Quite, and well said. Perhaps to be truly authentic, all the volunteers in the opening sequence should also have had half their teeth knocked out and left the rest to rot? Funny how some suddenly start questioning historical physical accuracy when it comes to a black face but not in other matters. They were all too tall too, people were quite a bit shorter back then.

Even Boris Johnson has snorted at all the accusations of left-wing propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
