| #9 Of course the Arab traders... AND (conveniently forgotten), black Africans themselves. Village chiefs sold millions of their own people to those Arab traders. |

| #8 and although the Jewish role was marginal except for a few decades in a few place, the role of arab traders in the Slave trade was significant over centuries and in many parts of the Islamic world Jackie wouldn't believe it though |

| #6 "‘chief financiers’ of human market were Jewish"? That's simply not true. Suriname and Curacao (Dutch colonies), and to a lesser degree also Barbados were the only places where Jews played a significant (but rather shortlived) role in the slave trade. Globally speaking the Jewish role was marginal. The chief financiers of the 16th century were super rich German merchant families (Fugger and Welser), and they were not Jewish. |

| #5 Bye bye Elections or some such thing they have over the Atlantic. They can be forced by a rabbit hitting a trip-wire in any of the distance hustings. The Woolsack (like our own cabbage tree) might play a part along with the Dutchy of Lanplaster et. Al. |

| #2 The elections were May 5th, lord garth, preceded by a rolling sequence of over fifty Labour politicians being censured by the party for antisemitism. That nice Labour Pakistani-Brit was elected lord mayor of London. |
