Today is the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in the UK i am pleased to say that a John Griffiths (a distant relative of mine ) signed a petition from the inhabitants of manchester in support of the abolition of slavery in 1806 (still not soon enough as slavery should never have been accepted in the first place).

A very sad part of human history and it is very sad that slavery still exists in some parts of the world today.

And still in a number of countries that claim that they have eliminated it, Australia, Britain and the States to name a few.

By the way when I first read the post I thought you were making fun as I read it including the context of your signature!
