BOADICEA

I was whipped by the Romans when they tried to take our lands — and now I am fighting for my freedom. Think how many of us are fighting and why. We must win this battle or die. Let the men live as slaves if they want. I will not.

No disrespect and I am a fan and student of Queen Boadicea and used to view the great Thornycroft statue near Westminster bridge back when I lived in Londontown

But that quote has been regenerated by fembots to their liking......she never said that ...

She was quite familiar with statecraft as queen while her Icenjan husband had peace with the Romans for years....she knew you didn’t antagonize those you wish to die for the cause.....and when she made that speech they all knew their chances were poor....

Taunting the men in that fashion

According to Tacitus....I think....she said.....”as for this woman....I intend to fight.....I ask all to follow me or feel the Roman yoke”

That’s my memory at 3am and paraphrased but the nuance makes a difference

Its disingenuous for feminazis to claim a wrath driven warrior like her as their idol given today how they as pillars of the Left detest war...at least in our defense
