Lobbying, lawyers and a media blitz: the fight to kill the Church of England’s £100m slavery compensation fund
A coalition of wealthy financiers, including Sir Paul Marshall, is leading a campaign to block the Church of England’s £100 million slavery compensation scheme. The effort involves intensive lobbying, legal challenges and a coordinated media strategy that highlights criticisms of the fund. Opponents argue the payout is unnecessary, while supporters say it addresses broader historic injustices.
