But at least they kept the lights on...

On one of the islands they actually built a death camp for post invasion British Jews iirc. Imo if anyone is being silly it's that paper, my grandfather was sub editor or something there years ago, I doubt he'd recognise the paper now sadly.

Vichy France that rounded up more Jews than the Nazis asked for, they need reminding of that at every opportunity imo until they recognise their history
