Europeans always knew it was immoral, they just rationalised it
"The Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade was formed in 1787 by a group of Evangelical English Protestants allied with Quakers, to unite in their shared opposition to slavery and the slave trade. The Quakers had long viewed slavery as immoral, a blight upon humanity. By 1807 the abolitionist groups had a very sizable faction of like-minded members in the British Parliament. At their height they controlled 35–40 seats. Known as the "Saints", the alliance was led by the best known of the anti-slave trade campaigners, William Wilberforce, who had taken on the cause of abolition in 1787 after having read the evidence that Thomas Clarkson had amassed against the trade. These dedicated Parliamentarians had access to the legal draughtsmanship of James Stephen, Wilberforce's brother-in-law. They often saw their personal battle against slavery as a divinely ordained crusade. On Sunday, 28 October 1787, Wilberforce wrote in his diary: "God Almighty has set before me two great objects, the suppression of the slave trade and the reformation of manners."

"The slave trade had been banned in England in 1102. In a 1569 court case involving Cartwright, who had bought a slave from Russia, the court ruled that English law could not recognise slavery, as it was never established officially. This ruling was overshadowed by later developments. It was upheld in 1700 by Lord Chief Justice Sir John Holt when he ruled that "As soon as a man sets foot on English ground he is free"."

Yeah
size of that head.... clearly big brain big pp
In his 1776 A Dissertation on the *Duty of Mercy and Sin of Cruelty to Brute Animals*, the clergyman Humphry Primatt wrote, "the white man (notwithstanding the barbarity of custom and prejudice), can have no right, by virtue of his colour, to enslave and tyrannize over a black man."
If we want to maintain good standards, then we should be using the UK as a reference point, not the EU
yknow the more the far left attacks priti, the more I think she is going to become the next PM... first non-white woman PM
I'm sure the progressives would be thrilled
she cant be worse than may or maggie
but havent you heard? according to the leftwaffe she is a monster!
my kind of girl tbh
for the imperium of course
She'd make a good pm
But I can see Pritti Patel becoming PM after Boris’ terms
the optics are good but what has she done of note
Right now I am just glad we have Prime Minister Johnson and not Prime Minister Corbyn
Corbyn: Let’s run on a campaign of Anti-Britishness
Boris: Let’s actually care about the country’s choice
I was born in London (Moved to Kent when I was 5 back in ‘05) so I can call myself a true Londoner (Not the fake Londoners who weren’t even fucking born there and have been there for 2 months)
(Plus I was also born in 1999 Kek)
My opinions are very much rooted in patriotism, as I have read a lot of history and believe that much of what our country has done through centuries shaped the modern democratic world
Welcome to the town Zac
Maybe that’s because I’m not a middle class cunt who decides “eMpIrE bAd”
Good ol’ working class
Nothing wrong with being middle class
nothing wrong with the upper classes
Well there is when you use your wealth to flout positions and authority in opposition to the majority
E.g. Brexit remainiacs
Yes, but that's just champaign socialists and people with vested interests, or people who are ideologically posessed
Easy to use the marker middle class, but I don't think that's the best description for them
True, but it seems it’s all the middle class nowadays
They hold the speaking power in the news
When have they ever brought working class leavers that weren’t straw men like in that Channel 4 pub clip during Brexit day?
well, I am from the working class, my farther was an incredibly workcentric guy, but I am middle class now, living in an area that is wealthy, and full of middle class people. The thing you're speaking of is a type of middle class person, and it is very true. However, I think a better way to describe them is boojie
