It's all the rage at the moment so I have a thought.
The idea would be that the UK government would fund this in whatever way it was agreed whether that be simply loads of money or development investment in those countries or whatever.
It's fair to say that very few people in the UK benefited from the slave trade when it existed. A small number of families made absolute fortunes while the vast bulk of the population got nothing out of it.
But then the government agreed to provide compensation to those slave owners to make up for their 'loss of earnings' from the vile trade when it was abolished.
So they borrowed £20 million to provide that compo and we have been paying back that debt for the last 200 years (until 2015). That £20 million, allowing for inflation, would now equate to £16/17 billion.
So rather than saying we should all pay reparation why not make those families pay it all back. Let's say £50 billion. Sounds a nice number to me.
And if it was argued that in some small way we all benefited from the trade then it could be said that we've already paid our dues because the £16/17 billion came out of ordinary peoples taxes. |  | | |  |

I know that was a big issue, but if you look at his last post on the thread in which he was banned it was an insult directed at me. |

If the EU had any control over their border and criminals moving through their territory and an entire continent unchecked there wouldnt be an issue. |
The point is Brexit promised to fix it.
Whatever the reasons, Brexit did not fix it.
Thats just facts. | |

If you supported Keith and the site, you wouldn't have made the derogatory comments you made about William and Catherine, and wasn't man enough to admit you were totally wrong and apologise.

None of us .NONE of us is responsible nor should we send a penny to those we colonised .
ALL of us should stand firm on this
British pensioners paying for the deeds of their distant lords of the Manor
Any. Money given to Jamaica or Africa will be squandered in the way they squandered vast resources of the likes of Rhodesia or Congo | |

The UK Tory govt insisted that we change the colour of our passports, and insisted the the union flag is flown above the dragon flag in Cymru where both flags are flown. Apparently these were important enough to get sorted whilst unfinished Brexit shot us in the foot and Covid raged.
Culture war nonsense.
Ordinary people more worried about the cost of heating and foods.
Remember the ‘Nightingale’ that were never used due to no nurses ?
Great name though so Johnson’s job is done.
Culture and spin more important than delivery and people. |
What about the Enfys hospitals...whose fault were they? How mcu did they cost Wales? Did we have the staff for them? How many people went into an Enfys? | | | |

No idea, why don't you look it up and tell us.
I know Johnson’s failed Nightingale hospitals cost £530 million. | |

Can’t answer for the whole of Wales, but I can tell you that the enfys hospitals in West Wales were definitely used to receive non Covid patients from the main hospitals. There were rigid testing schemes in place and only Covid free patients were sent to the Enfys’s. | | | |

Lucky we now have a Labour Govt. They promised they would fix it when on the Opposition bench.
I await with baited breath. | |

I called Buckingham Palace on numerous occasions to try to check, but they never called me back.
Meanwhile - Usa today published this -
Fake photos.
Princess Kate has cancer. The royal family created a scandal by bungling the story.
Instead of maintaining silence, Kensington Palace should have been transparent about Princess Kate's abdominal condition and recovery timeline following her surgery.
Eleanor McManus | Opinion contributor
It almost sounds like Putin must be controlling Buckingham Palace then ?
Or we would just have to accept that Buckingham Palace ‘created a scandal by bungling the story’, and that cant be true as well they are good Brits obviously. 🇬🇧 | |
