Greetings Pammygranate,

The banner is the view of the Thames from my apartment balcony taken by a friend of mine, this is quite easy to do if you use Wordpress.

You could say I’m a regular at Steve’s blog, however I quite often find myself arguing against rather than with the other regulars.

Probably problems with anti-spam. I thought the article was excellent and it is much needed to remind people of today's other forms of slavery. There is enough and at the same time, not enough to celebrate. I left a comment and I am not seeing it. Probably problems with anti-spam.

What? They've only just noticed? If not by action then by omission of action our establishment has permitted some very nasty and exploitative practices to take root in this country. But hey, let's all focus on apologising for things that happened 200 years ago instead I despair...

The fact that the Royal Navy drove the slave ships off the oceans <i>two hundred</i> years ago is something the British should take pride in and celebrate. If our nation cannot take pride in that what can we take pride in? And this apology nonsense is chunder-inducing in the extreme and a blatant attempt to cash-in on the suffering of people who are now long dead. But it's easier than working to alleviate the exploitation of the living isn't it As I've commented in my own blog, maybe somebody will get around to apologising for today's suffering in another 200 years time I’ve written a post questioning the motives of some of the people behind abolition but that doesn’t detract from the fact that abolition was a good thing.

I DID slavery but your points are very different so bunged a link to this from mine. (Always like anything that saves effort, me) Excellent.
