    I see. However we were talking about how hubristic and arrogant the British were for using their entire fleet to enforce a domestic law, yes?

    Show me another time in history that this has been done. Moreover please furnish me with an example of any country in the world that operated for the whole of humanity.

    I wont go on about the moral stance we took not so long ago that also served the whole of humanity.

    Perfect? No. Not by a long stretch. Malevolent? Certainly not.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
