Descendants of black American slaves are to sue Lloyd's of London for insuring ships used in the trade. BBC

"High-profile US lawyer Edward Fagan, who secured settlements from Swiss companies in the Nazi gold case, is taking the action for 10 plaintiffs.

He says by underwriting slave ships in the 1700-1800s the UK's oldest insurance firm played a key role.

The action, which claims defendants still suffer, was lodged on Monday according to Associated Press."

Someone tell me that this is an early April fools joke
