Antoinette Sandbach’s relatives owned slaves – and so did mine. We have to atone for that as best we can

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?

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.

@aral seems to think that she's still Al Nasir's rightful owner, somehow.
