I don't actually know, but probably nothing good. The point was that Kipling wasn't just "a product of his time" he was someone that was criticized for all these things by his contemporaries Also, he couldn't rhyme for shit

My point is, his views were typical of his peers, in precisely the same way Twain's were.

Well if you narrow down the definition of "his peers" enough then everyone's views are typical of their peers By definition David Icke's opinions are typical of his peers too

You've got a very warped sense of what a peer is

I never said anything of the kind. Can you please pay attention to what I actually say, and not twist it into something you'd expect a bigot to say? You've still not acknowledged you've given *zero* evidence Baroness Nicholson testified about WMDs.
