Having read a paper regarding the synchronic & diachronic forms of emergentism in mammals we need to get a move on...the animals are catching up fast....
Sorry 'Yellow Journo' coming out, but debate can go on forever & I would like to say " I wasn't there" so 'full context' still means a story....
Once upon a time, my mate Churchy baby gave me this great big.....

It amazes me how a man with a certain lifestyle can be a Nazi sympathiser.

Which is it T?Comment

I am not a sympathiser, they are all dead, or in Brazil apparently, so what would be the point. They are funny foreign types also. I just have a blacker than black sense of humour. Then again, I would say that, wouldn't I?

Hang on a minute, what does "a certain lifestyle" mean exactly?"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.

Hmmm, Nazi sypathisers? There were lots of them aound before and during WWII. Ususally Tories with false sense of superiority who felt that feudalism had been consigned to the dustbin of history far too early!No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation.

How did I miss this, what a fantastic thread (bar some of the personal digs)
Just taken delivery of the full set of Churchills war memoirs. (bargain off fleabay)
Having just finished Beavors, Berlin, Leningrad, D-day, thought I'd continue in that with Churchills undoubtably biased but centrally involved perspective.Comment

Wasn't Scotland a feudal society long after England? I thought the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 did not come into full force until 2004. So who kept this going far longer than most then?

That's true, there were feu duties payable on land bought. There was also the situation however, that when you buy land in Scotland, it's yours in perpetuity as opposed to the freehold system in England. Feu duties were very low, however. I can't remember exactly how much as it seemed to be abolished long before 2000, but I'll bow to your superior knowledge. IIRC, the act in 2000 was just to close a loophole that some absentee landlord who lived furth of Scotland managed to exploit through his lawyers.
I'm not 100% sure however.No man has the right to fix the boundary of a nation.
