Seems to be correct though - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/navy-to-replace-chinese-servants-for-security-reasons-s6z2xdz7vSounds like BS to me. A laundry on board a navy ship would typically be operated by lower ranks staff, not 'servants'.
OMG! I can't believe they continued doing that without reviewing it years ago.Seems to be correct though - https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/navy-to-replace-chinese-servants-for-security-reasons-s6z2xdz7v
Maybe they'll have to do their own laundry now then?
They probably whitewashed that info years ago!OMG! I can't believe they continued doing that without reviewing it years ago.
I am also from Wearside,it’s not something I was even aware of,quite sad,those poor kids.I'm from Wearside and I've never heard of The Victoria Hall disaster. Now it may just be because I'm a relatively new father but that story actually brought tears to my eyes.

Germany also had a colonial past.
Germany has handed back the human remains of indigenous people killed during a genocide in colonial Namibia more than 100 years ago.
A Namibian government delegation received the skulls at a church service in the capital, Berlin.
The bones had been sent to Germany for now-discredited research to prove the racial superiority of white Europeans.
Tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people were murdered in response to an anti-colonial uprising.
It is thought that 75% of the Herero population and half of the Nama population died.
The skulls of some of the victims were sent to Germany where racial anthropologists studied them as part of an attempt to justify a theory about the superiority of Europeans.
There are thought to be hundreds of Namibian skulls in Germany and on Wednesday more than 25 remains were handed back.
Skulls from Germany's other African colonies, including modern day Cameroon, Tanzania, Rwanda and Togo, were also used in the discredited studies.

George Russell enthusiasts have gathered in Dublin for the launch of an appreciation society dedicated to his memory.
Note:
I found this when researching the historical urban legend (probably not true) that maidservants would satisfy young elite sons manually. I don't believe that.
On a lighter note, I did not know until today, that there were so many willy depictions in the Bayeux Tapestry.
I do. Where there are men in a position of power over young women, the women will be exploited.I found this when researching the historical urban legend (probably not true) that maidservants would satisfy young elite sons manually. I don't believe that.

We may both be wrong in this case. This is what Reddit says (maybe not the best source, but this sounds legit):I do. Where there are men in a position of power over young women, the women will be exploited.
