I think if you look hard enough, you’ll discover those scouse mayors are simply victims of circumstance.It does make you think though when you hear that 25 Lord Mayors of Liverpool made money from the slave trade from 1700 to 1820. I live in North Lancashire which was another big slave trade area (mostly Lancaster) and there are still many large country homes which were owned by wealthy slave traders. And some of their ancestors are still benefiting from that inherited property and land wealth today.
