You never know, he may be hung like a stallion hence the awful grimace to fit it all in.
I somehow doubt it though.......

Money & Votes
Maybe our compensation seeking friend should use her mouth to sort out modern slavery :

And B'Liar stop fishing for votes over a tragedy, something he has form for - Various royal funerals, terrorist atrocities, NHS etc.
Personally I feel no guilt, just sorrow at the facts surrounding Slavery and the depravity of using it as a meal ticket.
Cannibalism is quite interesting if repulsive, I hadn't realised it was so widespread so recently.
Cannibalism has been reported in several recent African conflicts, including the Second Congo War, and the civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Typically, this is apparently done in desperation, as during peacetime cannibalism is much less frequent. Even so, it is sometimes directed at certain groups believed to be relatively helpless, such as Congo Pygmies. It is also reported by some that African traditional healers sometimes use the body parts of children in their medicine.

Has anyone heard if the Nigerian, Ghanaian and other Slave Coast countries are going to apologise and stump up compensation as well?
I remember when the publicity for Mahommed Ali's "rumble in the jungle" used the publicity slogan "out of slavery to freedom" and had to withdraw it rapidly in Africa - it hadn't even occurred to them that the remaining black population of Africa were the ones who had sold the slaves in the first place. If there's one thing worse than being a slaver, it's enslaving and selling your own kinsmen!
As for the "abolition of the slave trade", it was only abolished within the British sphere of influence - due to the fact that we didn't really have the sea-power to police the entire planet. Portugal, for instance, continued slaving from the Congo and further South across to South America. And of course slavery existed for some time afterwards. It was still common in Nigeria, for instance through into the 1960's (and is still quite common in parts of the Middle East and Asia).
All our fault I suppose
