Notes on forum pic: the Isle of Man celebrates Tynwald Day on 5th July. The Tynwald is the Manx parliament, and the Isle of Man still has independence, but with the United Kingdom holding suzerainty, which means the UK handles defence and foreign affairs. In the late 20th century, this led to a spanking-related scandal, because the Isle Of Man wanted to continue birching teenage boys on their bare bottoms, while the United Kingdom was falling into line with European Union recommendations to stop doing that. Bare bottom birching of boys by court or prison officials, as shown in the pic, was theoretically legal until 1993 in the Isle of Man. One of the last boys to be threatened with it, a 16-year-old Scottish boy who had been convicted of assault, actually requested to receive the birch instead of the possible detention that might have been his alternative.
