The British slave trade ended in 1908 with the Abolition Of Slavery Act. Very few slaves ever arrived in the UK. A slave was valuable in the colonies whereas domestic labour was inexpensive here. http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/mus/slave5.htm Any slaves brought to England were legally free. The church brought great pressure to bear on the employers of enslaved people and surviving documents dating from 1690 provide ample evidence of slaves bringing actions to obtain discharge from enforced employment in this country. riccip
(Paul Varnsverry) wrote in Well, fingers crossed, eh? It kind of sums up part of the problem though. They often make pointless law - laws for the sake of it, it seems. And even when they're not pointless, as I suspect in this case, they don't apply them with much regard to common sense.
Sort of. As Germany slips further into recession a point of panic will occur and traders will be dumping the Euro like it's poxed, in favour of the Dollar which is a bargain at the mo. When it shoots beyond a certain point they'll switch to the Pound. riccip
Really? Thanks very much for the tip. I'd been told to shred them but that's great. BTW Germany is probably my fave overseas country, we often visit Bonn/Cologne. I'll be there in July and will raise a weissbier to your health. riccip
Anti-non-Tory? I don't understand. We were talking about voting trends in a possible referendum on the constitution. riccip
I know several Welsh people who didn't encounter a word of English until they entered primary school. What of the many immigrants, with British citizenship and the right to vote here, who were born in in other countries with different languages, and in some cases, don't have very good English?
Then they'd be a little young to become an MP. But we were discussing MPs. I don't know of any British MPs who can't speak English, even the Welsh ones. riccip
riccip wrote No it didn't. My paternal grandmother was sold into slavery in the UK in 1914. She was kept as a slave in London until my Grandfather bought and married her in 1919.
Please let's not get tied up in semantics. Anyone can say anything they like in this country without fear of criminal prosecution so long as it's not contravening a law. I've covered this as best I can in another post. An action which is perfectly legal here but against EU law can now lead to extradition and trial overseas for that offence. No need. Studied it at school and seen it in the flesh. We have. It was signed by William Of Orange in 1698 and founded Britain's constitutional government. riccip
