Well, that’s certainly the part they like to talk about constantly isn’t it?
I mean, in the 19th century London was the biggest city in the world, and like most cities was very progressive. If you look back now and judge from our current lens then it looks really conservative but people in the streets campaigned to end slavery, and the British government outlawed slavery across the whole empire and used their very large and impressive navy to enforce these laws. Just because some private individuals made vast profits off of selling slaves to the US doesn’t mean it was legal or even a popular thing.

You brought it up. How is slavery in England’s history even relevant to dangerous dog legislation in the UK now? Which I assume isn’t the country you live in.
You limys really get mad when anyone talks about how you love to export dangerous ideas and practices don’t you?
Oh totally! Makes my blood boil with rage!
Whatever, man.
