U.K. Foreign Office ‘to open talks on slavery reparations’
Telegraph (PayWall) ^ | Feb 7 | Craig Simpson

Posted on 02/07/2025 9:14:19 PM PST by RandFan

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.

It is thought that 40 million indigenous US blacks started out from a stock population of about 300,000 transatlantic slaves.

Liberals are moral absolutists. There reference point to making life right goes right back to the Big Bang.

Thanks for the stats. I’ve seen variations of that list over the years.

That would be my fear, too. As has been said in answer #2, more and more grifters would be attracted to the source of largesse.

They forgot to mention that the British Navy impeded, then completely halted, the West Africa slave trade, more than 200 years ago!

No problem for the West Africans.

They just went back to enslaving their own cousins, which they had been doing for more than 100,000 years, before the Europeans showed up around 1500 A.D.

David Lammy, despite his position, has said he does not see himself as British but instead Caribbean. He is likely the most unqualified person to hold that position in decades.

Caricom should demand money for the Arabs and Africans who sold their ancestors into slavery

Yep, hence the Resolute desk in the oval office. The Royal Navy stopped the Trans-Atlantic (with some help from the US Navy) slave trade. Then the British crushed the slavers in East Africa, I’m looking at your Luo tribe Barky. Damn ingrates.

UK is already broke. They were one of the first to end slavery there and now they want this? I don’t have words for this lunacy.
