Britain has never be so humiliated

[malvolio]

Perhaps find a civilisation throughout history that wasn't built on the use of slaves ( impressed, enslaved, indented or economically dependent, it matters not which: in the UK feudalism was merely state slavery) and this argument might have some merit...

As for America, the problem there is that a large proportion of their mongrel nation still think deep down that "black" equals "sub-human" and that infests all of their dealings with anyone who is not white. Australia, admirable as it is as a place to live, is still heavily racist, but in their case it is in terms of origin, not colour. The American issue is about racism, not slavery.

IMVHO the focus has to be about stopping current slavery practices - which are widespread if less blatant - and leave the past alone as the exemplar of why stopping it is necessary.

I'm triggered today, so I'm wibbling on to try and defend my xenophobic ramblings

Poor Vetty. Truss's cabinet really has upset you Wailers.

I'm making tulip up, playing the race card and insulting people because I like to ignore facts from reputable sources

FTFY

Sorry if you only judge people by the colour of their skin,gender or sexuality and assume everyone else is sad like you. Did you want to brag about your earnings, penis extension hairdresser car or perceived sexual prowess now?


The cabinet member that surprised me was JRM a particularly brave choice IMO. Lets see if he is as good as he thinks he is.

Lots of Eton & Oxbridge talent in it, would be nice to see a few more comprehensives and normal Universities represented.

A few more women which is good. With a little bit of luck they will behave better than the men and not grope etc. random researchers.

At least the defence minister was from the military.

Not sure that the choices are all based on clear talent not allegiance.
