Forgive a slightly off-topic question, but:

Early America had lots of slavery. It was critical to the economy of 
America's southern states, and eventually caused our Civil War. Because 
of that (and other factors) there's much current American discussion of 
the horrors of slavery.

But many, many societies had slavery, including the British Empire. I've 
tried to ask how slavery is currently discussed in other such countries. 
IIRC I've never gotten a good answer. In at least one prominent case, I 
was accused of condoning slavery by merely asking my question - an 
astonishing logical disconnect.

So Roger, how much is Britain's past association with slavery currently 
discussed? What are the attitudes?
