Good point. Ethnic cleansing and murder ongoing in southern Lebanon as we write but front page of daily
mail concerns itself with a netflix production on a 35 yr old british murder on wimbledon common. This is hampster land. Ignore ethnic cleansing and genocide (double triple taps on aid/rescue workers)
re your son's A levels, I thought it wouldn't be a bad thing to study modern history. Ancient history is all very well if you need to get into a debate with Stephen Fry or Boris Johnson but modern history is a lot more relevant. Say post 1492, rise of Dutch East India, City of London, British empire, US war of independence, Haitian revolution, Napoleonic wars, US Mexican war, US civil, Franco Prussian, League of nations rubber stamp creation of Belgium Congo, Boar war, WW1, Bolshevic revolution white vs red Russian civil war WW2, Palestine vs Israel, Chinese Cultural Revolution, Korea, fall of French Indo China, Algerian exit, Israel 67 war, Vietnam, Israel vs Neighbours oil shock war, Cambodia pol pot,, Belgium Congo, Fall of Rhodesia, Fall of South Africa, Sudan, Russia in Afghanistan, Iran Iraq, Falklands, Rwanda, Gulf 1, Balkans civil, NATO in Serbia, NATO in Afghanistan, Gulf 2, Libyan overthrow, Saudi v Yemen, 'Arab' 'Spring', Ukraine&Friends v Russia,..Israel v Iran, Israel V Lebanon, .. to be continued.
I realise this is just a list of some of the wars and conflicts that have happened, but if I could make up a course it would be wars post 1492 as war is the extension of politics by other means, so a degree in 'Politics by Other Means'.
Get a first in that then a future as a poster on the millionaire's club is pretty much guaranteed/beckons.
*the huge connection in all the above list is, Judaism. Initially through funding, then ideology, and from 'birth' of recognised Israel nation state, the costly and bloody defence of. (and the assumed future expansion of, currently ongoing in Lebanon) This is a proven fact but Hampster will tell you that's being an anti marmite and 'it's the wogs'., as he tells you to stay home, wear a mask and kill gran, before jetting off to his 3rd home to aid a tax evader manipulate ukrainian money laundering procedures from his hired suzuki jeep wifi link.
