Not really English

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2015)

I have no problem with the film as entertainment, what I object to is how the film was used by the SNP in the recent referendum, to condemn the English out of hand:
I should like readers to know that it was Norman-ruled England led by Edward 1 of the Norman line of succession to the throne, that inflicted injustices on Scotland. The English(Anglo-Saxons) before then, had little desire to rule Scotland, yet to the present day it is the England of today that is subject to the vitriolic hatred from the Scots. These attacks are then misguided, by reason of their original premise, that Edward was as English as Churchill. In movies it is artistic License, in politics it is false accusations and fomenting of trouble by inaccuracies and this is dangerous folly!
