Re: What on earth are they thinking?

Re: What on earth are they thinking?

I know it's part of the history Jen but the problem is that in a lot of people's minds it isn't history. When it inflames (pardon the pun) animosity between people then perhaps it's time to reassess....

Re: What on earth are they thinking?

Well they did it! Look at this (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=467897&in_page_id=1811).
