Brighton[edit]

You'd probably find this interesting. Although it's a counterfactual, some of the authors are professional historians and make sound points despite arguing hypothetically. Unfortunately, in your case, the chapter is by one Simon Heffer, and— because Heffer—the entire piece is a hit job on Hezza. He doesn't look at 'what might have been' in, for example, Ireland or the north, a pretty glaring omission considering it's the basis of the chapter. It's a shame, but yeah, due Heffer, not an RS. Even so, it is good fun, and lots of names that are very much blasts from the past :)

Cheers SN - I've read a couple of the 'what if' books, and they're always a bit of a chuckle. The biggest laugh, however, is how Heffer is described as a "Leading Historian"! - SchroCat (talk) 13:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I had to to rewrite my message a few times so as to avoid BLPVIO etc... ——Serial Number 54129 13:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some people don't make it easy to avoid BLPVIO! - SchroCat (talk) 13:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
