    It is hypocritical and laughable for the UK to lecture other countries on slave labour

    Where is the lecture, or is simply not enabling other countries to engage in this “lecturing”?

    I see more lecturing from others about the UK here. That we are not allowed to reject slave labour because of actions in the past.

    It is still, also, right for anyone to call out countries for using slave labour.

    You can’t have it both ways. Either we are allowed to call them out, or we can’t.

      Nobody is saying you can’t call them out. They (me) are saying that it is laughable (see: ironic) of the UK to do so, whilst also being the correct thing for the UK to do.

      See my example in my previous reply.

      I don’t think that any further value would come of continued discussion between us - feel free to reply but I’m done here. Have a good one!
