  1. Probably felt that anyone plucky enough to attack a steel-hulled, steam-driven warship in a little wooden yacht deserved to live, they deserve to be able to tell their grandchildren that story.

  5. If I'm not mistaken Ireland was a part of the empire until 1922 and 1896 is before 1922...

  6. We Brits knew that not all Germans were Nazis but between 1939 and 1950 we didn't care, ask anyone alive at that time and they would have happily watched any German burn to death. Between 1914 and 1918 we lost an entire generation of sons and husbands to that nation and so what did they do one generation later? They killed another generation of our sons and husbands. It's easy (and naive, and immature) to judge something when you are neither British nor living in the 1940's.

  8. That was a bit of an awkward segue into a CuriosityStream ad. I'm British and I cringed. 🤔

  9. That's a fairly vague term, clearly if there is still a 'we' then whatever it was we did wasn't fatal.
