  1.  @WJ4321  Should people of the peninsula of Anglia/Angel/Angeln -- which peninsula gave its name to England and the English -- pay reparations to everybody in the UK (and many people in Ireland)?

  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Copenhagen_(1801) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_K%C3%B8ge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Copenhagen_(1807) Where's my reparations, huh? England attacked Denmark early in the Napoleonic wars (1801) not because we were allied with France -- we weren't -- but because we were neutral. And we tried really hard to stay out of those wars. Then they did it again in 1807 -- the only reason why England could get away with it the second time was that practically the entire army and navy were stationed down South to prevent an attack from the French and their Spanish ally! After the unprovoked attacks of 1807 we joined the French... Who were the honour-less perpetrators? "Heroes" like Nelson and Wellesley (Wellington).

  3. The potato blight happened everywhere. Ireland was the only place where the peasants breeded so incessantly and irresponsibly that only potatoes could realistically supply enough food given the land resources and the contemporary technology so it was the only place with a full-scale famine. Not the UK's fault.
