Re: "Then the British crushed the slavers in East Africa."

Thanks - I was not aware of that.

I do recall that the British were combating slavery and slave trading inside Kenya during the pre- and post-World War One period.

How about the slavery that goes on RIGHT NOW in the Middle East and Africa?
UK paid their dues generations ago. No one alive today should be held responsible for the slave trade 160 years ago.
This is just grift.

Plenty of lunacy in public policy at the moment

The more they get what they say they want, the worse the behavior gets.

Ok, so pay us back for the cost of our revolution. Lots of men lost.

Yep. Kenya, Zanzibar, and the Sudan. The slavers in Sudan were a big part of the Mahdist armies.
