To anyone with a modicum of interest in this country’s past, such ignorance is deeply depressing, to say the least. But I suppose it could be worse. Think what would happen if some Mail Online know-nothing hack was able to interview other historical figures . . .
‘Sir Winston Churchill, tell us how you came up with the idea of a nodding bulldog to promote your insurance company.’
‘Napoleon, having invented a popular type of brandy, was it perhaps rather egotistical to name it after yourself?’
‘Pablo Picasso, as a car designer you must be thrilled to see your Citroën Grand C4 Picasso being crowned “Best Used MPV” in the Auto Express Used Car Awards 2023.’
‘Emperor Hadrian, I hear you’ve ordered two and a half million tons of bricks and thousands of tons of lime mortar. That’ll be one heck of a villa you’re building up north.’
