In common with other blogs, I feel that I should mark this fine day: 200 years since Nelson and the British fleet of 27 ships, defeated a combined French/Spanish fleet of 33 ships at Trafalgar. Personally, I think that we should have a public holiday.

However, I doubt it will happen—in fact, I'm surprised that the government aren't ruthlessly clamping down on celebrations, for fear of offending our European "allies".
As a celebration, and this is very cool, The Monarchist is liveblogging the battle...!
