burntcopperOur dept has been busy having hysterics and deconstructing the English Democrats' mayoral vid for London elections.
So far, we've concluded that :
a) It's not safe to be Scots in his London.
b) All of the Scots' innovations don't count for a pile of beans. (tv, telephones, anaesthetics, etc, etc...)
c) he's carefully not including that London gives a large amount of money through taxes to *all* of Britain. Not just Scotland.
d) This is the country of St George. So, er, we're not living in England, we're living in 4th century Turkey.
e) Irish aren't welcome either.
f) Given how much he's going on about St George? The only certified dragons are Komodo dragons from indonesia. So he's anti-Indonesian, too...
g) all the stuff about surveillance. technically it's less than Elizabethan times.
h) Kids carrying blades and gangs roaming the streets. You mean *all* of London's history?
Oh, and via the medium of poking my cousin Mark*, apparently they're not connected to the UKIP as they're EU sympathetic, but I'm not holding out any hope.

Pretty much spread around europe because he was seen as an icon of chivalry. Which has me boggling a tad, since Romans weren't known for chivalry.
