    When one looks at the number of inventions the Scots have come up with over the last couple of hundred years, one has to be incredibly impressed. In fact, I can see Scotland leading the UK in the Brexit years ahead.

    Since moving to Wales I have noticed how the UK is focused on London, then South-East, then North of England, then other countries. It means much of the UK is under utilised.

    And I'll bet that your list does not even include the deep-fried Mars Bar either.

    Amazing how quickly a joke thread about the Daily Mail got your back up and had you lashing out like that.
    Actually the Reich was about conquering Europe & bringing many states under one government.Just like the USSR

    The period is also known under the names the Third Reich (Drittes Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", with the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire being the first two)
    The final solution and the master race were about "Aryan Purity". Though if you are afraid the EU is going the same way it is rather understandable.

    The Pogroms in Russia were about removing the undesirable elements.

    They are two separate things in both cases. If you can't distinguish between them you need to go back to school.

    I suspect though with France & Germany lurching to the right it won't be long before we see some nasty stuff emerging.

    I don't think I am losing so I won't bother to insult you.

    I'm in favour of the monarchy. I suspect that your "finding" is entirely made up in your own head.
