You chaps were the ones who devised drawing and quartering and keelhauling, weren't you?

Cheerio!

But then on the other side of the coin we were one of the first nations to ban slavery. So we're not all bad. Grin

I could be wrong but I believe Keelhauling was mainly done by the Dutch, and even then not really after the 17th century,

I'm not in the least bit suprised about this. Torture happened then, it happens now and will happen in the future. C'est la vie.

I think that the Teletubbies are a clear breach of the Geneva Convention and a particularly cruel and unusual punishment Shocked
