And here's me thinking the arrow was pointing at the other shithole, Hull, home of that massive spoilsport for the slavery industry, William Wilberforce.

I thought a name like that had to be a figment of OS’s imagination. I was wrong! :doh:

Wiki says: William Wilberforce was a British politician, philanthropist, and a leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, eventually becoming an independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire.

This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

Is Amazing Grace's take on the slave trade historically accurate? | Film adaptations | The Guardian

Or the modern version for children who have given their parents a mobile phone:

They phone you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.​
