@Zack White Found this article about Wellington in the Irish Times for the Waterloo Anniversary and I'd be interested in yours and others thoughts on the subject for a good debate. Over here in the UK Wellington is seen as a hero. Over in Ireland and as the comment section makes plain, he's more a villain. Certainly raising the voting proce to £10 when the rest of the UK is 40 shillings was bad and even worse he knew realistically very people would be able to reach that threshold is equally bad but anyway what's your thoughts on the Article. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/wellington-won-battle-of-waterloo-200-years-ago-but-irish-rejected-his-legacy-1.2254416

Funnily enough I am planning an Irish month in March on The Napoleonicist. It may well come up then.
