slavery came along way before the Brits, i.e. the Greek and Roman empires were built on slavery. Also, the African slave trade was mainly run by native african tribes. One tribe would smash another, capture prisoners and sell them into slavery. The Brits for their sins just, as we generally do, set ourselves up as middle men to make so ...[text shortened]... wealth was not exactly top priority in any of these countries, as it remains so today.

The Scots receive money from the English? Have you been eating mushrooms again?

Let's see: Whisky, British gas and Billy Connolly. Oh. And salmon. And sheep. And angus cattle.

So, what did the English add to Britain...?? Oh yes...they destroyed the industrial base of the country so that we now can buy cheaper made products, produced by children in third world nations.

Don't take it so personally, it was a facetious dig.
