A proposal has been made that William Joyce and Lord Haw-Haw be merged. A merger discussion wasn't started, so I am doing so. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 22:56, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

The singer/actress Yoshiko Yamaguchi was in a similar position to William Joyce after the second world war, but suffered a very different fate. She was born to Japanese parents in Manchuria, but used Chinese names given by her (Chinese) "godparents" while studying and working in Peking. From 1938 she acted in films of a propagandist nature, often portraying a Chinese girl who falls in love with a Japanese man. She used the Chinese stage name of Li Hsiang-Lan and the impression given was that she was herself Chinese. Chinese responses to her behaviour were mixed. Soon after the war she was arrested for treason, but was released after being shown to be of Japanese birth. She was allowed to go to Japan, and resumed her career there and later in Hollywood (as Shirley Yamaguchi) and Hong Kong, married an ambassador and served three terms in the Japanese Senate.
If the English judiciary had been as independent as that of the Republic of China, William Joyce would have been acquitted, though he might not have been able to resume his broadcasting career and probably would not have achieved high office in either Germany or the United States.

User:Beyond My Ken your preferred column choice may look great in your browser, but only uses half my browser width, so looks bad to me. The fact that it uses fixed columns is also objectively bad. It is also against
H:COL But don't use this variety to set numbered or bulleted lists in columns, because "col-break" breaks the list up, which is a problem for accessibility.
so instead of edit warring over this, you will want to self-revert as against the how to guide, or get wider consensus for your contested edit.

"aggresive"? I suggest you refrain from words like "shitty" [5] and not talk nonsense and address the actual issue! Widefox; talk 07:00, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Why was Joyce sentenced to death when Donald Grant was only sentenced to serve six months in prison? ( Xerze1 ( talk) 17:54, 9 May 2020 (UTC))
