Thread Name: Bonnie Prince Charlie - Good or Bad
Subject: RE: Bonnie Prince Charlie - Good or Bad
well yeh he was definitely a bit an arsehole. However theres a statute of limitations - think how many tins of shortbread he's sold for you guys over the years. And the whisky bottles....

thens theres all the poems , songs, novels....

he may have been responsible for the depopulation of the entire country, however he initiated a thousand industries inside your country...

face it you could have done worse for revolutionary leader. You could be trying to flog Osama Bin Laden Dundee cake in a tin, Che Guevara Griddle cakes,

None of them wore a kilt either - good marketing move!
