Horowitz, Part Two

 

1. One of the first things the socialists in Britain did when they were elected in 1997 was introduce a new Law and Disorder Act in 1998.
   Section 36 of the Act abolished the death penalty for all offences of treason and for the offence of piracy with violence, replacing it with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

   Interesting eh? So now they have sold Britain out to the EU socialist superstate they wont have to face the death penalty for treason.

2. One minor quibble: the French Revolutionaries didn’t depopulate the Vendee in order to “eradicate superstition from the world"- or at least that was not their primary objective in doing so-: the main reason for the massacres there was the fact that the Vendee was a Royalist stronghold that bitterly rejected the “Republic’s” control (due to various reasons, including the Paris government’s HIGHLY oppressive attitude towards religion, but that was far from the only reason), and they gave them so much trouble that it was eventually decided that the only way they were ever going to pacify the region was by “pacifying” the populace straight into the ground.

   But other than that, it is a rather nice summary.
