Slavery and profits

There are multiple serious reports about the fact that his family profitted from the money given to slave owners in about 1833. Money which the british taxpayer had to give until 2015. Why is it not a topic here? Would his family been able to make him go to elitists private schools without the money? Tims wondering ... 90.160.109.62 (talk) 14:55, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add information on the deal that cameron failed to gain as it had an effect on public opinion with a seperate sub title on camerons bad deal. The ultimate decision to leave is seemingly due to the failure of Camerons government to reach an agreement that would’ve presented the Britain and EU partnership in a favourable light. Cameron entered the deal with optimism calling for greater power to block EU legislation, a reduction in EU migrant benefits and steps to prevent eurozone bailouts which was promising for the public. However, when the final deal emerged the EU had hardly moved their position, probably believing the UK would not vote to leave and that they did not need to offer any more negotiation. There was clear compromise by the UK on all sectors but especially on the issue of immigration in which Cameron failed to gain any change to sending benefits abroad or the issue of illegal working and got no reduction in the European aspect of free movement. This is portrayed by many as a missed opportunity[1] due to the perceived advantages the remain campaign would’ve grasped if they had secured a better deal before the referendum. At the time of Camerons bad deal, 78% of the British public supported remaining in the EU [2] but due to the lack of any significant reform, support for staying within this system fell away. The initial goal of Brexit was arguably to allow citizens to decide on Camerons deal with the EU on the “country’s terms of EU management”[3]. It begs the question of if a better deal had been secured initially, would Britain still be a player in the European Union? Libbyyyskye (talk) 12:43, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
