On October 12th 2015, Dame Stella Rimington, former Head of MI5, revealed that when the Germans shot Nurse Edith Cavell in Belgium, on October 12th 1915, that they had her BANG TO RIGHTS.
The British reckoned that the exploitation of the execution by their own propagandists was worth a couple of Army Corps to them. Upwards of 40,000 chivalrous youths were suckered into flocking to the British Colours to kill or be killed by similar chivalrous idealists in the German forces.
The Church of England inscribed Cavell’s name in its Calendar of Saints. And her statue stands in Trafalgar Square.
Don’t get me wrong. Edith Cavell was a very brave woman. But her labours to help British soldiers trapped behind German lines escape and return to fight the Germans was punishable by death according to the internationally recognised rules of the bloody business that is war..
Edith Cavell is one of eight persons chosen by Gordon Brown for heroism.
In 2003 Gordon Brown, together with Tony Blair, in support of President George W Bush waged a merciless war on IRAQ, which they justified by the untruth that that country had weapons of mass destruction which could be launched against Britain within minutes.
Britain’s leading expert on such things, David Kelly, refuted their claim.
David Kelly died, reputedly with slit wrists. But there was no Inquest, nor Coroner’s verdict on that misadventure, and the story was put about that it was suicide.
But without authoritative confirmation, the story does not compel acceptance.
Perhaps in the year 2103 an informed British Intelligence will come clean on
the mystery.
And the Pope will join the Orange Order.
