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
Fair enough. I know that she was able to stand against the Romans fairly well, where as so many before her had not been able to.
Coming in late here, but that’s right...there is actually no source for that quote. I imagine some woman thought it sounded Helen Reddyish and it just took off from there.
I give the woman credit, though...and I love British history. This find is intriguing to me.
