Very noble and well done. My sympathy as Ive had to do the same once before.

I know how you feel... Its taken me over 3 years as a Trustee to find a way of getting policy and procedure reports and updates into the routine business of Trustee meetings in a way that works. All depends on who does HR.

Good question. I wonder if an apology is considered a hindrance that would spark outrage on the right and become an unwelcome distraction, preferring instead to quietly get on with it. (thats my wishful thinking)

1/2 We have vastly improved data now on British slave-owners (www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/search/) and slave-traders (britishslavetraders.org). Wonderful that this research has persisted despite all the fury of the nationalist right wing backlash.

2/2 But this data on enslaved people themselves, derived from the registers of the ‘amelioration’ period is a yet more significant resource on captives & for their descendants:

Kervaig?

Sadly, the article is behind a pay wall. I wonder if it offers a verdict of the confusing role of Bishop Porteus who commissioned the Bible, who earlier had called for reform on the SPG Codrington plantations and was known in previous decades for abolitionist sympathies.

What is the most you will pay to see a musical genius in concert?

Stevie Wonder playing an all time favourite album. No brainer to see him. Got to front of queue, but could not justify £176 for a ticket and logged off - am I mad? Will I regret it?
