Yeah, I frankly couldn’t tell you what’s been distorted in terms of historical events.
I haven’t noticed any clashes with my own knowledge regarding the events themselves, and what the fuck do I know about what Queen Elizabeth said or did about x/y/z? Nothing, that’s what.
Anyway. Now I’m curious. What’s been distorted?
