@torinthestorm@lewnerys According to the author there are Starks scattered throughout the north especially in places like Barrowton. And obviously there’s Bael the Bard.
@torinthestorm@lewnerys Definitely this. Not just for the Starks but all houses, as there’s canonical precedent. House Lannister descends from a Lydden who married a Lannister woman. Harry Hardyng is the heir presumptive to his liege lord’s liege lord ( House Arryn ) and no one bats an eye etc
Rightly sacked from the Government, Churchill then pretended to be a battalion commander on the Western Front (he had never commanded more than about 30 cavalry troopers in reality) allowing his Adjutant to do all the work. While wearing a French helmet for some reason...
He was the political head of the Royal Navy in 1914, and, as always, red hot for war. Trying to micro manage professional RN Admirals thousands of miles away, he got many British sailors killed.
@Anglokinist I think more highly of run-of-the-mill-metropolitan-liberal types for having actual opinions than “High Tories” who think one day they’re going to own swathes of land and go hunting on Boxing Day. MasterBrew must answer for his crimes.
@The_Clermontian The country suffered terrible casualties in the South African war, yet 13 years later ‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori” was still very much the mantra of our military class.
These people are morons.
@The_Clermontian @EoghanHeriot Starks would just go to your seat, behead you in front of your own heart tree and then take one of your daughters for himself. Also the First Night practice is Unique to First Men and Valyrian Houses. Andal supremacy! Glory to the Seven!
@The_Clermontian @EoghanHeriot The show didn’t help the perception of Northerners/Starks being wholesome chungus feudal overlords. If you rebelled against ur King/Lord Paramount in the South you could demand trial by combat (Duncan Vs Lyonel) and possibly make amends…
@khartoum_of In a similar vein, I once worked with an elderly Gujrati woman who talked quiet fondly of the Raj, and showed me pictures of her grandparents at a Delhi Durbar alongside the King-Emperor.
She also loathed Dalrymple.
Tomorrow is the day.
We retake London, a sea of patriots are coming.
We've had a week of Muslims and roma gypsies showing us the worst of Britain.
Tomorrow we showcase the best of Britain 🇬🇧
See you all there.
