Thread Name: the pretender is a folkie
Subject: RE: the pretender is a folkie
No particular axe to grind here (except maybe that of an executioner), but I remember hearing some contributions on the wireless in Scotland from some Frenchman, I think, who also claimed to be the rightful claimant to that particular throne; a duke or something like that. Has either of them thought of doing what Thomas Paine records from the time of the American Revolution; offering to give up the claim for a substantial financial consideration?
