An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

edwardpoole1975: Boris Johnson breaking the promise to stop chlorinated chicken coming in to the UK is not at all surprising. What always surprises me is how many people believe a word this lying, racist, incompetent, elitist chancer ever says. He is taking the country for mugs.

thereturnoflynn: Periodic reminder that Ken Burns lied to you:
Not only did Robert E. Lee personally own slaves, he was considered to be a particularly brutal slave owner even by his own peers, and he wasted obscene amounts of resources on capturing more slaves throughout the entire Civil War.

MandoParty: UK abolished slavery in 1833 by agreeing to pay slave owners for "loss of property" a sum of £20m (£300bn today), a transferral of wealth from taxpayers to slave owners so huge the debts incurred were only paid off in 2015. Almost all UK taxpayers have contributed to this bill.

glasgow_sugar: I agree with your key argument. But Robert Burns was not directly involved or complicit at all. He booked tickets to Jamaica in 1786 and didn’t go. He’s the most famous Scot not to be involved with Caribbean slavery.
PeridotTrope: Who made the heart, 'tis He alone
Decidedly can try us;
He knows each chord, its various tone,
Each spring, its various bias:
Then at the balance let's be mute,
We never can adjust it;
What's done we partly may compute,
But know not what's resisted.
~Robert Burns
