The Foreign Office is to open talks on slavery reparations with Caribbean officials demanding trillions of pounds from the UK, sources have claimed...
David Lammy’s department is understood to be looking at April to meet members of the Reparations Commission of the Caribbean Community (Caricom), a political grouping of 15 states that has long demanded compensation from former colonial powers.
According to Caribbean sources, the meeting has been planned as part of a Caricom delegation of officials and political leaders who will restate demands that Britain pay for its role in the slave trade.

You’ll be SORRY!!!
You will be inviting Buzzards, Hogs, Vampires and Piranhas over to your home for dinner.
The pioneers of slavery abolition are going to pay un-owed “reparations”? I’d say only Labour could think of that, if it were not for the Red Tories advancing it before them.
Brits are cucks.
Can they throw in another $60 trillion to pay off the American reparationists?
Are any former slaves still alive?
I’m guessing the U.S. blacks will be suing the U.K. for the years prior to JANUARY 14, 1784.
I thought the British government already compensated slave owners for the slaves that were freed.
And it will never end once it starts.
The British Crown nearly bankrupted itself paying for the reparations they made for silvery. They owe nothing.
The UK ended slavery in stages:
1. 1807 - The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act: This law made it illegal to trade enslaved people within the British Empire but did not free those already enslaved.
2. 1833 - The Slavery Abolition Act: This act officially abolished slavery in most of the British Empire. However, enslaved people were forced into a period of "apprenticeship" (essentially continued forced labor) until 1838.
3. 1838 - Full Emancipation: The apprenticeship system was abolished, and enslaved people were fully freed.
There were still exceptions, as slavery remained legal in some territories like India until later reforms in the 19th century.
Nothing more than virtue signaling here.
From Statista website:
The estimated total number of slaves in the 1800s ——
Portugal / Brazil: 5,099,815.
Britain: 2,733,324.
France: 1,164,967.
Spain / Uruguay: 884,922.
Netherlands: 475,240.
U.S.A: 252,652.
Denmark/Baltics: 91,733.

US had that small an amount? (although one slave was one too many and a blight on our history).
How are the reparations funding agreements going in Netherlands, Spain, Portugal & Brazil and so on.
Haven’t heard.
Do you count zombies and ghosts?
Otherwise: Zero.
You blokes can pick up the tab for the freeloader caribbeaners.
Wikipedia summary:
“As part of the triangular trade-system, ship-owners transported enslaved West Africans to European possessions in the New World (especially to British colonies in the West Indies) to be sold there. The ships brought commodities back to Britain then exported goods to Africa. Some plantation owners brought slaves to Britain, where many of them ran away from their masters.”
And the Marshall Plan?
The Caribbean nations should be paying Britain.
Hanno perso la testa!!! Idioti!! Imbecilli! Perdenti!! Piccole puttane!!
OK, now that my venting is done...
I dont have the words.
The WELFARE STATE was reparations...and it costs MANY Trillions.
Here and there.
Again, we don’t deserve the savior we have had sent to us in the form of Trump.
But thank you God for delivernig him to us...we should have fought our own battle YEARS, DECADES AGO...but we didn’t...we waited for a hero and he is here.
To make sure this INSANITY doesn’t happen here!!
Get a ####ING JOB and stop putting your hands out!!
Everyone associated with slavery is DEAD!!
They DEAD owners can pay the DEAD slaves.
Im good with that.
U.S.A: 252,652.
Back in high school, I was taught the Confederacy had a population of 9 million. That included 5 million whites and 4 million slaves. The Union had a population of 21 million.
That was one reason given for the South's defeat. The Union had a larger population of fighting men. And the South couldn't even field all their fighting men because some had to stay home to guard the slaves.
