Let’s stop this nonsense once and for all!
Londinium, the year was 43. No, not 1043, 1943 or 2043? The year was actually 43. You take 40 and then you add 3 (according to Western European calender 43 years from zero).
That’s when Claudius was Emperor of Rome. Londinium or London as it called nowadays was founded in 43 by the Romean Emperor Cladius according to the books we have.
That is a long time ago and that is still 75 years or so before Hadrian decided to build a wall because he got tired of the barbarian Northern tribes (I haven’t seen the wall with my own eyes, but the wall is still there… until this day. I know this to be true.).
The Empire ended there and beyond the wall there was (literally) nothing.
Honestly, how could there be something beoynd the Empire’s border? Don’t be ridiculous, will you!
Londinium is also apparently the sixth largest “French” city in the World (television station France 2 claims so)? Supposedly the equivalent of Bordeaux, the city? 300 000 French citizens in Londinium? Surprincing to me.
The Swedes? Yes, and many others, that is what cosmopolitan still means. Good news, if you are a cosmopolitan that is!
I’ve come to realise that we don’t value culture as we used to do, but the very best contemporary music emanates from this specific location and it has done so for decades. So, what is going on?
I urge you to claim your own republic or if Her Majesty the Queen wants to get onboard? That’s all fine and like a walk in the park and it will be a monarchy. You need to do this in a hurry, you need to do this now though! Article 50? You need to act now (Are you Scott or Irish? Well, it most certainly applies to you to)!
2000 years of history?
PS. UK’s moto is in French (I did not know this either) and it reads: “Dieu Et Mon Droit”. That would be: God and My Right or possibly God and My Law. I don’t know.
