    Explanation: Rome once controlled the area of Britain depicted. Irredentism is indefensible bullshit. Modern Israel has a right to exist, because expelling people en masse for the deeds of their grandparents is also indefensible bullshit, but it should never have been formed to begin with. Obviously, I am opposed to ethnonationalist policies, including the eviction of Palestinians by Israel for settlements illegal under international law. Yes, this is political. No, I do not actually believe that Br*tish don’t deserve self-governance. Though I wonder if it wouldn’t improve their cuisine

      Ahem. Hadrian’s wall?

      Thine reach exceeds thine grasp.

        Actually the map shown appears to cover up to about Hadrian’s Wall, whereas Roman fortifications can be found up into the Scottish Highlands (Cawdor for instance). So it seems that their grasp might be significantly less than their reach.
