wrote a whole book about how the Brits were executing boys and men for engaging in homosexual acts all the way through the 19th Century. Her purpose was, in her words, to debunk the myth that the Brits stopped executing gays much earlier. She based her findings on court entries saying that the accused's death was "recorded." On a radio interview with a Brit, however, she was politely informed that "death recorded" meant pardoned. The live interview is attached here. It is absolutely wild.
I genuinely love the British. They will politely filet total morons and then never talk to them again.
