Hi Anthony,

I'm blushing

Actually, the point isn't that it's brilliant research on my part - it's that this is well known, openly available material to anyone that has the slightest interest in the period (the Gildas reference is unforgivable!). It isn't buried away in scholarly articles.

The man just doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

God is our guide! from field, from wave, From plough, from anvil, and from loom; We come, our country's rights to save, And speak a tyrant faction's doom: We raise the watch-word liberty; We will, we will,we will be free!
