A ...Thanks for the comment David. Much appreciated.<br />A shocking reflection on the Telegraph and on the British Press. <br />Clearly I was wrong to single out the Daily Mirror.

I was interviewed by the Telegraph and another media outlet in the UK and made that very clear, but they ignored me and preferred to talk about the deluded Emperor. Just goes to show that some Brits are still fighting against the Ogre of Corsica.<br /><br />Thanks for your blog that reflects actual reality!<br /><br />David Markham, President<br />International Napoleonic Societyhailcaesarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448747736535846956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-88288175519959279192010-06-21T08:31:57.326+01:002010-06-21T08:31:57.326+01:00Thanks for pointing that out.

If at any point Napoleon was so deluded as to think he could invade England from St Helena then I think there would be some corroborating evidence from other sources. It looks to me simply that he was discussing the past, as he was wont to do - and his British captors were I think always interested in hearing his views.John Tyrrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14840928923304125310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1576793257211626923.post-27647952790074759712010-06-20T22:21:34.776+01:002010-06-20T22:21:34.776+01:00Hi John,
