Harold Godwinson (King Harold II) claimed that he was the rightful heir to the throne, and considered Williams' claims to the throne as unlawful.

In the end, William won, and wrote the history books, but apart from right by conquest, was the throne really his? After all, the Witenagemot had chosen Harold as the heir of Edward the confessor.

What's your stand on this issue, and why?

DE has a reputation of being privacy-concious. And at the same time their intelligence services have repeatedlly been exposed of conducting something nasty.

The point is that they have been exposed. And there are actually investigations underway, so they are way more advanced in Germany than in the UK, France, or US, where the governmental snooping seems to be accepted.

So you are picking them up at the coast of Lybia, but instead of dropping them off in the next Lybian harbor, you ship them across the Mediterranean and try to deliver them to Italy. Why?

By helping them across the sea you generate success stories, which will lead to even more refugees trying this route. At one point, there will be so many refugees that nobody can rescue them anymore in their sea-unworthy suicide nutshells, and they will die, thanks to private rescue services like you.

So why are you making the situation worse with your action?
