Sean Connery was a proud Scotsman but he didn't live in Scotland nor did he pay taxes there.
Ian Hislop had a great comment about Connery on HIGNFY.
Connery famously had Scotland Forever tattooed on his arm, Hislop said if you roll up his sleeve a bit further it was proceeded by the words, I'm Leaving.

Me neither, he is on record saying slapping a woman if she got out of line was OK....Twat.
These people who leave their birthplace and crack on they are proud to be from wherever they were bred and born are a joke. Lulu from Scotland, Cilla from Liverpool, they couldn't wait to leave as soon as they got a bit of cash, but amazingly, their accents were thicker as if they hadn't spent a day away....when it suited them.

Getting all misty eyed when they talk about 'home' it would make you boak.
Sean Connery or 'Big Tam' as a lot of folk call him here wasn't popular at all.
Brian Cox is another one that won't shut his face about how great independence would be all from the comfort of his fancy hoose in America!!

Elon Musk has bought Boing!
He seems to have a bottomless pit of money.
They were 18 and 21 when they shot their parents so if they were both being abused why not just leave?
One bought 3 Rolex watches, flash cars and the other one hired a tennis coach to turn him into the next Jimmy Connors.
I'm a bit sceptical about abuse claims that come out when folk are dead.
@ Madders...what's The general feeling in America about the Menendez brother's?
Yes it seems to be the norm now to claim abuse.
No corroborating evidence of abuse, just some cousin who claims it's true and they might have bribed them.
They could have gone to the police but choose murder instead.
It all sounds a bit iffy claiming abuse when they were arrested.
One step closer to getting released now too...
Like Jeremy Bamber.
Murdered his parents, sister and her two wee boys.
There's forums about that case, two sides arguing his guilt or saying it was Shelia.
I joined one and left when the forum owner blamed it on the family dog.
Dog?
Guess who. Very famous in the 1960s. American actress. Try not to google. I would never have guessed.
I'm watching a documentary about Barlinnie Prison.
It's probably the most infamous prison here and is usually called "The Bar-L" or " "The Big Hoose"
It's getting closed in a few years to make way for a new super prison.
Jimmy Boyle is being interviewed.
You would never know he had a habit of nailing people to doors and was once the most violent man in Scotland.
Seems so affable now.
Funny how many change as they get older. I always think though that evil streak is still inside them.
No.
Her....
Granny.
Blimey 😲
