Church of England £100million ­slavery fund 'almost like bribery' and 'just for show', former race tsar says

Tory peer and former equality tsar Tony Sewell has described the Church of England’s £100million ­slavery reparation fund as “almost like bribery”.

Lord Sewell, who chaired Boris Johnson’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, claimed that the church had made a “political” decision to start the fund and was doing it “for show”, according to The Times.
