I was aware of the British taint in cable news, Comedy Central, and Hollywood, especially since that day when some people did something, in fact, I cannot buy groceries without seeing magazines glamorizing British nobles. The taint is everywhere, so it makes sense it would be in our classrooms too.

The loving cup itself is an interesting historical example of British colonial propaganda. It is a symbol of the “special relationship” that it decides it has with its subjects.

Historically the making of them can be traced back to the period of the establishment of pottery factories in the English Midlands and the Lunar Society (from which the term lunatics was derived). This was a society that met on the full moon and comprised entrepreneurs and enlightenment scientists of the day. Benjamin Franklin was known to be amongst their connections.

The monarchy soon caught on to the propaganda value and would commission limited editions or bespoke cups for coronations or symbolic cultural ties with its “allies “.

Yes, I would expect any of those "traitors" to be mischaracterized in Britannica... although I do think Paine may have some niggling issues if I remember correctly... (but who knows, that could be British propaganda too!) LMK if you find out! Please.
