‘The British opinion of all this was interesting, to say the least. “So, it’s OK to secede from us, but damn them from trying to secede from you.”’

Actually the opinion of the Brits was ‘how barbaric, the institution of slavery’ and thats why they didn’t intervene.

You can look that up, btw.

Why look it up, when you can make it up?

That’s not all they thought on the subject. Otherwise, why allow Confederate agents to operate in their country?

They didn’t formally recognize over slavery, but to say they didn’t help or sympathize to an extent is not accurate.
