ReasonableRick in talking absolute pish hell saga. Why are the Dirish such bitter ****s? Everything bad ever done ever is the "falt of da Braits"Seriously, what a pathetic group of arseholes
No he wasn't. His diaries revealed he was homosexual and was involved in a loving relationship with another man (from Peru I believe) but this wasn't considered damaging enough to such a highly regarded man, so some ***** stuff was added to the diaries to make him look bad. Nothing but propaganda against the man who hated slavery.
So, yes you are defending a ****, then? "The unequivocal and confident conclusion which the Giles Document Laboratory has reached is that each of the five documents collectively known as the Black Diaries is exclusively the work of Roger Casement's hand, without any reason to suspect either forgery or interpolation by any other hand. The Diaries are genuine throughout and in each instance." - Dr Audrey Giles http://www.agiles.demon.co.uk/Dr_Giles.html Huth would be proud of you.
A doctor of scrawl. This work was appraised by someone far better qualified than I to call her a **** and the conclusions were that she was a ****. Casement was a homosexual, but there is nothing to suggest he was a kiddie fiddler.
Nah I'm just pointing out that a lot of the logistical slave operations that were disbanded by the British were actually created by the British. The British were the single biggest transatlantic slave traders for the 100 years prior to turning abolitionist. I could go find references but I can't be annoyed, you go google and prove this point wrong. Again, for the third time, I am not deliberately having a dig at the British, I'm making quite a specific point about another poster's claim of the British being emancipationists. Furthermore when was the last time you contributed any sort of constructive point to anything? You've got some weird sort of complex where you put more effort into trying to put people down than come up with any sort of constructive argument of your own. Little man syndrome.
Several works by Keving Mannerings and another guy whose name escapes me right now. I can google it if you are that bothered. I can also tell you that I have read many many reports compiled by Audrey Giles and the criticisms levelled against her in this matter 100% were taken on board in her later works. EDIT: whether she admits that or not.
