We Brits have been struggling against tyranny and slavery for, arguably, four hundred and twenty years;

Anglo please.

Before guilty white Methodists shamed you into abolition, the transatlantic slave trade in the West Indies and North America was carried in mostly British ships, sailed by British mariners, financed by British investors, insured by Lloyd’s of London.

I am grateful that Good Queen Bess turned Errol Flynn loose on the Armada, but you guys still haven’t worked off the atrocities committed by Banastre Tarleton in the Carolinas. At your current rate of contrition it will be another 91 years before you earn forgiveness for dragging us into the Great War.
