Subject: RE: DTStudy: Bonny Dundee
Sorry for having hijacked the original subject, but I literally had just found the political parody today, after looking at the topic, which is why I hadn't fully read it.

But it shows the potency of the use of the work in Scotland. Even the 'original' which it parodies had references to 'Whigs', and wittily the author uses the pun on big-wigs, and along the way has a pop at Churchill's military reputation! Would they have called him an old 'blaw haird' in some regions?

Anyway, that is all...   

I think I'll adapt it for Donald Trump.
