Forgive a slightly off-topic question, but:
 
Early America had lots of slavery. It was critical to the
economy of America's southern states, and eventually caused
our Civil War. Because of that (and other factors) there's
much current American discussion of the horrors of slavery.
 
But many, many societies had slavery, including the British
Empire. I've tried to ask how slavery is currently discussed
in other such countries. IIRC I've never gotten a good
answer. In at least one prominent case, I was accused of
condoning slavery by merely asking my question - an
astonishing logical disconnect.
 
So Roger, how much is Britain's past association with
slavery currently discussed? What are the attitudes?

I've noticed that as well.
The loudest voices denouncing our past are amazingly silent
on current events; slavery in the Gulf, Sudan, Nigeria,
minors all across USA and so on.

Lets see now...it is all right to drop two atom bombs on their heads
and kill some 246,000, nearly all civilians,  and enslaving 1 is bad,
bad, bad?
