He might have done, as King John signed the Magna Carta at Runnymede. Phillip of Spain (who was actually jure uxoris kingof England, but that's another story) might have signed the Maga Carta at Runnymede as some sort of tribute. Part of Runnymede is American land.
Very good-it would be interesting to know how many on here understand that.
From the Grauniad in 2008:
When the teenage daughter of Earl Spencer ordered a taxi to take her to Stamford Bridge on Easter Sunday, she was looking forward to seeing one of the most eagerly-anticipated fixtures of the Premiership season.
But instead of watching Chelsea play Arsenal in the west London stadium, she found herself in rural Yorkshire, 230 miles from the match.
The journey from the Althorp family estate, near Northampton, to the Chelsea stadium should have been a straightforward 85-mile trip down the M1 to London. But when the driver entered his destination into his sat-nav it sent him 146 miles in the other direction, to the village of Stamford Bridge, near York.
I might start watching for a confidence boost. It is indeed a terrible thought.To be honest the amount of people willing to celebrate British history without a basic understanding of it is pretty shocking. Perhaps a basic history test before you can join Laurence,s new heritage party could be amusing enough
It's a result of lefty, pinko commies not teaching proper british history in schools. They'd probably have been right on it if they had been asked something about slavery or Churchill's war crimes.
This is why we need Farage in charge and we need it now.
