[@FishMcFish420]

Bumping this!

[@Murdo2112]

I think I'd accept that the videos were produced before the scam issue became widely known. However, the fact that they're still pinning comments promoting "holiday sales" is a clear indication that they aren't concerned about the uproar they're receiving on almost every video recently. Perhaps they think they're a big enough channel that they don't have to worry about pissing off a few subscribers. They're wrong. We can live without one of a multitude of decent history channels far better than they can live without subscribers, if people stand by their principles and unsubscribe. That's exactly what I'm going to do, right now.

Always amazing how much geo-political maneuvering can be packed into a relatively small space like the British Isles.

[@saltedllama2759]

An island that was under Roman rule for centuries, but far enough from Rome that it had many of its own customs and noble houses. In the aftermath of the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and complete loss of imperial stability, some wanted to continue that way of life (but it wasn't sustainable), or vied for independence. It led to nearly 1000 years of fracturing, allegiances, backstabbing, usurping, conquering and being conquered, familial changes, etc, until they became the greatest naval power with ports in every time zone on earth.

While the spelling is different from English, the rules for it are actually pretty simple, and few of the sounds are not common in English (and of those, they tend to be relatively easy for a native English-speaker to pick up).

@World Citizen Edward never exerted the degree of control over Wales to manage an extensive slave population. And no, Edward imported entire towns of English to build and maintain the castle-town occupation system that he set up, to the extent that it nearly broke the English coffers. And, for that matter, slavery in Wales DID have what amounted to a minimum wage during the Middle Ages. The law codes afforded them certain rights and their situation was more comparable to serfdom than chattel slavery.
