On the way to class - Part II

JP: Sir, did you know that the Twin Towers was a conspiracy?

Me: I did not!

JP: Sir, it's true!

Me: Where's your evidence? You're doing History GCSE, right? You need to have facts to prove your case!

JP: Sir, sir, go on YouTube.

Me: YouTube?

JP: Yeah, Sir. There's a video on YouTube.

Me: Riiiight...

JP: It's American money. You fold it and it's got the Twin Towers blowing up on it!

Me: Come on J. That is not proof.

JP: Yeah, but, Sir! It's so weird!

Judge for yourself here.

JP: Sir, I was talking to Mr H today about the BNP.

Me: What did you say?

JP: He was talking about the leader - the Griffin person?

Me: That's right. What do you think of him?

JP: He's a liar isn't he?

Me: What do you mean?

JP: The Holocaust was when like a million Jewish people were killed, right?

Me: About six.

JP: Yeah, well most of the things the BNP say are lies because they say it didn't happen. That's what Mr H said.

Me: And what do you think?

JP: Yeah I reckon that he's a liar then, innit.

Glad that this is JP's conclusion, following on from our somewhat disturbing conversation about immigration last week.

Pause.

JP: Sir, the Holocaust happened in the Second World War.

Me: Yes.

JP: That began in 1945 didn't it Sir?

Sigh.
