#AntoinetteSandbach (and maybe a few others) are rather missing the point of #MalikAlNasir's research. No one's blaming her for the actions of her ancestors. I'm willing to bet that the majority of white British or at least English people have at least one ancestor involved in the slave trade. The shameful (and frankly rather pathetic thing) she's doing is trying to suppress it

@rachelw who? Ah, you mean the former Tory MP #AntoinetteSandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.

@aral #AntoinetteSandbach seems to think that she's still Al Nasir's rightful owner, somehow.

It would appear that “former Tory MP Antoinette Sandbach has threatened the University of Cambridge with legal action after a historian named her as a descendant of merchants who enslaved his ancestors.”

Oh, my… It would be a damn shame if more people knew of this so please do not boost this post.
