Original Note:
It's false to claim this as "fact". There is no economic consensus on contribution of slavery and colonialism to UK wealth. Some research has suggested slavery and colonialism actually hindered UK economic growth, though some recent studies suggest it provided a small benefit. https://www.aei.org/articles/did-slavery-make-the-west-rich/
