anglophobia

Someone who hates the English peoples. This can be due to past human rights abuses, wars, racial or religious hatred or a good natured rivalry.
France and England have a mutual dislike steeped in history which is a big part of both cultures. France is Anglophobic and England is Francophobic.

Scottish nationalists would be happy to watch English children die because their anglophobia comes from a deep rooted racism.

Al Queda is anglophobic because English people are mostly Atheist.

Henry VIII

King of England. He is known for marrying seven women. Two of which were beheaded for a variety of reasons. He also attempted to remove the Catholic Church from England through widespread destruction, looting and executions. The greatest threat to his rule was a revolt know as "The Pilgrimage of Grace" who were led by Robert Aske. Due to Henry VIII's ruthlessness and powers of deception the ringleaders were eventually rounded up and executed.
Won the Battle of The Spurs against the French and declared "Defender of The Faith" by the Pope, a title that Monarchs in England still hold to this day.
He is remembered as a tyrant but arguably did much to add legitimacy to the crown after years of bloody civil war between the Lancastrians and the Yorkists.

Anti-President

Any figure in a Republic who claims to be the President of that specific nation despite not being elected by the popular vote OR claiming to be the President even whilst an elected President is in office.
Jefferson Davis, as head of the Confederate States of America, could be considered an 'Anti-President'.

william wallace

A Scottish rebel immortalised in the film Braveheart. Despite claims that he murdered men, women, children and religious figures there is no doubt that he fought bravely for his cause.
Eventually he was defeated and subjected to the worst form of capital punishment ever devised. Hanging, drawing and quartering. First dragged to the gallows. Then hung. Then cut down. Then gutted. Then beheaded and cut into quarters. However, this punishment did not have the desired effect and Scottish rebellions would continue for many years.
To this day Wallace remains both a national hero and, to some, an excuse for Anglophobia.
I hate the English. Look what they did to William Wallace!

The execution of William Wallace intensified the resolve of Scottish rebels.

Carlos Latuff

A Brazillian cartoonist and very picky humanitarian. Latuff would have you believe that he cares about all the peoples of all the world. But that's just bullshit to cover up his hypocrisy and racism.
Truth is, if you're white or American the chances are he hates you.
The only people this faggot likes are Palestinian terrorists who want to use bombs and gangsterism to make their pointless lives even more pointless.
Oh, and Latuff The Humanitarian is also bosom-buddies with the Iranian regime, considering he went to one of their charmind Holocaust denial conferences and drew a pretty picture to demonise the Jews - his most favouriteist scapegoat of all time.
And yet he's idolised by the young, neo-Anarchist crowd who can't see what a self-righteous, pathetic, backwards cunt he really is.
Carlos Latuff champions democracy in poorer countries but does not want to DISCUSS his militant, offensive views.

Carlos Latuff urges people to feel compassion for Palestinian "freedom fighters" but mocks the deaths of US servicemen.

Vlad The Impaler

Vlad Tepes, Prince of Wallachia, was a figure in the Medieval era who has become connected with the Dracula legend. Forget bloodsucking, this guy was in to much more hardcore stuff. He impaled friend and foe alike. One he turned back a Turkish army when they saw thousands upon thousands of their comrades dead on wooden stakes. Once, when an envoy refused to take off his turban in his presence Vlad had it nailed to his head.
Of course, this didn't help Vlad when the Reaper came knocking for him. Eventually he was killed, by the Turks or rebellious nobles we cannot be sure. But his head was cut off, preserved in honey to keep it sweet and then stuck on a pole.
Despite his apparently hideous crimes Vlad was a good ruler. He insisted on total loyalty from his people and his ruthlessness aided him in his war against the Turkish invaders. When first ascending to power one of his first moves was to imprison the treacherous boyars who probably killed his father. And rather than heap favours upon old Lords he apparently prefered to knight members of the peasantry.
Although, as we've seen, it wasn't enough to save him.
Vlad The Impaler was a horribly cruel man but an effective warlord and disciplinarian.
