It's frustating bringing a new idea to the Brits and have it be claimed that nothing new in the world truly exists, it has always been done before in one form or the other. The brits invented it first anyway. And then encounter your line of thinking where an event less damaging than the battle of the somme, or the great fire of 1666 is somehow exempt from the normality of history. I dont think HN is the appropriate place to discuss polticial demands on what is 'normal'.
