The BBC journalist Laura Trevelyan was so affected by learning that her Trevelyan ancestors owned more than 1,000 slaves on the Caribbean island of Grenada that she gave up her job to become a full-time slavery reparations campaigner and pledged £100,000 to make amends.

The Irish also have reason to hate the Trevelyans, and Laura Trevelyan has also brought up the topic of reparations to the Irish.

The Royal Family also had slaveholding ancestors in the Lascelles family (the Earls of Harewood).

I imagine since it was in the Caribbean that she’ll come up with a way to talk the retarded, white privileged yanks into paying the reparations to them.

This would all be so, so useful if it could just be weaponized by more Americans.

As one whose grandparents were driven from Ireland due to Britain’s policy of starvation I could use some reparations. I think £500,000 would do nicely.
