Do Historians Ignore Facts?

Terry Deary, the author of Horrible Histories, thinks so and said as much on BBC Breakfast this morning.

I agree!

I once dealt with an archaeologist, who analysed a database of fragments found in peublas all over the South Western United States with Daisy.  When we analysed the whole database we got totally different answers to those of an eminent professor, who’d discarded all of those entries that didn’t fit his personal theory.

A lot of people have been saying that the riots were caused by X and doing Y will stop it.  Have they even got any facts, and if they have have used all the facts to get the answer.
