    I wonder if he feels safer over there from the powerful guns and all…he’s curiously tight lipped about anything to do with his decision leave.

    Ha I only know 2 things about them…Shame for the Angel, and I’ve owned Kusworth’s Bounty Hunters album since I think 1988.

    I still believe. I'm less familiar with American Jacobites. I did go to St. Mary's City, MD, which is the birthplace of American religious freedom.

    He moved years ago. We had a beer at a Crew game in the old stadium just before he left.

    Your obsession with him shouldn’t be surprising considering your posting history but you sound like an idiot.

    It’s not an obsession, it’s just curiosity. How can anyone implore people to stand up, protest and fight back when they themselves fled for safety reasons?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobitism

    Jacobitism[c] was a political ideology advocating the restoration of the senior line of the House of Stuart to the British throne. When James II of England chose exile after the November 1688 Glorious Revolution, the Parliament of England ruled he had "abandoned" the English throne, which was given to his Protestant daughter Mary II of England, and his nephew, her husband William III.[1] On the same basis, in April the Scottish Convention awarded Mary and William the throne of Scotland.[2]

    The Revolution created the principle of a contract between monarch and people, which if violated meant the monarch could be removed. A key tenet of Jacobitism was that kings were appointed by God, making the post-1688 regime illegitimate.

    A somewhat eclectic choice of political philosophies for someone on the left :)

    I’m going by what the guy told us…

    …sounds like he’s saying y’all need to stand up but don’t expect me to.

    And for whatever reason he won’t discuss this in the broadest most general way so I don’t know what to make of our Birmingham fan who might be in England, could be in Wales…do you know?

    I understand that too which is why my questions have been broad and not at all specific, go back and read page three of this thread...I'm not asking him to disclose any specifics.

    Anyway, apparently I'm the only one who finds this a little curious so if everyone wants it dropped, that's fine.

    I do, at least I did, but it’s not my story and it’s irrelevant regardless.

    We do need to stand up, you disagree? Or are you just being a dick?

    I hope this won’t be like all of the other times you’ve promised to drop something, and then didn’t drop it.

    I moved to the UK in 2018 and any moron with the ability to search my posting history on BigSoccer can probably pinpoint exactly when I did. I will not provide further details due to doxxing, but Stanger has met me in-person. Within a month of the move, actually.

    "Exit" isn't just moving. We're not visiting the US until this is over. We have withdrawn all US-based funds (lol, we emptied one tiny account -- we're Millennials). We do not buy American-made goods sold here. We use European-based services whenever possible.

    I will miss my grandmother's funeral, and my niece's wedding, in the next year.

    Delete your account and piss off to whatever squalid hole you live in.
