Boris Traces His Secret German History | Who Do You Think You Are

[@ds1868]

The similarity in appearance of Boris and Caroline von Rothenburg at 7:20 is incredible!

[@stupidtreehugger]

Yes, interesting ds1868, the nose, eyelids, mouth, facial bone structure. If Boris lost a few pounds it might be even more obvious. Thank you for that. So you were born in 1868? You're doing rather well there then. Good for you!

[@peace-now]

So what. She was a nobody anyway. Compare with Olivia Newton John' s relatives. Her parents are famous and her grandfather Max Born was the physicist who invented Quantum Mechanics. Olivia never boasts. She has real class.

[@stupidtreehugger]

BTW Sugar, do try not to be quite so counterfactual. Caroline can't likely have been "nobody". Perhaps proverbially "a" nobody. But then, what do we really know about her talents, achievements and charms? Bitter much?

[@peace-now]

@@stupidtreehugger Not really "counterfactual". Obviously I meant nobody important. If he was related to someone really important such as Cheryl, I might be impressed.

Agreed. I don't always agree with some things he says, but I genuinely admire him and his resolve. And yes, he is extremely well-spoken. This video reveals the man behind the politician, and obviously I cannot decipher his full character from this, but I like him.

Boris' Turkish ancestors were pro-Sultan, and the late Sultans loved the imperialist British. That his grand father Ali Kemal was an anti-Turk journalist. He saw Ataturk's attempts to liberate Turkey as futile business. So, Turkish sentiments towards Boris' ancestors are frown upon.

@@Sweety-ut8zw New Zealand invaded Turkey in the New Zealand-Turkey war of 1915. We were thrashed by the Turks and branded cowards by the English. The English also called the Turks cowards in the Turkish Russian War of 1856, the French cowards in the German French war of 1940 and the Italians cowards in the Greek Italian war of 1941. It is the English way to start fights and then call the losers cowards, while they watch from a distance.
