Was there a connection or did someone just think it a good idea. If there was no connection to Drake then this is a much ado about nothing, name change all the time.

Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Jan 2023 8.12am) When will people wake up and realise that this is part of our replacement? Are people really so stupid that they think we need to 'save' 90% of the world population who aren't White Europeans, and yet not try to save ourselves?

I challenge anyone to find a pair of Oak Trees near Scawen Road in Deptford which is where the school is. There is obviously a huge historical connection between Deptford and English naval history.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |
