My problem with history is that almost no one seems to know any of it. There are plenty of Oxbridge and Ivy Leaguers about who can blather on, essentially telling the same old tales of empire heroics but no one seems to confront the obvious parochial perversions. It's as though we don't want to know. I think it's all to do with habit- forming rather than thinking that most people can do.
