[Magdalen] (SPAM: ?) Litany of British saints for use by those who want Scotland to say "No"

[Marion Thompson]

The particular incident wasn't just a bit of infighting and feud. It was 
a total breach of the rule of highland hospitality.  The MacDonald were 
taken in by the Campbells in their hour of need and the Campbells fell 
on them in the night and murdered them.
Anyway that was 50+ years ago and I was young(er) and more 
impressionable, but I still think those particular Campbells did a bad 
thing.  So there.

Our history, 'what happened a long time ago' does so have an impact on 
our lives today.
Butterfly wing beats and all that.
