The Empire ships were a series of ships in the service of the British Government. Their names were all prefixed with "Empire". Mostly they were used during World War II by the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT), who owned the ships but contracted out their management to various shipping lines. Some ships requisitioned during the Suez Crisis were also given the Empire prefix. They were acquired from a number of sources. Many were built for the MoWT, others obtained from the USA, still others were captured or seized from enemy powers.

Is the insistence on saying ONLY "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" anti-Jewish?
Q. Isn't one reason for businesses to say "happy holidays" simply because we have a substantial Jewish population? Does the current insistence by fundamentalist evengelicals that we should only say "merry Christmas" mean they don't want to acknowledge Jews? I'm comforted by all the people who believed that saying "Merry Christmas" isn't anti-Jewish. Clearly, then, saying "Happy Holidays" isn't anti-Christian either. So let's just accept that there is no war on Christmas!

A. The whole thing is dumb, because the ACTUAL holiday is winter solstice, a pagan holiday. And Jesus wasn't born in the winter. So the christains decided to do this christams thing during winter solstice, to discourage paganism. The reason for the history lesson is to show that NONE of it had to do with religion, it all had to do with poltics and intolerance of other religions (or lack thereof)
