    Is that worth a read?

    There was a brilliant series on PBS America a few years back, just called The West, I think. The episode on Little Big Horn was fascinating. Custer had a huge ego didn’t he? Sort of a celebrity soldier.

    Best book I've read on it ... unique in that it documents where many of tje key native American protagonists were through a time line of the battle ... as well as various theories as to what Custer did when and why ...

    So was The Bible, Shakespeare, Dante’s Divine Comedy, and Treasure Island. All worth a read though...

    Well maybe not The Bible. Stirred up a bit of bother in it's time.

    The book they didn’t want you to read. Not in your own language, anyway.

    The Old Testament is one of the greatest, if not greatest, books of all time.

    The sequel was poor though, as is usually the case.

    Look out, it’s the UK’s version of Trump. Farage is largely followed by the same type of gullible morons who follow Trump.

    No surprise Saxton idolises him.

    At least Trump managed to take power. Farage is just a failure that millions of low-IQ ****wits like peter idolise.

    Wouldn’t say total failure, he’s managed to increase his wealth whilst convincing the gullible to back a three legged horse.

    Farage ensured the UK left the EU.
    Crazed lefties think that is failure.
    Failure is losing at general elections in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019, referendum in 2016 and EU elections in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019.
    Anybody who thinks that ensuring the UK left the EU as he wanted is failure is a nil-IQ moron.

    Farage is a complete twat ... his numerous attempts to join mainstream politics have been an abject failure ... anyone that can't see that is even less intelligent than a "nil-IQ moron"...
