Like I said, we're not America.

People here protesting about police brutality abroad is a separate issue.

Our history with slavery is just as brutal. we used to own all the slave transport contracts, for one.

"We" weren't alive at the time, it was our ancestors.

Actually owning slaves has always been illegal here, it says so in the Magna Carta. While some wealthy, upper-class business men may have traded to make their money, we has a nation of people have never took part in slavery.

In terms of anti-slavery, we probably rank the number 1 country in the World.

Magna Carta hasn't been relevant for centuries, which is why the covid-denying, anti-mask movement was mercilessly mocked for it's invocation of the MC a few months ago.

Us and Portugal were the main movers of slaves, which means we went to Africa, either traded for, or rounded humans up, and then took them to America to sell and trade. If you think that's not taking part, then I don't know what to tell you. That's also the abridged version, which means I've omitted a lot of the details of what happened during those times.
