I think we do need to be a bit careful, because you've got figures like Robert Peel and William Gladstone being vilified, because their fathers were linked to / defended to the slave trade.
As far as I'm aware, we shouldn't be condemning peope for the actions and beliefs of their family?
This is where we need debate and discussion. The protests have placed the subject on the table - now politicians are listening and we can have a proper discussion.
