Dundee opposed Billy the usurper, assassin of the De Witt brothers and the MacDonalds of Glencoe. I toast the little gentleman in the black velvet waistcoat!

We should have stuck with the Lord Protector !

Oliver Cromwell: the Tony Blair of the 17th century.

In time TB will be stoking the fiery furnace!

Respect to grahamb. He finds the time to come on here and post a few words and still fit in his day job as The Times Cryptic Crossword compiler.

17. Tony stokes the fiery furnace (8 letters)

First letter's B. I've got a T or an S at the end.

I avoid everything produced by News International. The Dirty Digger (Rupert Murdoch) is a friend of the aforementioned Blair.

Matthew 13:41-43

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Scotland is the most pro-EU region in the UK
The survey shows that Scotland is the region most in favour of staying in the EU, with 60 per cent of respondents wishing to remain.
The least positive region about EU membership is East Anglia where 53 per cent want to leave.
The figures could be crucial in the event of a �Brexit� vote as Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP First Minister, has previously stated that demand for a second independence referendum could be "unstoppable" if taken out of the EU against its will.
London was the second most enthusiastic region for EU membership with a 55-45 per cent split.
Overall six UK regions back continued EU membership compared to five where a majority of voters wish to leave.

Of course, scotty will not be happy with the above survey.

The old and young generations can't agree on the EU
There is a huge gulf among young and older voters over the European issue - with almost two in three young voters backing the European Union.
63 per cent of those aged between 18-29 want to remain in the EU, while 56 per cent of those aged over 60 want to leave.
The middle-aged population are almost evenly on the issue.
As older voters are more likely to vote, this could be good news for the "leave" campaign.

University educated people are most likely to want to stay in the EU
When it comes to social class and education, those with university education are most likely to be pro-EU - with 62 per cent of graduates wishing to remain in Europe

I'm still undecided about the referendum, so let's churn out a few more biblical chapters and further yawnful obscure quotes as that really helps.

I'd hardly call the Rivers of Blood speech obscure. Whatever your opinion of Enoch Powell, he was a coherent, articulate opponent of Britain's membership of the EEC (as it was in those days).

I am torn between reading the omens in a slaughtered cockerel and throwing the I Ching. Perhaps I should simply decide on the basis of tossing a coin.
