1/6 🧵I’ve given a few talks recently about trans-Atlantic slavery in British history, to people who really don’t want to hear it. I don’t mean haranguing shoppers in Oxford Street, but talks to church, community and business groups comprised of small ‘c’ conservative White people who’ve been willing to hear me out, even if they find it uncomfortable.

I’ve kept it factual and based it on two main databases: https://t.co/dvxBzLNT6U on British participation in the trans-Atlantic slave ‘trade’ and https://t.co/ShYr4TXB7W on slave ownership.

On every occasion, there have been two main objections. In case its useful for others, this thread sets out what they are, along with my own attempts to answer:

@Fido_PR @victoriabaths I wonder who bought it in the auction and where is it now? 🐄

[S!bby 🐝 @MCRTourGuide]

@McrBuilds It was where the new section of the other Malmaison is @lennylaw (Piccadilly), which is partly in the listed Joshua Hoyle & Sons Ltd cotton warehouse.

Fabulous buildings - the terrace on Edge Lane are part of the building too.

An older woman in the pub carrying a tray of drinks into the beer garden just said to everyone "two soups" and nobody reacted and I think I love her.
