Thread Name: BS: Britons shall be slaves?
Subject: RE: BS: Britons shall be slaves?
There is a typically Mudcat-ian hyperbole in the thread title. I realise the aptness of the deliberately tendentious misquotation OK; but to denounce expecting or requiring someone to contribute a bit of labour in return for benefits received as "slavery" is an idiotic exaggeration and overreaction, and a gross discourtesy to those who have actually had [and in some parts of the world still have] to live in conditions of real slavery.

It might arguably, depending on one's pov, perhaps be regarded as a bit exploitative...

...but "SLAVERY"! Away you!...
