@ Roland - I picked up on my teachers Labour bias. Thankfully my girlfriend was very much on the Conservative side of things, and I'm edging towards the more Liberal end of the spectrum so issues were battered around quite a bit before and conclusions were reached (in my head). But it's an interesting point you make.

Just thinking of my own education certainly the version of history I was taught was not quite the true story. One of the biggest lies that has really shaped the world we live in was that fascism was a far right wing white nationalist movement almost th exact opposite to communism .
When you realize it was in fact a Marxist revision movement or in another manor a movement that wanted to up date communism to make it more successful then the world takes a new shape.
We've all been brought up to fear fascism and we've all been brought up to fight it from attacking from the right wing and whats happened is it's been creeping up on us from the left.
