Just to follow on from the David's response, I think what's interesting
about the media coverage is the slippage that exists between 'slavery' and
'slave trade'. Seems to me that it will be a good thing to get the issue
onto the national curriculum and we might need to invite some of the
current commentators to take some revision lessons. As David says, there's
a lot of lazy writing/reporting around at the moment.
