Civilian, you said we have "technically at war with Germany and have been since WW1 at war with Germany
since WWI.
As I said, no we haven't. Even if you are implying that no cessation of hostilities had been agreed at the end of WWI, you're wrong, as the Versailles peace treaty of 1919 formally ended WWI. Even if it hadn't the end of WWII closed it.
You may be refering to the myth concerning Berwick-upon-Tweed which states that it had been included in the declaration, but not the cessation, of WWI and was, therefore, still officially at war.
This, however, is incorrect.
It was only until the Reform Act of 1885 that Berwick had the status of a `Free Burgh' meaning that it had to be mentioned separately in Acts of Parliament.
It was, supposedly, the
Crimean War that had to be declared in the name of Great Britain, Ireland and Berwick Upon Tweed and in which the peace treaty was Berwick's name was omitted. If Berwick was still technically at war with anyone, it was the Russians.
And even that's probably a myth.
So please, tell me exactly how we are, in any shape or form, "technically" at war with Germany?
