Or perhaps it was Helen Mirren. Either way, the British monarchy were not into inbreeding as much as they are now. In those days they had the class to behead their current partners and move onto someone different. Which is why Charles deserves more credit than he gets; he is old-school, a man of true gravitas. If you can't decapitate them, drive them into a tunnel wall at high speed. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13516#post-37156 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:08:26 +0000 allmyownstunts 37156@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Clearances ref: Proclaimers 'letter from America' should have all the detail you need.</p> <p>Union of Crowns 1603<br /> Union of Parliaments 1707, keeping separate the law, the church, and education.</p> <p>Here endeth my historical knowledge. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13516#post-37155 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 18:02:04 +0000 The All New Jeni B 37155@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I just hope that all you whingers who complained about having a Scottish PM are happy now with the English one you got.<br /> And do please remember that the Union of the Crowns occurred because <strong>our</strong>king happened to be next in line for yours, because of some inbreeding infertility issues in England. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13516#post-37152 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:33:14 +0000 FormerlyAlOPecia 37152@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>You wait forever for a Duplicate Story to turn up then three arrive at once! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=13516#post-36968 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 09:00:37 +0000 Sinnick 36968@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I believe we had the same thing in England, too - English aristocracy booting out the smallholders.
