themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-14--How Manchester fought - and profited from slavery

Last Sunday , June 7 , at a Black Lives Matter rally , a group of protesters in Bristol toppled the statue of slave trader Edward Colston , tied ropes around the monument and threw it into the Bristol harbour .
This historic moment has since sparked difficult conversations that are long overdue about the nation 's involvement in the horrific transatlantic slave trade , how it has profited and what it is doing to make amends .
The protests were initially sparked by the death of African-American security guard George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis policeman .

Last weekend thousands of people flocked to Manchester to voice their grievances , tell their stories and let it be known that to them , Black Lives do indeed matter .

By refusing to touch cotton produced by slavery in the South , during that war , Lancashire workers weakened the Confederacy in solidarity with the African slaves of the Americas who were beaten , brutalised and viewed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The workers supported Abraham Lincoln ’ s pledge to abolish slavery despite the fact the Union 's blockade of Confederate ports had caused a shortage of cotton supplies to Rochdale , resulting in ‘ cotton famine ’ which starved thousands of men and women of their livelihoods .

The history books will show that the people in Manchester have been on the right side of history when it came to the fight for the abolition of slavery.
At the top of Rooley Moor Road in Rochdale is a historic Victorian stone road that is widely known as the ‘Cotton Famine Road.’
The monument recalls how Rochdale cotton workers sided with the Union cause during the American Civil War which began in 1861 and ended with the slavery-supporting Confederacy being beaten, and the abolition of slavery in the US.
By refusing to touch cotton produced by slavery in the South, during that war, Lancashire workers weakened the Confederacy in solidarity with the African slaves of the Americas who were beaten, brutalised and viewed as cattle by slave owners and cotton merchants.
The workers supported Abraham Lincoln’s pledge to abolish slavery despite the fact the Union's blockade of Confederate ports had caused a shortage of cotton supplies to Rochdale, resulting in ‘cotton famine’ which starved thousands of men and women of their livelihoods.
Manchester was just as resolute as Rochdale. In 1862, pledging their support for the Union and opposition to slavery, at the Free Trade Hall, ‘The Working-Men of Manchester, England,' wrote “Justice demands for the black, no less than for the white, the protection of the law', in a letter to Abraham Lincoln.
The American president was grateful for their support - which he described as 'sublime Christian heroism' - and his message of thanks to the working people of Manchester is inscribed on the plinth of his statue in Manchester city centre.

Many of the signs at Manchester’s Black Lives Matter demonstration had the words ‘The UK is not innocent’ written on them. And, while Manchester is known for being on the right side of history and campaigning for an end to slavery, it did profit from it.
To find examples of how Manchester profited from the slave trade, all you have to do is look at the grand buildings found in the city centre, especially those on Mosley Street, Piccadilly, and Portland Street.
Directly or indirectly, profits of slavery fueled Greater Manchester's Industrial Revolution.
When renowned American, lecturer and abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond was in Lancashire to appeal to mill owners and cotton workers to support the anti-slavery movement in 1859, she said the words: "When I walk through the streets of Manchester and meet load after load of cotton, I think of those 80,000 cotton plantations on which was grown the $125m worth of cotton which supply your market, and I remember that not one cent of that money ever reached the hands of the labourers."
In the 1700s Manchester’s thriving textile industry was built on slave-grown cotton from the West Indies, the same cotton that was woven into textiles, a major export item for Liverpool slave traders.
Manchester’s cotton mill industry generated up £200k per year (equivalent to £28 million today) through clothes, fabrics, silks and handkerchiefs made from cloth that was traded for captured African men and women.
Some merchants continued profiting from slavery even after the British government outlawed the trading of slaves from America in 1807.
Textiles from Manchester were seen as vital to the Liverpool slave trade for their price and quality, they were also purchased by Spanish West India traders who then resold the textiles in Africa.
This was done via Jamaica and despite the Spanish government outlawing this method of trading, it lasted 20 years and some Manchester merchants continued to profit from the slave trade after abolition.
The multi-storey buildings that functioned as warehouses, offices and inspections stations on Whitworth Street are a stark reminder of this period.

There were many prominent Manchester families who had direct links with the slave trade. The Hibberts owned sugar plantations in Jamaica and a Manchester MP Samuel Touchet was a cotton and slave merchant who was in partnership with a West Indian business.

In spite of this, Manchester was at the forefront of the abolitionist movement, years before Abraham Lincoln was even born. In 1787, 11,000 people - about half the adult population of the city - signed a petition calling for the abolition of slavery.

In the 18th century there was a landmark case in England - that of James Somersett, an enslaved black man who won a case against his 'owner' who was attempting to return him to the West Indies - which threw a light on the rights of black people in Britain and the evils of slavery.
The Sons of Africa, an abolitionist campaign group made up of black men in Georgian London, including figures like the writer Olaudah Equiano, who had been kidnapped into slavery before buying back his freedom, began petitioning politicians and lecturing about the trade, forcing the British public to face up to its horrors.
And they allied with Anglicans and Quakers like Thomas Clarkson, who would speak at that historic Manchester Cathedral meeting.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-14--The crooks who lived lavish lifestyles by committing crime

They say that crime does n't pay .
But the reality is that it can , and it is often why people take such big risks , the expectation of quick cash .
There have been many examples in recent times where Manchester 's courts have heard how drug dealers , armed robbers and fraudsters have enjoyed the trappings of wealth , obtained through crime .
Here are some of the cases where police were able to bring these criminals to justice , and bring the lifestyles they had become accustomed to crashing down .
He helped run J and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family , selling meat , poultry , game and fish primarily to shops and restaurants from the firm 's base at New Smithfield Market in Openshaw .
But his life of luxury was n't gained from honest business .
From April 2011 to May 2017 at least , Joseph Wilde was pocketing vast amounts of cash by selling some of the company 's stock to a small group of customers which he kept off the books , retaining the proceeds for himself .
Wilde , 56 , from Heywood , drove a top-of-the-range @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his house was full of luxury items .
Watches worth at least £50,000 were found , a new kitchen worth £30,000 had been installed , and a cinema room with a projector and surround sound worth at least £10,000 was discovered .
Artwork around the home was valued at nearly £15,000 , and there was also a number of ladies ' designer handbags worth between £15,000 and £25,000 .
Meanwhile , the firm was struggling to survive .
When they heard why the business was haemorrhaging money , the family could n't believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heard .
Sentencing Wilde to six years in jail in March last year , Judge Richard Mansell QC hit out at Wilde , labelling him a 'thoroughly selfish and heartless individual ' .
He bought a £313,000 luxury holiday pad in Dubai , and walked around with a £34,000 Rolex watch on his wrist .
Clements also drove a Mercedes with his personalised 'BO55 ' number plate .
When he was pulled over by police , there was £10,000 in the boot .
All on the back of selling cocaine , heroin and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Whitefield .
An Uzi sub-machine gun , a magazine and 47 rounds of ammunition in a bag were found there , as well as heroin and cocaine potentially worth more than £800,000 at street level .
By chance Clements ' Mercedes was stopped by police for an unconnected matter on August 30 , 2018 .
As well as the cash , there were three mobile phones in the car protected by encryption software .
Clements , 27 , from Oldham , was jailed for 15 years at Manchester Crown Court in May last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were also jailed .
As a police officer , he should have known better than most .
In reality , he was a drugs boss who 'revelled ' in his double life .
He even wore a T-shirt featuring Walter White 's alter-ego Heisenberg , from the hit US show Breaking Bad , which tells the story of a chemistry teacher turned drug dealer .
When he was eventually exposed , Aimson , 39 , also admitted that he had been selling dodgy TV boxes for profit .
The boxes allowed users to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and BT Sport and the latest films and TV , without paying the normal fees .
The company he set up as part of the operation raked in £655,000 over just 13 months .
He used the profits to pay for things including luxury breaks and dinners costing hundreds of pounds at Michelin starred restaurants with wife Rachel , who he has now split from .
In December 2017 , Aimson was jailed for six years for drugs offences .
Earlier this month , he received an additional year in jail for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designer clothes , a motorbike , all on the back of drug dealing .
Remi Phythian 's 'lavish lifestyle ' was halted when he was arrested by police at Tesco in Stockport .

They say that crime doesn't pay.
But the reality is that it can, and it is often why people take such big risks, the expectation of quick cash.
There have been many examples in recent times where Manchester's courts have heard how drug dealers, armed robbers and fraudsters have enjoyed the trappings of wealth, obtained through crime.
Here are some of the cases where police were able to bring these criminals to justice, and bring the lifestyles they had become accustomed to crashing down.

Joseph Wilde
Joseph Wilde lived a staggering life of luxury.
He helped run J and B Wilde with other members of his family, selling meat, poultry, game and fish primarily to shops and restaurants from the firm's base at New Smithfield Market in Openshaw.
But his life of luxury wasn't gained from honest business.
From April 2011 to May 2017 at least, Joseph Wilde was pocketing vast amounts of cash by selling some of the company's stock to a small group of customers which he kept off the books, retaining the proceeds for himself.
Wilde, 56, from Heywood, drove a top-of-the-range BMW X6, worth £106,000, and his house was full of luxury items.
Watches worth at least £50,000 were found, a new kitchen worth £30,000 had been installed, and a cinema room with a projector and surround sound worth at least £10,000 was discovered.
Artwork around the home was valued at nearly £15,000, and there was also a number of ladies' designer handbags worth between £15,000 and £25,000.
Meanwhile, the firm was struggling to survive.
When they heard why the business was haemorrhaging money, the family couldn't believe it was true, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Sentencing Wilde to six years in jail in March last year, Judge Richard Mansell QC hit out at Wilde, labelling him a 'thoroughly selfish and heartless individual'.
Jordan Clements

Drugs proved a lucrative trade for Jordan Clements.
He bought a £313,000 luxury holiday pad in Dubai, and walked around with a £34,000 Rolex watch on his wrist.
Clements also drove a Mercedes with his personalised 'BO55' number plate.
When he was pulled over by police, there was £10,000 in the boot.
All on the back of selling cocaine, heroin and MDMA, operating from a safehouse in Whitefield.
An Uzi sub-machine gun, a magazine and 47 rounds of ammunition in a bag were found there, as well as heroin and cocaine potentially worth more than £800,000 at street level.
By chance Clements' Mercedes was stopped by police for an unconnected matter on August 30, 2018.
As well as the cash, there were three mobile phones in the car protected by encryption software.
Clements, 27, from Oldham, was jailed for 15 years at Manchester Crown Court in May last year.
Other members of his gang were also jailed.
Daniel Aimson

Daniel Aimson enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, including slap-up meals and stays at top hotels.
As a police officer, he should have known better than most.
In reality, he was a drugs boss who 'revelled' in his double life.
He even wore a T-shirt featuring Walter White's alter-ego Heisenberg, from the hit US show Breaking Bad, which tells the story of a chemistry teacher turned drug dealer.
When he was eventually exposed, Aimson, 39, also admitted that he had been selling dodgy TV boxes for profit.
The boxes allowed users to access subscription channels such as Sky Sports and BT Sport and the latest films and TV, without paying the normal fees.
The company he set up as part of the operation raked in £655,000 over just 13 months.
He used the profits to pay for things including luxury breaks and dinners costing hundreds of pounds at Michelin starred restaurants with wife Rachel, who he has now split from.
In December 2017, Aimson was jailed for six years for drugs offences.
Earlier this month, he received an additional year in jail for the dodgy TV boxes.
Remi Phythian
Foreign holidays, designer clothes, a motorbike, all on the back of drug dealing.
Remi Phythian's 'lavish lifestyle' was halted when he was arrested by police at Tesco in Stockport.
At his house, police found more than £4,000 in bundles of cash, designer clothes, trainers and a motorbike, as well as drugs paraphernalia including snap bags and scales.
In his Mercedes van, police found cocaine with a potential street value of £100,000.
Phythian, of Denton, had been abroad 16 times between January 2016 and March last year.
Destinations included Dubai, New York, Ibiza and Thailand.
He also had a number of designer clothes, including jackets and belts in shopping bags, and Nike Air Max trainers.
Phythian pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply cocaine and possession of criminal property.
At Minshull Street Crown Court earlier this month, he was jailed for six years.
Adam Brown

Police helped Adam Brown's life of luxury to come crashing down almost by accident.
They had been called to reports of a woman being stabbed in Salford.
But when drug dealer Brown, 36, ran away from them, officers knew he had something to hide.
They found he was quite literally trying to hide something, as he had £18,000 in cash stuffed down his jeans when he was arrested.
He was wearing a Rolex watch at the time.
During a search of his flat, police found that 'everything appeared to be new and in good order', Manchester Crown Court heard in June last year.
They discovered high value items including a new corner sofa, a dining table and chairs, a flat screen TV, expensive trainers, designer clothes and an iPad.
They also seized a Samsung TV, a Bose sound system, Beats headphones, expensive aftershave and Canada Goose, Hugo Boss and Gucci clothes.
Brown also had a Mercedes GLE 4x4 on finance.
Police found cannabis belonging to Brown, said to have a street value of about £31,000.
"It's clear that those were all the trappings of a significant commercial drug dealing enterprise, which was very successful for you," Judge Hilary Manley told Brown, who was jailed for three years and three months.
Shaquille Bell

Spice dealer Shaquille Bell, 24, acquired a taste for the finer things in life.
"I'm not trying to be rich for a night, I'm trying to get rich for life," he bragged in a text to a friend.
After being caught, police found he had an Armani watch, a Louis Vuitton bag, a pair of Christian Louboutin trainers and a Hugo Boss tracksuit.
They also discovered a receipt for purchases at Harvey Nichols totalling £1,645.
Thousands of pounds in cash was also found, some of which was found in Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger bags.
At Manchester Crown Court in March last year, Bell, from Moss Side, was jailed for seven years after a judge said he was a 'leading player' in the supply of large quantities of spice.
Judge Anthony Cross QC said Bell's dealing was 'borne out of greed and determination to enrich your personal life'.
Richard 'Ricky' Smith

It was a mark of his Richard 'Ricky' Smith's lifestyle that police joked that they were coming for his teeth when they eventually caught up with him.
Smith enjoyed a champagne lifestyle, marrying his wife at the five-star Lowry Hotel, and spending £16,000 on their teeth.
They also splashed out on private healthcare and luxury holidays.
In 2011 Smith was jailed for 11 years for arson, escape and money laundering.
But that spell in prison didn't change his criminal ways.
He's now serving a 10 year sentence for committing seven robberies on cash-in-transit vans in 2017, with other members of the 'Wham Ram Gang', which netted them £288,000.
Manchester Crown Court heard how the gang earned their nickname because of the specially-designed battering ram they used to smash through the internal doors of G4S vans to access cash.
The court heard the tactic was ‘unique’, and forced G4S bosses to change their tactics and increase the strength of security doors.
In August last year, Smith, 38, of Pegwell Drive, Lower Broughton, Salford, was ordered to hand back £57,000 at a Proceeds of Crime hearing.
