Re: LCC Election results
I see from yesterday's Telegraph that the new County Council leader refers to the rose as the 'Tudor Rose'. What an idiot! The Red Rose is the rose of the House of Lancaster. The Tudor Rose came about after the accession of Henry Tudor and combined the red with the white Yorkshire rose as a gesture to unite the previously warring elements and became the rose of England - but I don't need to tell you lot that, do I?
Someone, though, needs to have a word in this fool Driver's ear, because if we're going to start sticking a Tudor rose on the LCC letterhead instead of the Lancashire Rose we are going to look a complete bunch of plonkers.
