David Cameron
The Prime Minister of England’s family built much of their wealth on the free labor of their slaves. They also built their empire selling them. One historical record reveals that the Camerons once sold 202 slaves in their Grange Sugar Estate in Jamaica for roughly $5 million dollars (in today’s money).
But the Cameron’s aren’t alone. Roughly 1/5th of wealth families in the UK are still directly enjoying the wealth that their slave-owning families accumulated.
