Slavery Reparations.....
https:/
No one alive today was involved in slavery, no one alive today is a victim of slavery. So what's going on? Do they just want us to give random sums to random people?

It is utterly ridiculous. Just a bunch of scammers trying it on. If they act like that perhaps relationships will sour. I think we should be wary of getting too close to any supporting these attempts to grab from others until further elections in their nations return leaders with better moral standards and a dislike of trying to steal from others.
Meanwhile perhaps those wanting to discuss this might want to club together to repay those who made slavery officially unacceptable and who helped give many nations a jump to being a more advanced civilised society.

\\Another section of Yemitan's Tinubu biography, referred to as the Amadie-Ojo Affair, captures a slave trading deal gone sour in 1853 (notably after the 1852 Treaty abolishing slavery in Lagos) wherein Tinubu tells another slave trader (Domingo Martinez) that "she would rather drown the slaves [20 in number] than sell them at a discount".[26]//
She still has a statue in Lagos
Others have indicated capitulation though. We are struggling to find the money to keep our village church open for the community because of required buiding work yet the wokey Archbishop of Canterbury is apparently planning to give £100m in 'reparations', if he does many will cease to support the church, me included. If he has £100m then maybe it should go towards helping the living.
Are they demanding reparations from the Spanish, Dutch, and French, for their part in the slave trade and colonisation? How about the Arab states? Are they paying for past transgressions? No. It's only the soft-touch British they're trying to milk. Give in to them now, and they'll all jump on the bandwagon.
