Credit to the MAC for producing a strong evidence base in their report. Now it’s time for evidence-based policy from both U.K. Govt and the opposition.

“The couple may have been invited to the country to discuss Prince Harry's Invictus
Foundation, but
It went without a hitch - no howlers like the

William and Kate reaching through a chain link fence to local children on their Jamaica tour

This is absolutely right: there is no doubt that international students bring huge economic benefits, especially in levelling-up areas, and are a source of soft power for the U.K. Universities UK International Russell Group Universities UK

Our History
the lie that Dundas was an abolitionist: Arniston Memoirs, and historian Devine say slavers supported Dundas for his slave trade support.

Our History
Academic historian Devine supports those who, without valid evidence, say Henry Dundas’ plaque should be removed because he was an ‘abolitionist’. But here, Dundas’ (Arniston) family history(1806) and Devine’s history(2015) say slavers like Houston supported Dundas

Our History/Dundas was not an “abolitionist” as stated by Dundas’ descendant (Viscount) and M. Fry. Devine said Dundas “delayed” abolition (confirmed by Mullen) to help slavers, eg James Baillie who called abolitionists “low men”
why would he call supporter Dundas a ‘low man’?

No question- my Yale University university press Global History of Scotland will conclude that Dundas’s Caribbean patronage network & its links to Scotland could not have been preserved had he supported abolition

Our Slavery/History: Sir Tom Devine refers to Slavers who Dundas supported and they thanked him for abolishing the slave trade, ‘gradually’...especially James Baillie MP who said “abolitionists” were “ill-informed, ignorant and low men”...he certainly was not referring to Dundas.

Abolitionists: Wilberforce, Equiano, Clarkson. Slavers: Dundas + lnverness’ James Baillie. Evan Baillie (MP, Bristol), Dundas helped his slavery business. Dundas was surely not an ‘abolitionist’ because James (MP) said, abolitionists are “ill-informed, ignorant and low men”...

Agree
but according to Hume/Kant racism, Black people’s “parrot-like” learning should remain similar because they are inferior to White people
they were wrong.
