I mean when he puts it like that. However surely he should be looking to his modern day black slave owners that is then leaders of the African countries whom have no issue absorbing wealth and not sharing it appropriately.
Grifters
Grow the hell up
They want everything it seems,go and do one.
England did more to end the slave trade than any other country. I am very proud of this. Everyone should be.
NO NO NO AND NO
Spongers
Ridiculous. Can the Turks pay reparations and the Italians. Not to mention the Chinese and Japanese. Get a grip get over slavery. Find a new identity please 🙏
these countries don’t care about their ancestors suffering under slavery, they just want free money
Get a Job.
I think the Italians should give us reparations for enslaving our ancestors, jn that case. Wiped out native Brythonic identity in England and many tribes.
People see through this as a cash grab. Who pays and who receives the money?😊
They don't seem to be able to improve themselves without help. What does that say?
Yes as an Irish man …. 700 years of slavery we get our country back
Never happening
Since Britain fought wars to get rid of slavery, they should bill the blacks for doing that.
If one group of people gets reparations, we all should get reparations,the British people were enslaved by pirates in North Africa,the vikings of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Romans of Italy to name afew,they better get they wallets ready,it's only fare if everybody is treated the same.
People who are against Reparations have no idea what the slaves truly suffered
Trump 2024
England also benefited more that a lot of the other wicked countries
Africans…the most terrible slavers the world has ever seen…and they're still slaving in Africa now…
Can we have a refund on all the aid we've sent to Africa, please ?
Wonder if the government will pay bsck money to its own people for slavery
Usual lot demanding more free stuff
This story is just a virtue signal by the established order.
U all are dishonest and refuse to acknowledge the fact that uk benefitted tremendously from slave trade
Colonizers paid taxes to treasury.
Look at Liverpool and Bristol. Became rich. Uk benefitted from slave trade period
Go and read
The King of Benin made a fortune outta selling Africans to the Portuguese. In todays money it would be around 154 billion. The Portuguese, Spanish and French were the biggest slavers not the British.
Essentially what they're saying is "we've had nearly 200 years since slavery but because we're either lazy,have no ingenuity,
entrepreneurial skill or just can't be bothered to do it for ourselves,we need u lot to come in,give us money & build up all our businesses & countries because we can't"..utter joke, slavery was A GLOBALLY ACCEPTED PRACTICE FOR CENTURIES..until we did more than any other nation in history & paid an absolute fortune to stop the practice…but instead of never ending gratitude,we get begging,
guilt trip calls..unbelievable.makes u wonder why the fk we bothered?
He said all that with a straight face 😂😂😂😂
