Conspiracy theory?

This is true. I took a trip to Brazil years ago and saw him at a poker table with Bruce Lee, Jim Morrison, and Elvis. They all looked to be in good spirits, but old.

C'mon Cookie, there are better conspiracy theories out there.

I've always been intrigued by the fact that plenty of high ranking SS ended up in that region yet Hitler never had the sense to get there himself.

FIFA Bribes

Again the game is brought into the spotlight for its unsavory greasing of palms culture. With money calling all the shots behind the scenes. Something I wrote about here & I have to admit I'm kicking myself for not going with a follow up.

Agree or disagree?

I dont think I understand what he's actually wanting. I know that the primary schools up here cover scottish history including some battles, clans ect ( nothing on the highland clearances though ) wallace and all that stuff. they covered the whole roman period and WWII quite a bit.

What would you call "modern" history?

I think he's trying to get across that "popular culture" seems to dictate more of what is taught about English history rather than what was achieved by such a small island from being conquered to conquering & to the great leap forwards we made via he industrial revolution. As examples.

So much seems to be swept under the carpet for fear of upsetting.
