    His ancestry and the fact Britain had its paws on the island for a while

    Yeah Sherlock like no nations past isn’t littered with slaves, the Scots, put on galleys in the Thames, due to being male, appearing between 14 & 60, & shipped to W Indies/Australia etc after Scotland was defeated in 1746, that wasn’t a form of slavery? Served it’s purpose right enough, no way could a nation raise an army if it had no male population.
    Could be construed slavery, could be viewed pragmatic, interpretations, eh?
