Irritates? Hardly, Your Lordship. Actually I find it quite fitting, in a way. "The Iron Duke," indeed. He earned that epithet for buying Iron shutters because enraged workingmen kept breaking his windows at Apsley House (10 Downing Street not being good enough for His Grace) over his pigheaded opposition to the Reform Act. All the love from Waterloo was gone by then, and the true measure of the man shone through.



Ah yes, that would be the same wonderfully progressive Reform Act that explicitly disenfranchised women for the first time. The later reform acts were much more significant milestones on the path to true democracy.

I'm surprised you havent stood for Parliament yourself. Aren't there any Rotten Boroughs left in Britain?



It's hilarious how whenever we clash in a thread, you manage to veer off-topic and onto your general hatred for the British, as you project your bizarre stereotypes onto me. Newsflash dude: It's a porn board. You really think you can infer so much from my chosen avatar? Do you realise how much of a tool this makes you look?

I couldn't care less about having Wellington as my avatar, but now he's got up your nose so much, I think he'll stay there. I just find it amusing that you harbor such distaste for the man who emancipated the Catholics of Ireland.
