I can imagine that the thrust and scope of the British empire seems luring to those obsessed with power and money. Obscuring the fact that before emancipation this empire was responsible for the most dire and intensive form of slave trade is either purely ideological or stupid.

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery. Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.
