A measured response

@ronbissel @ZelenskyyUa Yes it’s getting rough in Russia, they needed a break. . .

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@arc_n_art @MannyintheCuse @realannapaulina The essence of this war is Russian imperialism. Don’t waste your time excusing it.

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@borbadirk11 @PeterJJ_ @afneil Oh yes they will.

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@clickbaitwizard @dt_on_x @implausibleblog Get real.

@TherealArcto @JuliaDavisNews @atrupar Why do you ask? Why does Russia rehabilitate Stalin who was a faithful ally of the real Nazis and Hitler. They invaded Poland together then gave logistic support to the Hitler’s Blitzkreig across Europe.

@rayzphiri16 @beyondB_DAG And thanks to the protection of the Royal Navy West Africa Squadron the threat of being captured, enslaved and sold to traders by the tribe next door was eradicated. No charge, let’s call it reparations for previous abuses.

@Phoenix4419 @FreeportThinker @michaelwhite The context is that fast sailing ships were developed like the American Baltimore clippers. They were used as slave boats to out run the RN. The RN had to capture one to respond, it was HMS Black Joke while in service with the West Africa Sqd.

@Melebroz1 As a Nigerian running a defunct company in Nigeria and a Care organisation in Manchester you probably depend on cheap African labour. Your Christian values also seem partial. Are you also a Zionist? Wierd.

@JonWiltshire_ David Olusoga would like a word.

@danielcooke1 @Limonata1932 @afneil Buying the slaves freedom was a pragmatic way to kill off the trade without destroying the plantations (and work for many freed slaves, yes I know indentured jobs). It was democracy in action. An alternative approach to free the slaves without paying might have led to civil war.

@BasedMillwaII @Conservatives No that was China.

@SpaceAgeMark @BBCSteveR Were they covered in the Russian press? How would you know?

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@wartranslated As they are all ‘brothers’ they could have had a Russia v Ukraine football match.

@therevjoeblank @Klaus_Roehl @KyivIndependent At a table near a window and sharing a nice cup of tea?

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@JohnMcD05057787 @Kevin_Maguire I think Anglesey deserves an apology.

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@paul_oay Fine, we’re all pleased about that, it’s probably why they were invited in and legal. What’s your point?

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@DavidHorneScot @afneil The current narrative continually addresses the 'compensation' to slave owners but nothing to the ex slaves. The slaves were legally 'property' until the law changed. What the Brits did was buy all of the property then changed the law & closed the market. Slaves were freed gratis

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@FaraiMazhindu Britain is due recompense by African nations for all of the Africans that were not enslaved since 1860 as a result of slave trade suppression paid for by Brits.

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@CapitalistNegro @FaraiMazhindu Your context is an uneducated fantasy.

[Zarbo @arkryt]

@Farida_N Slave ownership was not ‘compensated’ the British abolitionists won the argument and the British people bought the slaves freedom. The Brits then funded decades of anti slave trade action fighting African slave takers and other nations traders. The financial books are closed.
