Richardson, Spens and Rosebowl

[John Blake]

Although I live in England, I'm a pure Celt without a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in me, and I bow the knee to nobody as regards my pride in my racial background..

Have you had a DNA test to confirm your assertion ? Was there ever really a people called the Keltoi ?
Is race an outdated concept in this century or are we are all essentially one species ?
Is your pride not in your social, cultural, moral, educational, legal, industrial, religious and political, etc background ?

I'm sure all our MPs will behave responsibly, though Alan Reid (ex Argyll & Bute and ex Ayr Chess Club stalwart) will be a great loss to the House of Commons chess team.

Anyway, is this not a chess forum ?
