A new database has been launched where you can search your family tree and see if your ancestors had slaves.

Out of interest, why would you want to know?

I certainly wouldn't, my family have always been working class without a pot to pee in so I doubt we had some

If we didn't, are we allowed some now to make up for it?

Only if you go down to Mogadishu and collect them in person.

Its a good idea. You can trace the slaves descendants and then go apologise to them as its relevant

My wife still has one.

I believe Britain banned the slave trade 210 years ago.Im sure Tony Blair must have apologised for it along with everything else so how about a vote of thanks from all the descendants of slaves for our progressive and magnificent stand all those years ago?

As payback for the actions of his ancestors, I am now taking Wideboy as my slave.

Gav, my bedpan is full.

Is that code for something sexual?

I'm actually albino black so technically you've made a racist joke
