It belongs in its proper home, the British Museum.

70s and 80s were shit. The 30s and 40s? Thanks, I’ll take today.

If I want to explain the class system to someone from a former colony, I start with colonialism, but practised at home.

English and thr Irish… it’s savage all the way down.

That it was murder is not yet proved.

No, it wouldn’t make much sense. The government has beendefunding the police for a decade anyway.

Because the opposite of Nazi is rule of law.

Negative real interest rates.

I also thought of Debian.

In the UK squat toilets still get called French-style despite not beong found in France for generations.

Or pink.

There were multi-generation serfs and indentured labour in the British isles. There were also slaves taken from the isles, though a very long time before then.

Slavery was never lawful in England, though it existed. Obviously it was allowed in the colonies. (Before anyone bites my head off, yes England did benefit massively from the trade, and its legacy persists in eg placenames in Bristol etc - I’m just answering parent’s query)

There was substantial indentured labour and serfdom in England too. Surely simple redistributive tax based on wealth is fairer?

Anyway how do you determine whos ancestors had slaves, or weren’t involved, or were slaves? You want to start tracing bloodlines?! Should the English pay the Irish?

England’s really not violent at all.

A patent is a state-granted monopoly.
