Is the Ghostbuster game any good? Seems there is a good Switch port. @SeeDeeMcLeod
Stephen Yaxley Lennon, but he changed alias to Tommy Robinson for some unexplained reason, and Daniel Thomas insists on Danny Tommo. Name changers everywhere.

Rory Stewart, Brentish autistic over compensationary death stare to a "woman" to retain liberal values.
Milei is Trumpan, i.e., Greenlanding, i.e., 19th century filibuster rhetoric. Chuck some more troops in Andy.
Vintage English royal historiography is odd, basically seeing 1066, opression by Norman foreigners, as starting date of England's history. House of Wessex fleetingly cited, Alfred and his Cakes,whilst all your Mercian & Northumbrian kings - all to the manor born - are bypassed.
So we get lots of Williams and Rufuses and Henrys and good sturdy English stock like Oswald and Edgar are jettisoned
History is never black and white. So Ireland was Janus like in WW2. Britain found herself allied with Stalin who, allied with the Reich, tore apart Britain's casus belli, Poland, in 1939, installing a puppet during Cold War. Most people forgive Finland.
The "Scotland as opressed and colonised" is the biggest historic dodge in recorded history. It is like having a smelly dump in your girlfriend's toilet and blaming her cat.
Do Celt nationalists not understand any history? "Englishmen" was associated with recusancy, crypto-Catholic epispocal Laud wetness, whereas Scotland held a thorough reformation under the discipline of Knox, anti-Papal, predestined. It was from the latter Ulster was planted.
Furthermore, Scots presbyterians made a pact with English Parliament and therefore (drum roll) Oliver Cromwell. English royalists would be more liable to support the Gaelic Catholics than Lowland Scots.
And they did! Arthur Aston commanded the garrison at Drogheda.
Oliver Cromwell is so misunderstood that the shit he should be pelted for he isn't and the abuse he does receieve is for stuff he didn't do/espouse. He is like a historic figure who has been twisted inversely.
