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.
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.
You blokes can pick up the tab for the freeloader caribbeaners.
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.
BTTT
So they finally are going to make the Irish and Scottish whole?
Yes I agree Give them all a one way ticket to Africa on a tramp steamer
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.
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.
