@rachelw who? Ah, you mean the former Tory MP #AntoinetteSandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.

My family on one side is farm labourers as far back as anybody could be bothered to record (the Victorian times) and on the other side were Irish farm labourers, so I watch all the Posh in Britain worry about their slaver family past with much delight.
But if any of my ancestors were slavers, I wouldn't die on a hill defending them, why do the Posh do that?

What's that I hear, the family of #AntoinetteSandbach made their money enslaving human beings and she doesn't want us to know?

It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”
Oh, my… It would be a damn shame if more people knew of this so please do not boost this post.
