UK petrol shortage ? Grangemouth refinery strike.

Fuel Crisis Fear As Scotland's Only Oil Refinery Is Closed.

This will no doubt result in hordes of kilted highlanders brandishing claymores and lochaber axes pillaging our English petrol stations.

You won't even be safe in Portsmouth.

It's time to top-up the tank before they get here.

This is how Braveheart started.

At least they still have their freedom.

Fool, I know that isn't true. Canada wasn't even discovered until 1701.

What's your response to that, smart guy?

The English came in and built a society on the ashes of the French defeat.

Unlike the French, my ancestors had enough sense to shoot the beavers before putting them on our heads to make those funny little hats. That made for a marked reduction in the number of colonists who had their heads chewed open by beavers.

The history of America IS the history of America's hats. There's no event in North American history that cannot be effectively summarized by an analysis of local hat styles at the time it happened.

However, the modern liberal elites who run the history departments have a distinct anti-hat bias and they always gloss over this.

I've felt the same as you, but I should have told my history teacher about this, I'm sure it would bowler over.
