Comments by "Ray Purchase" (@raypurchase801) on "The Significance of the Domesday Book" video.

  1. "Domesday" in this context means "judgement" as in "judgement for tax liability", not "doom" as in "We're doomed, doomed".

  3.  @hamishdempster5209  That was my understanding, and the Book's Wiki page appears to confirm it. Both definitions fit, so perhaps it was a deliberate 11th century pun.

  4. The Domesday Book is the sequel to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. Sort of.

  5.  @count69  Thankyou for your comment, which I value. The Book's Wiki page claims the word comes from the Latin word for "judgement". It appears BOTH meanings fit very well. I don't claim either YOUR definition or MINE are in/correct. It's really nice to receive contrary arguments without abuse. How very unlike YouTube.

  8. The Domesday Book reveals how William's ride through the north of England left villages erased to the ground. The modern-day census reveals how white people are being ethnically-cleansed out of northern cities. Hence the government's delay in releasing some of the figures. EDIT - CAN ANYONE SEE THIS COMMENT? I'm often shadow-banned.

  11.  @differous01  I click on Replies and yours disappears. You've triggered something in YouTube's algorithms, which means you've used a phrase they regard as hate speech. Regard yourself as lucky. William the Bastard would've had your tongue cut out. YouTube only hides your comment.
