Julius Caesar and The Sun's sad attempt to educate PM
I applaud the Sun's attempt to educate the Prime Minister David Cameron on British history after his lamentable, red-faced performance on David Letterman's chat show. The paper prints 20 facts that may be news to the Old Etonian. Alas, we have only to get to fact 2 to spot a howler. 'Roman Emperor Julius Caesar didn't conquer Britain...' it starts. JC was never emperor, not even king. At best he was dictator for life. The first Roman emperor was the later Octavian aka Augustus.

Julius Caesar may not have been Emperor of Rome but he was assassinated over fears they he craved a royal or imperial crown.
Cameron made a total ass of himself on Letterman. Whoever advised him to go on should be shot.
Your item on Eton is a disgrace.
You have a head start as an astrologer, immersed in past dead things.
