    It was incredible that they managed to abolish slavery, the compensation was a bribe to the owners to allow them to do it. It nearly didn't happen. No that isn't fair.

    Many other countries carried on with Slavery for decades Nutters such as Daesh are still into it.

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Modern slavery includes bonded labour.

        Have some conversations with some Bobs and you will find out some of them are in what appears to be bonded labour.

          Well slavery is still pretty rife

          In a single country — India, which is the worst offender — there are currently 18 and a half million slaves. To put that into perspective, there are six and a half million more slaves in India right now than were imported to North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands combined during the entire history of the transatlantic slave trade — 373 years, from Columbus’s discovery of the Americas to the end of the Civil War.

              You'll be fine. You have already run away to Germany. Angela will look after you, as long as you are prepared to rent your spare room out to a refugee!

                  Unfair - immigrants going to Germany are fussy.
