Spent the last two years on this project to it means a lot to me: The Guardian has looked into its history and has discovered an uncomfortable truth: but it reveals a story of Britain's history being embedded with slavery theguardian.com/news/2023/mar/…
@josephharker Seems that the past is more important then the present. No one can alter the past but many are obsessed with past events. Did you ever consider the muslim raids into europe and england for white slaves? This is always a one sided game.
@josephharker Surely every single historic company and institution in every former colonial power has links to slavery?
@josephharker What a load of woke nonsense. No one has any need to apologise for something that happened 200 years ago. Still, I'm sure that you feel suitably smug about it.
@josephharker When are you going to find the British Sailors decedents who’s ancestors lost their lives trying to stop the slave trade?
@josephharker @Traveloguer Apologies are not enough. The families and institutions who got rich from human misery need to pay reparations. They are still funded by criminally sourced funds. No, you can’t keep it.
@josephharker What a great project. This is what looking at Britain's past in a realistic and sensible way looks like. Well done.
@josephharker @KiraCochrane Really interesting. Thank you.
@josephharker The Guardian is an Establishment mouthpiece rag-I’m old enough to know—it never used to be.
