Port Edgar

On this day in working class history, the 12th of October.

[upbeat music] On the 12th of October 1919, 150 Royal Navy sailors mutinied and broke out their ships at Port Edgar in the UK upon hearing that they were being sent to the Baltic to fight against the Russian Revolution.

The desertion prevented the first destroyer flotilla from departing.

Most of the mutineers were arrested and 10 imprisoned, despite the government having pledged that only volunteers be sent to fight against the Russians.

No, but like it's in particular things where there's no competition.

Water, electricity, train tracks, Port Edgar Marina, I mean, you name it.

[laughs] Um, am I insane for getting a few jerrycans of extra diesel? My little brother's just been giving me abuse, and he's a boat owner, but he says I'm a crazy prepper for having multiple jerrycans of diesel laid aside.

And I said it's like liquid Bitcoin, except you can actually use it, not like Bitcoin in most scenarios.
