    And your point is what exactly? What does it matter what a person's first cousin six time removed did? There will also be people ruling the country who have ancestors who were abolitionists and probably some who have slave owners and abolitionists in their ancestry.

    You are going so far back as to be making meaningless points.

    What about Tony Benn? He was born into the aristocracy. Has he been through a daft Left wing genealogical witch hunt exercise?

    Is there nowt that you won't try to make daft political points on?

    That you are taking a serious issue and using it to make a daft and rather silly political point.

    Slavery is indefensible, but has featured or is featuring in the history of probably every country and people of the world.

    Trying to hold someone responsible for the actions of a first cousin six times removed is silly, however.

    I think slavery is a pretty serious subject.
