Still not good to have been in the Silver Medal Position in the race to bring them in. The Afrikaner’s have not forgotten. Strangely, we Scots get off lightly as they tend to blame the English not the British - a message there perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely bronze position if you count the American civil war camps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly nothing to be proud of, and we can’t say that a big German or Spanish boy did it and ran away… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War_concentration_camps No Germans or Spanish involved in the concentration camps in Scotland, just Poles. Rothesay became Polish sovereign land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 wow! Ta, Albionsaint - never heard of that. I appreciated a long-term Polish community in Scotland (and reactionary/religious views) but never knew of concentration camps…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 And…. Just saw your US post. appalling, practically understandable… and helps make sense of long standing resentments between north and south…. ….not to even mention how non-white prisoners may have been treated!
