    I’m actually almost impressed that it cites the Lord Mansfield decision of 1772, which effectively abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, and was foundational to the American Abolition movement. It makes a weird kind of sense.

    Then again, are they saying they’re not beholden to the US government because they’re still working under imperial law? 🤔

    'Cause that’s where I draw the line! 😡
