I remember reading that after Bonnie Prince Charlie defeated George II's troops, they went to Holyrood Palace and then out of anger at losing, slashed all of the paintings in the gallery like the paintings did nothing to harm you bros i-

Johnny English (2003, Peter Howitt)

15/02/2024

Johnny English is a 2003 film directed by Peter Howitt, the first in the saga of the same name.

Starring Rowan Atkinson with Natalie Imbruglia, Ben Miller and John Malkovich, it is an action comedy that parodies the spy story genre, in particular the James Bond film genre.

Johnny English is a British secret service agent, inept and clumsy, and for this reason relegated to office work for some time, although he continues to dream of becoming a real spy in the field.

English is tasked with thwarting a plot to steal the Crown Jewels, on display at the Tower of London; here he meets Lorna Campbell for the first time, a woman as fascinating as she is enigmatic. Meanwhile, during a blackout the regalia is stolen. English and his assistant Angus Bough, a young colleague who often proves smarter and more intelligent than his superior, despite relying on rather unusual investigation methods, discover that the jewels have been stolen by Dieter Klein and Klaus Vendetta, two German thieves low-grade; however English connects them to Pascal Sauvage, a wealthy French entrepreneur with many gray areas in his past. However, the man is very well regarded by the establishment across the Channel, so much so that Pegasus, English's superior, considers such conjectures absurd and orders him not to get involved.

Despite this, English and Bough decide to disobey and illegally enter Sayvage's London headquarters, looking for evidence that can confirm their suspicions: here the two discover that the man, a descendant of Charles Edward Stuart, aims to become the new king of England. Lorna also arrives, who turns out to be an Interpol agent, also interested in the entrepreneur's shady plans.

With English aware of their plots, Sauvage speeds things up and sends Dieter and Klaus to force Queen Elizabeth II to abdicate, also causing the entire Windsor line of succession to be swept away: so the English government has no choice but to offer the Crown right in Sauvage, last heir of the House of Stuart. They arrive at the French residence of Sauvage, where the man has invited numerous internationally renowned criminals to reveal his plans once he becomes monarch: to transform the whole of England into the largest prison in the world.

Discovered and taken prisoner, English and Lorna are saved by Bough and, once back home, rush to stop Sauvage's imminent coronation. English wreaks havoc during the ceremony, initially sparking laughter among those present in Westminster; however, when he manages to steal the crown of Saint Edward from the hands of the archbishop of Canterbury, the only one with the power to appoint a new monarch, the true nature of Sauvage emerges and he tries to kill English and threatens the archbishop himself, forcing the ceremony.

The Skye Boat Song - Ella Roberts

"The Skye Boat Song" is a late 19th-century Scottish song adaptation of a Gaelic song composed c.1782 by William Ross, entitled Cuachag nan Craobh ("Cuckoo of the Tree"). In the original song, the composer laments to a cuckoo that his unrequited love, Lady Marion Ross, is rejecting him. The 19th century English lyrics instead evoked the journey of Prince Charles Edward Stuart ("Bonnie Prince Charlie") from Benbecula to the Isle of Skye as he evaded capture by government soldiers after his defeat at the Battle of Culloden, in 1746.

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing Onward! The sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye

Loud the wind howls, loud the waves roar Thunderclaps rend the air Baffled our foes, stand on the shore Follow, they will not dare

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing Onward! The sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye

Many's the lad fought on that day Well, the claymore did wield When the night came, silently lain Dead on Culloden field

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing Onward! The sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye

Though the waves leap, soft will ye sleep Ocean's a royal bed Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Watch by your weary head

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing Onward! The sailors cry Carry the lad that's born to be King Over the sea to Skye
