"The monarch will touch down in Clackmannanshire on Thursday, January 16 to mark the first visit from the head of the royal family to the area in nearly 30 years."

Burns got it right.

He wrote this wonderful verse more than two centuries ago - yet we're still having abject parasites like Toby Young imposed on us.

"Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that,
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
His ribband, star, an’ a’ that,
The man o’ independent mind,
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that."

This is desperate, even for The Guardian.

"Stonehenge may have been erected to unite [sic] early British [sic] farming communities, research finds."

(PS No mention can be found in today's online edition of the #BelieveInScotland poll result yesterday that 59% would be in favour of a #ScottishIndependentRepublic.)

Hold the bus...

"If Scottish independence meant that Scotland would be a republic - meaning the King would no longer be the head of state, so Scotland’s governance would be fully democratic and not a monarchy - how would you vote if there were an independence referendum tomorrow?

"Republicanism moves independence support from 54% in the same poll to 59%."
