Feud over where to bury Richard III
"No one could accuse the Brits of a lack of passion for their history. As the feud continues over where to bury Richard III, the head of the York Minster church is getting hate mail, AFP reports. Nine of Richard's descendants have called for his reburial at York, where he had royal ties. But the UK has left the matter in the University of Leicester's hands; the school says he'll be placed in Leicester Cathedral.
"Not all are pleased with the decision, and some of the letters sent to the Dean of York 'are so extreme that she has referred the correspondence to the police ...'"

Apparently the Brits take their history as passionately as their soccer.

It should be taken seriously - he was our king, our head of state - and so deserves due respect.

RE: Feud over where to bury Richard III
Really, he killed his nephews and was killed in turn by our king who I also expect deserves our respect . They were all thugs who lived off and abused the rights of ordinary people. Stick him back in the car park

I can speak for most Americans who have no English heritage who cares?

Really? You have the proof that no one else has that he murdered his nephews? Wow - you should write a book you will make a fortune.
Yes Henry VII was our king too and has our respect - he is buried in Westminster Abbey - where Richard III should be laid to rest too.
They were all thugs and lived off and abused the rights of ordinary people? Yep, that sounds like most politicians I know - although probably with a little less thug (except John Reid or Ed Balls) and a bit more leeches.

More to the point - who cares what foreigners - who have no English heritage - think about things that don't affect them?

They do not deserve your respect because - as you have made plain previously - you are not a monarchist, which is fair enough. However, most of us are. God save the Queen [&o]

RE: Feud over where to bury Richard III
Wales is a separate country that is part of the United Kingdom. They have their own parliament with limited powers. They have a strong culture and in parts of Wales Welsh is the first language.
Scotland is also a separate country that is part of the United Kingdom. They have their own parliament with more powers than Wales and are voting on leaving the United Kingdom.
Ireland is a totally separate country.
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom with its own limited parliament.
Hope this is clear, it is a bit complicated.

But the question was - is there a Welsh movement in England?

Yes the Welsh, like the English, the Scots and the Irish all have their own nationality and thus identity/culture - in addition to a British or United Kingdom identity.

RE: Feud over where to bury Richard III
I think the question comes from a flawed understanding of the complex political landscape of the United Kingdom. I notice Americans often use the word England for the United Kingdom. This not a criticism of Americans, since I don't have a have a great knowledge of their political system.

I'm from the U.S and I believe Richard III should be in Westminster.
