perhaps. however, slavery has never been legal in the UK, and there was a famous case (Somerset v Stewart) in the 1770s which confirmed that the institution of slavery was not compatible with English law.
I'm not doing anything of sort, you're creating a straw man. Slavery has never been legal in the UK, yes some people got fat off the slave trade, but that isn't the majority, in fact it was a few very elite individuals. Here in the UK we helped destroy the institution of slavery, and given its never been legal here, I struggle to see what the UK has to atone for.
