Dave (the ancient mariner)	BS: Britain's shame of slave trade. (200* d)	RE: BS: Britain's shame of slave trade.	29 Nov 06
I come from a long line of British seafarers who did not participate in the slave trade by choice. Many who did made one voyage and quit. In my home town of Rochdale, Lancashire there is a gold headed cane from Abraham Lincoln. It was given to the town in appreciation of our support to the Union when we elected an MP (John Bright) who was instrumental in leading England away from supporting the Confederacy. This despite the fact Rochdales cotton mill industry benefited from cheap produce from the Southern States. What fucking shame???
