"Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade officially began, with royal approval, in 1663. In less than 150 years, Britain was responsible for transporting millions of enslaved Africans to colonies in the Americas, where men, women and children were forced to work on plantations and denied basic rights." and yet I was told last night that Britain was never involved in slavery by a British person... People can remember things differently, but there are also many facts that are verified by a plethora of financial and logistical documents...

@MrMmcdaid9 I think after Ms Fulani had explained at the start of the conversation that the documentation of her ancestors was missing when taken to the Caribbean as slaves, she should have added 'by your ancestors most likely Lady Hussey'...

@MrMmcdaid9 Agreed, while all the wrong things change for the worse. I've been alive for 50 years and seen things get steadily worse for workers in Britain. The government becoming more authoritarian, Orwellian and the workers becoming more obsessed with tabloid proper gander than stats and facts.

@indivisible4835 Thank you and agreed.

@mrharry448 History is for weirdos! :P Whenever I see Jacob Rees-Mogg I can't help but think of the 1800s and Whitechapel. Flickering shadows cast by an oil lamp post dance around a cloaked figure. A scream pierces the pitch-black midnight silence that hovers over London like an ominous warning. The sound of a cane cracks against the cobbled pavement as a red pool reflects a blood moon with the silhouette of a nefarious character in a cloak and a top hat. Jack the Kipper...

@mrharry448 Veronica? Vera? lol if only I'd lived in Victorian Britain I'd probably know, I'll ask Reese-Mogg :)

@mrharry448 I just enjoy belittling him for all the poverty his lies have brought to Britain. I'm just glad Jacob Resse Mogg isn't a privileged elitist tax-dodging hypocrite who obfuscates and provides no useful service to the UK other than providing a good example of how to be a century or two out of date in thinking and fashion style. It so refreshing to have such a down-to-earth man of the people who understands what we are going through during these difficult times...
