The UK splits with Europe - disaster looms

[BrilloPad]

Are the same Tudors from a TV series with dubious facts where the King of Portugal shows up with a big nose, unkempt with no teeth.?

It was the sister Mary rather than Margaret that went to get married to the Portuguese king. However it was felt viewers could not cope with 2 Marys.....

Yes but Tudor England looked a bit pathetic compared to the continental empires led by Portugal and Spain as they dominated colonisation of the Americas.

American Colony.

Poor Law

All good achievements for a marginal flank power. I heartily recommend this book (a bit out of date now) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ris...e_Great_Powers

Notice Henry VIII's hair wasn't red? Plus Anne of Cleves wasn't ugly.

Its 1532. The UK splits with Europe over Papal authority. Disaster. The UK will never be the same again. For the last ~500 years the UK has been a 3rd world country.

Theresa May let it slip she was giving up crisps for lent.

Catholics like to play the long game.

No-one likes a "Strawberry blonde". Look at Neil Kinnock.

Though he had another disadvantage. Being Welsh.

CofE people adhere to Lent also.

You seem to know SFA about other religions. I now know why my practising Christian relations didn't and don't send their kids to Christian schools. They don't want them to turn out as ignorant and bigoted as you.

And success after the Portugal Alliance.

Yup - The Anglo-Portugese Alliance (1386) (the oldest in the World still in effect)

I'm just going to say this might be a bulltulip story.

My brother and his kids would have probably be interested to talk to you but they don't like bigots. My sister and cousins simply wouldn't be arsed.
