a building that like mentioned should have been made into a full time Museum by now...
Which would still then be in need of repair...
That's assuming it doesn't just get sold off, of course.
It could have gone to our NHS that desperately needs additional funding.
Why not just burn all the money?
Burn it, or give it to the rich people... because that's where it IS going in the NHS. Layers of middle-management cut costs by underfunding the NHS and cutting staff, instead paying out to outsourced consultants and contractors, who in turn pay dividends to their foreign investment shareholders.
Meanwhile, the lack of nurses, support staff and resources continues, the NHS fails and is replaced by private health care. Good one.
They're Germanic, but technically not German.
The Angeln and Saxons originated from an area that was more Southern Denmark than Germany.
Not the Scots, they're pureblood picts.
For the most part, the Scots have had a lot of Norse blood thanks to the settlers. There was a programme (BBC style) that showed how certain areas of Scotland were genetically almost entirely Norse (Icelandic or Norwegian, I think) and even most of the local place names were Norse rather than Celtic.
why a king of Scotland inherited the throne of England in the 17th century).
That was because the grand-neice of Henry VIII, who was in line to the Scottish throne, married her first cousin who was also in line to the Scottish throne. That made their kid next in line for both thrones.
Mostly about marriage and nothing to do with genetics, although if you want to split heirs (geddit?), the Tudors were Welsh.
The whole idea of "pureblood" is nonsense. As far as we can tell, modern humans in Europe, Britain and Ireland aren't even "pureblood" homo sapiens. The same may well be true of people everywhere.
Only a filthy little Muggle-born Mudblood would say that!!!
There's more to the UK than tourism money on the backs of the RF. France had the right idea. They decapitated their Monarchy and look at how much tourism they enjoy today as a Republic. People are still going to come here, RF or no RF.
That's because France still has a rich culture, a long history and amazing food.
The UK has rain, benefits fraud and The X Factor..... and we're not even allowed to take pride in that, without being called racists!
Ditch the RF and that will set the precedent for ditching any other aspects of our culture and history that can be sold off... but the thing is - you won't see a penny of
that money, either. The government still need their final salary pensions and selling the remaining gold reserves won't be enough any more.
