Mr Grasse starts this section by saying "well not piracy exactly" so in other words the British don't support piracy! Make your mind up Mr Grasse.
In actual fact the basis of this argument is that Queen Elizabeth (the first - just to let you know Mr Grasse, as you left that bit of information out) issued a "letter of marque" to certain sailors, let me just say that this is completely true, it did happen (but then so did just about every other seafaring country in the world).
A letter of marque is now illegal in all but one country, can you guess which one? That's right America, as it is written into the Constitution.
