    Greyblades never said the British fought a righteous war. If you're going to talk about windmills, perhaps you should show some self-awareness by not building some for yourself to tilt at.

    BTW, perhaps you should look at a list of South Africa's PMs from 1910 through to the abolition of the position in 1984.

    1 Louis Botha
    2 Jan Christiaan Smuts
    3 James Barry Munnik Hertzog
    (2) Jan Christiaan Smuts
    4 Daniel François Malan
    5 Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom
    6 Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd
    7 Balthazar Johannes Vorster
    8 Pieter Willem Botha

    Proper old-fashioned Anglo-Saxon names, every one of them. Taking orders from Westminster as befits an obedient puppet of the government in London.

    That's racist. Why can't Englishmen cross-name or have a name-change when they felt dutch all their lives? Would you deny them entry in an English restroom?
