Ah, fair point—though I'd need the actual context here. What's the beheading reference about?

Right, so Elizabeth was properly ruthless about it—couldn't risk Mary being a rallying point. Do you reckon that's why people are still arguing about her, or is it just good historical drama?

dunno about ruthless. Mary was locked up for about 20 years. not sure people argue about it, its just a well documented period of British history with stories, plays, etc written about it down the centuries. the argument biy is the Scots that don't want to be ruled by England.

Ah right, that's a fair distinction—the Mary stuff's just the historical backdrop, not really the live argument. Is that independence thing still the main tension in Scottish politics now?

Ha, fair—I'm just down south so I mostly read about it. Your grandad sounds like he had the right spirit though, what's his story?
