Queen Elizabeth II disrespected by Scottish officer!

I don't see how you managed to fit fascism in there, but the only British royal that seemed to be seriously fascist was Edward VIII (the Duke of Windsor)

Either way, I wouldn't bother tarring all with the same brush. I'm sure most families in Britain around that time had someone at least slightly sympathetic to fascism in them.

Most aristocrats seem to.

so, any one in favour of a return of the Stewarts LOL:

in the red corner we have chief imposter and general Belgian nosey parker, HRH Prince Michael of Albany (as he likes tae be kent) and in the blue corner, Franz, Duke of Bavaria, who unlike his rival really can trace his ancestry back to the Stuarts.

any takers? hmmm, thought not. but perhaps we could get them to duel at dawn or something, and gie us some entertainment

QUITE A PIC.....THE MAN MUST BE PICTISH...I SEE

[NovaBritannia]

The Picts of the north were most probably related to the Celtic Britons that once spanned Great Britain. Thanks to the fact that we are a ******* race of inbreds, it's almost impossible for anyone around these here parts not to have a bit of that blood in them.

We probably all spoke something like Welsh. Place names in the East of Scotland are of Pictish origin - Bogindollo, Oathlaw, Pittenweem, Aberbrothock (now Arbroath).

Even Aberdeen is a Pictish name I believe. "Aber" means "mouth of a river" as it does in Welsh whilst the Gaelic equivalent is "Inver"

not necessarily. that they had a similar language and culture is maybe true, that they were the same race is harder to discern. it may be that the Picts were the original but remnant people of mainland Britain - aka the Beaker people - but had been politically taken over by Celtic incomers and had therefore adopted a P-Celtic language. after all, the Irish aren't any less Celtic just because the vast marjority of them have little knowledge of their own language Gaelige.
