    Also it is endangering the migrants themselves. Encouraging people to leave the safety of turkey and risk crossing the Mediterranean is totally irresponsible. That child who was washed up on a beach in turkey and all the others that have drowned were a consequence of the actions from the European left. Their politics is more important than people lives, including children. Yet they act as if they occupy the moral high ground.

    Indeed, yes, that too.

    I was actually speaking to someone in his thirties today, who does know his world history, and he thinks that once people of the indigenous populations have their backs to the wall (that is, if the invasion is not brought to a rapid close), there will be serious retaliation against the invaders before long. Humans are tribal, and will ultimately defend their own – that's not something that can be changed, despite mad Merkel's earnest wishes. It's no accident that twice in history, Muslims have been expelled from Europe – and basically, their outlook (on women, homo-sexuals and other faiths) has not changed over the centuries, unlike that of indigenous Europeans, who in some cases have now gone too far the other way, without thinking through the consequences of their naive PC view of the world.

    (Incidentally, the word 'homo sexuals' appears to be censored here for some reason!)

    The Stuarts were descended from Bretons. Their line ended with James II. Hello Hanoverians! Germans through and through.

    P.S. If the Scots want a Stuart back again, there is one available. Although he is the Duke of Bavaria, and thus is a bit German as well by now.:)

    I don't think we're that bothered. I was replying to Gen blithely saying that the Scots 'wanted to keep the Queen'.. as if Scotland had nothing to do with the UK monarchy line since James 1 England /VI Of Scotland ( Mary Queen of Scots son ). Hello Stuarts !

    Carry on. :)
    It all seems so stupid it makes me want to give up.
    But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid ?

    I suppose in a one party state, such things will become important

    Humans no doubt took a few thousand years to work their way up from Europe to Scotland.

    Your ancestors are therefore almost certainly English.

    Hope that helps.

    You don't help your case when you proffer such obvious falsehoods as the suggestion that there are humans in Scotland.

    Actually, he didn't say that at all, he said "It's why the SNP promised the economically risible idea of using the pound, promised to stay in the EU and wanted to keep the Queen as Head of State".

    As far as I am aware that is a statement of fact. The SNP did state that an independent Scotland would retain the Queen as head of state. Even if England became a republic.:)

    Obviously what the Scots themselves want might well be something different. I am not going to make the mistake of confusing a political party with a country.:)

    I think the fact that the former Queen Mother was born in Scotland, would be far closer connection to Scotland than any of that.

    And shouldn't it be Stewarts if you are true Scot? Stuart is the French spelling of the name, adopted by old James One, largely because his mother was basically French, despite being Queen of Scots. (Her mother was French, she was raised in France etc)
  • What has to be put in this migration equation is this.
    In twelve months time, the millions of Islamic migrants will have EU passports and there is nothing we can do to stop them moving here, absolutely nothing.

    It is **** or bust for us as a nation this Brexit vote.
    They win and you had better get ready for some very serious and rapid changes to your every day life and the possibility Sharia law expanding further in to our lives.

    Maybe you should ask that question to the parents of the 1400 children abused in Rotherham.

    That wasn't Sharia Law. That was a series of very poor decisions made by officials and some horrible crimes committed by some Muslim men. It was nothing to do with Sharia Law AFAICS.
