The Falklands was settled by mostly Scots + Welsh and many Scots died fighting to stop the third world slum Argentina invading it. These are more than likely fenians, if not just disgusting traitors.
18 June 1815 - Today marks the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.
On this day, the British Army under the Duke of Wellington, fighting alongside its allies, defeated Napoleon and brought an end to his ambitions in Europe. Waterloo became one of the greatest victories in British military history. British infantry stood firm under relentless attack throughout the day, enduring artillery bombardment, cavalry charges and repeated assaults before finally driving the French army from the field.
The name Waterloo became synonymous with courage, discipline and determination. It cemented Wellington's place among Britain's greatest commanders and remains one of the defining moments of the British Army's history.
We remember today the soldiers who fought and died on the fields of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. 🇬🇧

The Cameronians were among the hardest men produced by the British Isles.
They were the most uncompromising of the Scottish Covenanters. While others eventually accepted compromise with the Crown, the Cameronians refused. They believed Christ alone was King of the Church and wanted no bishops, no state control of worship and no Popery.
Hunted across the moors of Scotland during the Killing Times, they held armed field preachings with loaded muskets beside open Bibles, knowing government dragoons could appear at any moment. Led by Richard Cameron and Donald Cargill, they endured imprisonment, torture and death rather than betray their covenant before God. Richard Cameron himself died fighting at Airds Moss in 1680, outnumbered and hunted to the end.
The Cameronians would rather die in the hills than bend the knee. 🏴🇬🇧
Actually, old bean, I’ll be in the USA for many of the World Cup matches. I will be cheering on Scotland, England, France and the USA.
If England plays France or USA I will cheer on England.
If France plays USA I will cheer on France.
Whoever Scotland plays I will be cheering on Scotland. Always.
I trust that clarifies my position. I know it troubles you a lot and that this full explanation will help you sleep better.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The Solemn League and Covenant reminds us that there was once a vision of Protestant unity across the nations of Britain. English and Scottish Protestants standing together in defence of Scripture, reform, liberty, and the crown rights of Christ. Not divided by border, but united by faith and purpose. 🏴🏴🇬🇧
“For Christ’s Crown and Covenant.”
I went to The Boys' Brigade as a kid at the local Methodist church. It wasn’t just games and keeping kids busy, it was about discipline, Christian manliness, respect, and learning how to carry yourself properly. I still remember marching round the streets on a Sunday behind the band, uniform on, church first, and that sense of pride and belonging. Their motto was “Sure and Stedfast” from Hebrews 6:19, and that summed it up well.
It was strongly Protestant in origin, tied closely to churches, especially Presbyterian, Methodist, and other nonconformist traditions. It even influenced later groups like The Scout Association, with the Scouts borrowing a lot from the same model. It taught lads duty, steadiness, faith, and character. Something worth bringing back properly.
Most Americans who call themselves Irish aren’t talking about the same thing as the famine Irish of Boston and New York.
A huge number are really Scots-Irish — English and Scottish border stock, Protestant frontier people whose ancestors came out of the borderlands, were planted in Ulster, then pushed into Appalachia, Tennessee, Kentucky and the South.
Not Dublin. Not Cork. Not the tenements. A harder, older story of border clans, rifles, honour, feuds, distrust of authority and life on the edge of empire.
The green beer version of Irish-American identity hides a lot. For millions, the real roots are English, Scottish, Ulster, frontier, Presbyterian, hill country and rebellion.
Different people. Different history. Different temperament. 🏴🏴🇬🇧
