I have seen Braveheart
once and that was quite enough. I could not believe that such a
distortion of history could be taken seriously. The sentiment behind
it is racist, I should say anti-English, and it is a crime against the
English nation. How sad that so many easily-influenced American
teenagers, not to mention other foreigners, actually believe this
drivel.
The film seeks to demonise
the English while presenting the Scots as saints. This is very far
removed from the truth. With regard to Scotland, the Scots had been
attacking English towns, burning, raping and murdering, for
centuries. These attacks were largely the result of greed and the
famous Scottish lust for violence. The Romans wisely built a wall to
keep them out. Since 1603 the Scots have lived off England like
parasites yet are still constantly moaning about their alleged loss of
freedom. The Scots wanted to sign the Act of Union and the English
have quite literally paid for it since.
Independence for
Scotland? I think you mean independence for England! I know of no-one
in England who sees any advantage in any form of union with Scotland
as the greedy Scots are constantly demanding more for themselves. As
for freedom, it is England that is shackled to Scotland and I
sincerely hope that one day England will be rid of Scotland. It is
without doubt one of the bleakest and most miserable countries I have
ever laid eyes on. One thing I will say for the Scots - they are
well-balanced, they have a chip on both shoulders.
English people are
becoming increasingly aware of the inequality between the two
countries. Unlike Scotland, England has no parliament, Scottish MPs
sit in on matters that purely affect England whilst the reverse is not
the case. The English taxpayer receives 23% less per capita than the
Scots. We are absolutely sick of you Scots and your constant whingeing
and you have little understanding of the hatred that is growing in
England for Scots. How wonderful it would be if a geological fault
would develop on the northern side of Hadrian's Wall and send Scotland
floating off into the frozen wastes for ever! How much wealthier the
suffering English civilian would be!
The spreading of racist
propaganda, in the form of a film such as Braveheart, is despicable.
It incites hatred with its lies, and that is its prime motive. It
makes heroes out of cruel, savage people. I have never heard the
English praise the savagery of Edward I and for the Scots to delight
in the murderous cruelty of Wallace is simply further evidence of the
myth that man is a civilized animal.
You should be ashamed of
yourselves for promoting the appalling Braveheart. Given Gibson's
track record for delighting in violence, I think it is typical of him
that he should be involved in such a masterpiece of cheap savagery.
There is a poem entitled "The Mills Of God" which I think applies to
this type of fanaticism. Violence breeds violence. You should be
ashamed of yourselves for producing this sick website. there is enough
evil in the world today without Braveheart adding to it.
