A Hundred years in History.

One hundred years ago, the First World War began. People will say all sorts of things today, to commemorate what we now see as a momentous shift in our history and to try and express what it means to them. Here's our take on it:

At the end of it all, in November 1918, David Lloyd George said: 'At eleven o'clock this morning came to an end the cruellest and most terrible War that has ever scourged mankind. I hope we may say that thus, this fateful morning, came to an end all wars.'

But wasn't it Bertrand Russell who said 'we suffer because we are fools; yet taking mankind in mass, that is the truth.'?

and more.

Fools, all of us.
