By 'the English' does he mean himself, Nigel Farage? It doesn't seem as if they were 'attacking' anybody else.

I admire the way the UKIP is quick to chastise and disown racists and yobs. But no...

I've never seen Brave, but when I do an image search for Merida I can't help noticing that every single publicity image for the film shows her with a bow. It's interesting that the 'princess' version...

Love it!
