So what's your point? That we're to blame whatever happens, either for our taking part in the slavery business in the first place, for not doing more to redress it, or whatever argument best results in the conclusion that Britain is in the wrong? We've tried all sorts of solutions, from resettling captured slaves in Sierra Leone to getting out of where we weren't wanted to helping build infrastructure in places where we were asked for help. And despite all that, we have people living far away from these places telling us we're in the wrong. Yeah, right. Show me that Germany has done more to end slavery across the world, and your arguments might have some credence. Or alternatively, set aside a special fund of German tax money, and we'll happily spend it on any worthy cause of your choice, in whatever manner you wish. We'll couple it with whatever profuse apologies of your choice as well if you want.
