Terrific archive. Plenty to chew over.
Have to say, though, that Bragg, as he gets older, has become increasingly and intolerably tetchy, rude and arrogant towards his panel of experts, and slathers mate-ily over some (probably pals from his Mayfair club) whilst dismissively interrupting others.
Beginning to remind me of Robin Day 😱 |  | | |

True. Still a great eclectic mix of guests and subjects though. There’s nothing quite like it out there. | |
