What, you want people to be slaves?

@@poppypalais3108 hahahaha the bit about ruling the waves as i am sure you figured out

But, it is a cautionary, not a triumphant statement. While we rule the waves we won't be slaves to anyone. These days it isn't warships on the high seas, but nuclear powered and armed submarines under them that keep the tyrants at bay.

@@yozzer6449 erm we were the tyrants, that comes with an empire that spans the globe. we are most definitely not a first class power in the world these days

@@somthingbrutal It was written before the British Navy became the most powerful in the world. It was sung more a celebration of the navy being able to deter slavers from taking british people in raids. (Though it's original meaning appears to have been commenting on the royal family of the time.) For over 300 years raiders from North Africa took slaves from Britain and other european countries, something which doesn't get much of a mention these days. Perhaps people from Devon and Cornwall should be asking Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia for reparations.
