I'm late to this realisation I know. I know we all benefited from the employment and riches flowing through the economy from slavery, even if our own actual ancestors were also poor as.
The U.K. finished paying the £20M they borrowed to compensate slave owners in 2015. So descendants on slaves were paying via their taxes for this too.
As for David Cameron, Benedict Cumberbatch and their ilk and any other Etonian beneficiaries of these payments...how many have paid inheritance tax instead of being protected from it by trust funds? Just musing really at the whole smelly picture.
