We hope that you don't mind the language in this .. the message is in line with our desire for the future even though the languate may not be what we would use

It's a pity that this #fakenews regarding #marconi is still in place with no clarification given that we published evidence that he wasn't first many years ago and that Sir John Gavey beat him by 5 years.
