Only a thought, but the number of houses burnt in the London fires seemed pretty large assuming the fire service attended in a short period of time.
Might it be that health and safety required them to keep their distance?
2016 ….
Admitting it had been “a difficult few days”, the prime minister said he held the shares together with his wife, Samantha, from 1997 and during his time as leader of the opposition. They were sold in January 2010 for a profit of £19,000.
He paid income tax on the dividends but there was no capital gains tax payable and he said he sold up before entering Downing Street “because I didn’t want anyone to say you have other agendas or vested interests”.
But the interview appeared unlikely to end scrutiny of Cameron’s tax affairs.
The Labour MP John Mann, a member of the Treasury select committee, said the prime minister should resign, claiming that Cameron had “covered up and misled”.
Cameron also admitted he did not know whether the £300,000 he inherited from his father had benefited from tax haven status due to part of his estate being based in a unit trust in Jersey.
“I obviously can’t point to the source of every bit of money and dad’s not around for me to ask the questions now,” Cameron said.

Cameron exploited lobbying loophole to discuss $1bn China fund with Treasury
https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2021-04-24/cameron-exploited-lobbying-loophole-to-discuss-1bn-china-fund-with-treasury
David Cameron discussed the establishment of a $1bn UK-China investment fund – of which he was to become vice-chair – in a meeting with then chancellor Philip Hammond just 15 months after leaving office as prime minister, despite the convention aimed at preventing former ministers from lobbying for two years.
Just when you think that the fiasco of the Biden Administration couldn’t get any more bizarre, Biden goes loony loo again. This time blaming the State of Delaware (“fossil fuel hub”) for giving him cancer when he lived there.
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1643980/joe-biden-health-positive-covid-test-white-house-confirms-symptoms-us-president
The Dim Dim minions in the White house have apparently realised the carnage this could cause so Biden is rapidly and miraculously confined to the White House with a bout of “mild” Covid in a very timely and fortunate move to hide him for a while until the heat dies down.
These Dem people are just shameless hustlers.
Shame that Saint Biden has covid
Watch this space for all the luvly reporting from the bBC
The BBC are paying undisclosed damages for the entirely false allegations that Tiggy Leege Bourke had an affair with Prince Charles. This is claimed to have influenced Diana into giving the infamous interview with Bashir.
But it’s not BBC money. It’s licence fee payers money.
And who is accountable for over 30 years of lies and deceit?
No-one.
About 1250 licence fees – £200 k . Bet the legal costs were eye wetting
“US President Joe Biden ‘doing fine’ after testing positive for Covid”

Is he triple or quadruple jabbed…
I bet Karmels is watching the West Wing and rehearsing taking the oath quicker than LBJ did when he killed JFK…
Hope nobody is wishing he would die…as they did for Trump and Boris.
Well they’ve softened up the ground and dug a hole – the next step is … a nation mourns ….
The Obama team problem will be exposing him to the press to show he is still alive once recovered – will take a lot of rehearsal and meds ….

“Ukraine war: CIA chief says no intelligence that Putin is in bad health”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62246914
But he must be ill, all the MSM and sheeple have being going on about it for months.
Fidel Castro was suffering similar projected deaths door health issues for 45 years..
The exploding cigar by the CIA was a very amusing jape.
Blatant and obvious fifth column tactics by the Western lefty media to try to undermine confidence in Putin within Russia.
Much the same sort of thing that traitor Lord Haw Haw tried to do from1939 against the UK against the then UK Government.
Trump colluded with Russia. FACT.
This map released of the sites of fires in the London area looks mighty suspicious to me. Nice handy tube routes between locations. Plus little activity beyond the tube network or the M25 and all happening on the same peak day when publicity value would be at fever pitch.
https://continuitypartner.com/wp-content/uploads/London-Fire-Map.png
The authorities should be investigating whether any loony nutcases were involved. May I suggest they start with a thorough examination of tube and station CCTV to see if there are any multiple repeat faces getting on and off the trains near these locations possibly with rucksacks?
We are told that the UK has the highest level of CCTV cameras per population the the World. Surely they have the tech to follow this up if only to eliminate the possibility?
Come on Sadiq!
‘Our data starts in 1966 and every year from then to 2008 there were more than 30,000 fires in Greater London. Since then they’ve decreased drastically. Fires peaked in 1976 when there were 63,524 fires. Last year there were less than 15,000 – a 77 per cent fall. ‘
Yep Digg….The Spectator checks Khan’s spin…and finds fires have dropped off enormously, as have deaths. [Paywalled]
https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/fact-check-is-sadiq-khan-right-about-fires-
Grass fires, particularly relevant to ‘climate change’ claims…
‘The sort seen around London now? The above chart lets you look at secondary fires: grass fires, etc. Usually outdoor and more likely in ‘hot dry summers’ – are, in the words of the London Fire Brigade ‘significantly lower than a decade ago’. Why should this be if, as Khan suggests, they are linked with global warming? In 2011 there were some 14,000 such fires, last year the count more than halved to 6,600. These fires peaked in 2003, they’ve fallen 83 per cent since then.’
Hidden between headlines this week was the alarming story of the EU’s newly appointed ambassador to Beijing saying Taiwan should be part of Xi Jinping’s expanding empire.Jorge Toledo Albiñana, seemingly oblivious to British warnings that “focusing solely on the Russian bear risks missing the tiger” – a view echoed by Nato at its summit in Madrid – said the EU supports the “peaceful reunification” of Taiwan with China, telling the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia: “The EU does not defend the independence of Taiwan, rather a peaceful reunification. We believe there should be one China.”
TELEGRAPH today.
Why is the BBC so keen on the Green lobby? (funded by the usual globalists making fast buck). And what is worse in another (Telegraph) bulletin is that the EU is fully signed up to China’s battery technology. Basically French and German cars being built (and sold to us and around the world) are all using Chinese tech batteries. (As its cheaper), like Russian gas.
And that’s NOT the only problem!
The US is ‘pro’ Taiwan and so is the UK in case of military conflict (which is certain since the Ukraine attack kicked-off). We now have emerging an EU as the ‘euro’ pro left alliance willing to cave in to China and Russia demands. Plus it gets worse…
I read: “China provides around 98pc of the EU’s requirement for rare earth metals used to build batteries, smartphones and offshore wind turbines. The minerals are mined in many countries but Beijing has invested in the infrastructure required to process and export them globally.”
Rest you can read here at .
Net Zero news roundup
The fact that China will overtake all of us seeking to go GREEN which is aspiration as mad as the ‘olde’ ALCHEMY search of turning Lead into Gold, perpetual-motion-machines or hidden political advantage by a very clever well funded foreign power.
Not that the BBC can join-the-dots. But then I never under estimate the BBC for political distortion of truth and reason. They follow the path of political advantage. Socialism cures all ailments. Communal cures prosper. Green blasphemy cannot be tolerated, and should be banned as deniers of the ‘truth’.
At least the BBC have lost kids. For phone fixated youth, the BBC is becoming an irrelevance, a bit more worrying is Tik-Tok influence on global ‘news’, is that it is Chinese and so is HSBC (bank) which is being employed (news today) following the Hong Kong handover, China is making its move to influence a bank registered in London.
The BBC will only squeal when its TV license is threatened.
I’m betting Tom Bower’s biography on Meghan Markle won’t be on the BBC’s Book of the Week list….
‘‘Until she met Harry people hadn’t heard of her’: Biographer Tom Bower claims Meghan married Prince Harry to become famous – saying Suits wasn’t that popular’
Can’t say it’s not true…..Old Harry is a very useful stepping stone for an ambitious second-rate actress who suddenly finds herself front and centre on the world stage….solely due to who she married.
Maybe she can play herself [probably mess that up…maybe have a white girl play her…lol…if Blacks can play historic white figures…] in the more than likely BBC celebration of her life against all the odds…her being ‘Black’…..though not ‘authentically black’ as the BBC’s Clara Amfo would demand…apparently mixed race people just ain’t black enough for Clara….and the BBC is fine with that sentiment as it allowed her to make such comments live on her show as she bewailed the death of George Floyd and somehow equated it to how Blacks are treated here…as did the racist Nihal live on his show…amazing what you can get away with if you’re not white….#killwhitey!
The BBC far from censuring Amfo for her racist outburst celebrated it and spread it far and wide….
Another little Gem. UK newspaper sales: Today the Editor of The Guardian gave herself an extra £150,000 pay rise. I presume to match her worth with the BBC.
Anyway The Guardian are in trouble. Nobody wants to (buy or read) it outside the BBC confines and the Left metro leaning professions.
The above figures do not include the Sun, Times and Telegraph titles which have all chosen to keep their ABC circulations private since the start of 2020. The Guardian and Observer joined them in September 2021.
The last ABC figures we have for these titles are as follows:
The Sun: 1,210,915 (March 2020)
The Sun on Sunday: 1,013,777 (March 2020)

Katharine Viner’s salary rose by 42pc to £509,850 in the year to April after the newspaper’s parent company, Guardian Media Group (GMG) made *revenue* of £255.8m in the year to 3 April 2022, growth of 13% on the previous year
Revenue is not profit
but on electronic media profit can be reasonable proportion say 50 or 60%
Upto now the Guardian’s revenue has been falling for years in
2010 280 million
2009 310.9 million
In 2018 the Guardian’s backing fund the Scott Trust Endowment Fund was valued at £1.01 billion
Adjusted operating profit was £11.7m (2021: £3.1 million)
Adjusted net operating cash inflow of £6.7 million (2021: £15.6 million outflow)
The total value of the Scott Trust endowment fund and other cash holdings increased to £1,284.0 million (2021: 1,148.5 million)
Perhaps some have forgotten that the Audited Bureau of Circulation was created to ensure that valid, uncontested publication/circulation SALES figures were available to the public.
I thought point of ABC was to prove to ADVERTISERS that when they pay for ads it will reach X million pairs of eyes.
In 1931 the industry had an issue; Advertisers were being lied to in an attempt to gain more money from ad revenue. So ISBA set out with a simple objective, to find a reliable way to differentiate between media owners they could trust and those they couldn’t. This led to the creation of ABC

BBC PAYS ‘SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES’
If ever a single event reveals the appalling culture and lack of oversight within the BBC, it is surely the fact that the Corporation has been forced to pay substantial damages to the Royal nanny for the ‘serious and prolonged harm’ caused by their ‘totally unfounded allegations’ 25 years ago.
The Director-General, Tim Davie, has said the Princess Diana programme will not be shown again. He needs to go much further.
For his own credibility, he needs to explain who took the decision to take this case to the High Court rather than settle at an early stage.
Presumably, the decision was taken at the highest level on legal advice. Was this the view of external, independent lawyers or an in-house legal team?
The decision-making process shows a serious lack of judgment in what, we should not forget, is a public corporation. Those involved should be named and the legal advice should be published.
Tim Davie should also say what steps he is taking to avoid the ‘substantial damages’ being a burden on the licence payers. An immediate, across the board, reduction in the salaries paid to certain celebrities would not come amiss. If nothing else, it would prove the fallacy that the BBC needs to pay ‘market rates’ to attract those who they regard as ‘talented’. I am sure there are plenty of ex-footballers who would be willing and able to host MOTD for far less than a million pounds a year.
The BBC, like the Post Office, has shown itself to be arrogant, lacking in corporate governance and in need of fundamental reform. The abolition of the licence fee would be a good first step.
In case you missed it…

BBC Radio 4, Thursday 4 June 2020
In a review of the newspapers we referred to a Daily Telegraph story in which the former head of MI6, Richard Dearlove, said he believed the Coronavirus pandemic started “as an accident” when the virus somehow escaped from a laboratory in China. Our review said he’d seen new research by a Norwegian-British team, which claims to have discovered clues in COVID 19’s genetic sequencing, suggesting it may not have evolved naturally. We also quoted the Daily Telegraph as saying “the study has not yet been accepted for publication in any scientific journal.” In fact the Daily Telegraph reported that research was “judged to be of sufficient scientific merit to be accepted for publication in the Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery, a journal chaired by leading scientists from Stanford University and the University of Dundee.” The Daily Telegraph went on to report that it is further analysis by the same team on this subject which has not yet been published.

Bloody Brexit strikes again….
Cut the BBC some slack pug.
They were just about to give this news top billing on Newshite but had to scratch it when a house was destroyed by fire.
Jimmy Savile was abusing children on BBC premises as recently as 2006.
The presenter’s alleged sexual assault of a girl, aged between 13 and 16, at the final recording of Top of the Pops will make it difficult for the corporation to explain the Savile scandal as a symptom of the social culture of a bygone era.

Something being hidden I wonder
I watched TR’s piece on Rumble
Exposing HNH for the bunch of sh1ts they are is one thing – stopping their propaganda distribution network is absolutely another thing.
HNH can afford to ignore TR because unlike the Sweeny + Panorama there’s usually minimal attribution / byline to HNH on the stuff they feed to the lefty pile-on merchants.

The first duty of a government is to get re elected
The second is to keep power
The third is to ensure it is funded to pay salaries and pensions
The fourth is to impose and gather taxes
The fifth is a reminder of 1 above
The sixth is to pretend to listen to voters
The seventh is to buy off dissent
The eighth is to trick people into thinking there is democracy or choice
The ninth is to vilify suppress unapproved speech and thought

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-62259739
‘Instead, Trump apparently sat in the dining room where – in remarks met by a few chuckles here on the press benches – they said the television was tuned to Fox News.’
Funny how you chose to report that bit eh BBC ?.
There’s nothing like a fair hearing. And this outrageous witch-hunt is nothing like a fair hearing.
The three news sources which make me ‘chuckle’ are The BBC, CNN and The Guardian.
The Leftists have created a massive divide through Western society. No wonder Russia and China see our weakness as a good time to act. Yet again their ‘politics’ is the root cause of countless deaths.
And I honestly believe most of them don’t think any of it is their fault or they don’t care because they think the ends justify the means. That’s the power of fanatical ideology. Everything is someone elses fault. Same as the Muslim’s when they blow innocent people up.
Today
Sometimes i listen to the distortion of facts on the BBC Today and afterward feel as though I need to wash my hands after ward .
So it was with the kidult ‘jack’ having a nice chat with some deep state droid called ‘Kim darroch’ who allegedly was a UK ambo to the US .
It was about the democrat kangaroo – show trial on the Capitol demonstration – and – of course – the desperate anti democratic attempts to prevent President Trump getting his rightful position back
It was a democrat love in . No question about the reason for the anger – just the contrived false narrative that the election was right and proper .
Even now – with Obama Biden being shown as a disaster for the US – they still want Trump dead …
If the MSM were in any way credible, they would be denouncing this ridiculous Jan 6th farce as the partisan dog and pony show it really is.
But they don’t. They go along with it as if it’s perfectly proper and don’t go anywhere near the reason they know perfectly well that it’s all about stopping Trump running again. I feel embarassed for the people like Pelosi doing it : have they no shame at all ?.
And right at the top of that pile of sh!t are the BBC and their overseers OFCOM because they are funded by public money with a mandate to be impartial.
I have to admit that since Brexit and Trump I’ve been somewhat stunned by how prepared the Leftist media are prepared to distort things for their own agenda. Where is truth and honesty ? – they have no journalistic ethics at all. It would be no exaggeration to say my faith in our ‘advanced’ society has been blown to pieces.
I’m on holiday from today for 9 days, sorry I won’t be able to comment on the site, if anyone is bothered 🙂
I tried to get the bbc to mention my holiday, but they were busy

Andy – have a very nice holiday – forget about the dire state of Blighty -I recommend factor 50 – even if you are going to skeggy…
The BBC didn’t mention my birthday either, Andy/Fed!
Just as well, because GB News, and Fox did, so all my good friends knew, as none of them have anything to do with the Beeboids of Lala Leftieland!
Belated happy birthday Scroblene – I’ve got one next year – if spared …
Just say you are a Muslim who got beaten up by a far-right thug while your daughter is in hospital with cancer and your frail old grandma is in a flat on her own in Ukraine. And send them a pic of you with a black eye and your puppy on your lap (and say he is an orphan).
Guaranteed front page.
Shouty alarmist of no consequence and with no follow through edition
Beeb’s at it again… what a surprise! – that’s the Daily Star’s thought for the day this morning – which might serve as a reply comment to just about every post hereabouts.
Every so often, you pay a small penance, perform a certain degree of self-flagellation, and swftly move on.
So it is with the BBC online press review this morning. The Daily Express tops the pile of papers with: BBC issues apology over shameful Panorama smears as Princess’ brother calls for criminal investigation. BBC: ‘We Let Diana down’
The left-leaning corporate giveaway advertiser the Metro echoes our national broadcaster’s regret at being mean to Princess Di – splashed over half of their tabloid frontpage: Queen of heartaches. They picture, name and shame: Martin Bashir during the infamous 1995 BBC interview.
The Sun gets it about right (to pinch a much over-used BBC phrase): Grovelling BBC in big Di payout
The other half of the cover of the freebie Metro by the way, claims: 9m roar on Lionesses – this being a reference to women’s football. One can’t help but note how so much of the media treatment of this subgenre of sport is aimed at insisting how flipping popular it is supposed to be.
Pride in Lionesses fuels a boom in girls’ football (Guardian) – see what I mean? You’ll recall of course: Olympic legacy failure: inspiring London 2012 message has become a millstone. The ‘Singapore promise’ of leaving behind a legacy of a fitter, healthier nation and transforming the lives of young people looks further away than ever 10 years after London was awarded the Olympics (Guardian) – so much for inspiration.
The still sentimental and formerly-Old Labour-supporting Daily Mirror backs the toff: Outraged Earl Spencer – and goes in two-footed on one or two BBC scapegoats: Cops must now charge culprits – no institutional, structural, endemic failings there then?

While we in the west apparently hope the developing world will comply with our cultural norms – through the medium of sport – meanwhile – through the medium of corporate business – the west cheerfully complies with repressive Chinese Communism: HSBC installs party committee in China (FT) – and don’t imagine this group is tasked with planning the banker’s office Christmas party: The bank has become the first foreign lender to install a Communist party body in its investment banking arm… – forget counter service, you’re more likely to be served Communism/Marxism/Leftism/Indentity Politics at your bank – so this normalising of CCP control over the management of your cheque book – that’s rather old news…

What we want to know is was it really, honestly, a pandemic?
And I’m afraid that’s not up for discussion – because there’s already planning for the next one: Covid inquiry: Lessons will be learned before next pandemic (BBC)

I just saw this (retweeted by Delingpole). Apologies if already mentioned.
BBC Pandemic: Seeding the biggest global psy-op of all time here.
Is it really possible that the entire Covid pandemic is just an elaborate piece of theatre, eerily foretold by an obscure BBC TV programme shown on a backwater channel in 2018?
In 2017-18, the BBC harvested data from thousands of volunteers for an entertaining TV documentary. This video shows how the team of academics brought in to run the BBC Pandemic simulation experiment were subsequently recruited to the British government’s “SPI-M” modelling group for the specific purpose of using their “BBC Pandemic Dataset” to topple the crucial first UK COVID domino.
Surely not. Ms Spring should investigate.

Another ‘wash your hands ‘ report . This time on people self funding surgery because of the non work practices of the NHS …
What was not discussed was the approved practice of surgeons working for the NHS and private – I’ve been a victim of this corruption – being put on a consultant waiting list but then offered the surgery next week ‘ if you wanna pay for it ‘…..
Same surgeon – probably the same crew – done in a private op theatre rather than waiting 6 months – 12 months -18 months – for the NHS – or making nice with a medical secretary to get bumped up the list.
I’m lucky – I have private health insurance which I have never used . I’m not wealthy – but I believe is self reliance and should I experience badness I will not be dependent on the NHS – I will just buy the medical mafia
I want to know how many surgeons working for the NHS also do private £ work – but the BBC won’t publish the truth or criticise the medical mafia ….
Now wash your hands
Really, simply, in part, more indirect public financial support for those who increase all the patient lists of the NHS, principally foreigners.
I heard that ‘interview’. It reminded me of Morecambe and Wise where JustRemainin is Ernie feeding all the helpful lines and then the Surgeon expert can smoothly pour the usual NHS whitewash to deflect from their dismal customer service.
As to Fedups last question, I merely note the large number of private hospitals and consulting rooms just down the road from NHS facilities. After all, we can’t have our NHS heroes wasting time commuting between places of work, can we?
Sluff – am really interested in those medical mafia work practices . If they are happy to routinely leave people in pain – suffering on a waiting list whilst earning the big bucks doing private work – having been trained at public expense – I’d like to know about it .
If I am wrong I’d also like to be corrected .
But I believe that any desire to ‘do good ‘ help by people who enter the medical mafia quickly gets buried by the desire for more money and covering up mistakes and shoddy work practices …..

The story of the BBC corruption – a future king having an affair with Tiggy and Tiggy having an abortion as a result – doesn’t feature in output .
Instead the BBC prefers a political trial – conducted by the ‘opponents ‘ of the then Head of `State – in another country – yes – the Washington kangaroo court – modelled on the nazi show trials which always ended in conviction and execution . …
…there is no question about the source of the demonstrators ‘ anger – oh no – don’t go near the election result …. I’m surprised they didn’t torch the place ….
There is the question of whether the democrat injustice department prosecuting mr trump to prevent him running again …
Will they be certain to get him ? Will they be able to fix the jury ? Undermine the defence ? Probably …
And they interview the ‘2 sides ‘ yeah right – some middle ground sort of trump supporter and a full on democrat senator who though he was gonna die because of a small demo in Washington – no one died – apart from a demonstrator who was murdered.
Apparently the show trial is part of the ‘healing ‘ – he wasn’t challenged on such nonsense – it is the opposite to healing – it’s more like the democrats screwing down the coffin lid of a president they assassinated in the polling booths …
Fed up. Yeah, but ‘Trump sat down and watched TV’ is so much more to the BBC’s taste than, for example, ‘Trump warned Germany 4 years ago about their over-reliance on Russian energy’

Will they debate the “Elephant in the Room”, that’s the mass invasion happening on our shores almost every day ?

‘Honesty and integrity’

Neither will go near the invasion – there is no choice in how either will stop it . Neither will treat France as the enemy it is . Numbers will just keep going up . The msm will ignore it – unless there is an event to create a sob story such as drowned illegals .

An IT company has decided to list on Nasdaq and come off the AIM.
The BBC were brazenly wanting to spin this as ‘economic failure by the evil Tory government’. But they interviewed the wrong guy. A tech investment expert.
Her turned the whole story round. The UK is very successful at encouraging IT companies, he said, and went through a list of positive indicators. For example, there are huge numbers of new IT jobs in Belfast. Who would have known that by only listening to the BBC presenters?
Something else for Truss to kick down the road.

18. As a matter of EU law, the principle of the supremacy of EU law means, in a nutshell, that EU law takes precedence over national law which conflicts with it.18 The default position on the UK’s exit from the EU was that the principle would fall away in relation to the UK. However, the EUWA kept a role for it.

The EU concept of the ‘supremacy of EU law’ – which forces all other UK legislation to be interpreted so as to give way to EU law where there is a conflict (even if EU law was overridden by subsequent non-EU sourced UK law) – has been preserved by the 2018 Act so far as relevant to the interpretation, disapplication or quashing of domestic law passed or made before the end of the transitional period. This interpretative concept is alien to the UK legislative principles, whereby later parliaments (and their laws) can override earlier parliaments.

“William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”

An article in the Telegraph today re modern slavery in the UK upon which, needless to say , we are not allowed to comment. Nowhere in the story was the ethnicity of those who kept the slaves mentioned but we all know what it would be.
Basically the story was that charities which campaign against modern slavery hope that Mo F story will increase their revenue.
It doesn’t seem to penetrate the thick skulls of these charities nor the government , nor liberals in general , that if we import the third world we get third world behaviours and values. God knows what our country will be like in twenty years time. One thing is for sure it won’t anything the country we once knew as the UK.

Good point .
How many slave traders and slave owners have been deported ?
Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.
It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.
It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.
