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.

Get the william wallacemug. 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.

Get the Carlos Latuffmug. Branch of Christianity. Protestants believe that Jesus is the head of the Church. They reject Papal authority and the percieved excesses of the Catholic church.
Protestants are also remarkably unpopular amongst a great deal of people due to the actions of a small number of them. But in the most part they are simply Christians who wish to worship without a central authority, without a buffer between man and God and without the ritualism of other branches of the faith.

Jack became a Protestant after attending a Church sermon.
There are tensions in Ireland between Catholic and Protestant groups.
Graham dislikes Protestants because he is an Athesist.

Get the protestantmug. Gerlad Ford fell down the steps of Air Force One! He just did a Ford!
I might do a Ford and forget to wear clothes in front of my Mother-In-Law.

Get the Do a Fordmug. A teacher at Virginia Tech. He died when a student went on a killing spree. Liviu Librescu survived the Holocaust. He survived in Communist Romania. He was a very smart man and, in his final moments, proved himself a hero. Liviu blocked the door to his class so his students could escape. He was shot around five times but his noble sacrifice acheived the desired end. His class (save for one) escaped to safety.
If any of you want a definition of selflessness then look no further than this man. Life had given him a bad deal from childhood yet when push came to shove his compassionate, brave spirit could not be crushed.
He is burried in Israel. At last beyond the hardships of this world.

Get the Liviu Librescumug. A local legend in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. A small seaside town in South Eastern England.
The story of the Ratman has some variants but the core result remains the same.
That under a tunnel, sitting just near the residence of the Mayor, there looms a figure that resembles both a rat and a human being.
It will screech in the middle of the night and attempt to chase out people walking through there at night.
One version of the story tells of a local tramp and headcase. Who lived in the tunnel, being paralysed and unable to leave.
One night a group of drunken teenagers beat him to death and stole what little food and clothes he had. As he was freezing to death he could see rats scuttle forth to consume him. He swore revenge on the town that had abused him, and is now the Ratman of Southend, a vengeful spirit that hates the young and healthy.
The other version claims that the Ratman was the deformed son of an old Mayor of Southend. He was born hideously deformed, with a rodent-like snout, jagged teeth and a rotting stench about him.
The Mayor had the tunnel constructed to hide his secret, as the child was also the result of an adulterous relationship.
The Ratman still lurks there to this day, alone in the dark and waiting for any tasty humans to cross its path.
The story emerged years ago and reappears from time to time, via bizzare signs posted on lamp-posts and telephone poles.

Shaun and Craig ran under the tunnel of the Ratman, to see if he would try and eat them.
The story of the Ratman being the Mayors deformed son, shares some thematic similarities with the mythical tale of the Minotaur.
I have personally heard screeching in that tunnel and momentarily thought it was the Ratman.

Get the Ratmanmug. 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'.
