Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

Brunenburgh was in 937AD so next year is the ever so meaningful 1090 anniversary (not that any decadal or century or millennial anniversary has any more real meaning than the 738th anniversary beyond being able to count to 10 on our fingers ....)

Also very few parallels from what i can remember - Athelstan beat an invading army to unify 'England' but was nothing to do with empire building so what does that have to do with Scots, Irish or Welsh wanting to step away from England?

Sorry. 927 is when Aethelstan became the first ever King of England. So 1110 years next year since that.

Brunenburgh was the last time the Celtic nations united to confront England, but the end result of that was actually the cementing of English identify. The SNP-CUP-PC meeting this week just reminded me a bit of that alliance, and that actually their future secessions would be the catalyst for forging a new England.
