Have you ever heard something so ridiculous, no one alive was a slave and no one alive ever owned a slave, perhaps they should search for those who sold them in the first place and the money we spent freeing every slave and ending slavery.

My wife went to the Caribbean.

Jamaica?

No she was snatched off a beach by local slavers.

Hope they're told in no uncertain terms to take a hike.

[bookbinder]

It isn't logical for someone who wasn't taken as a slave to demand reparations from someone who did not do the slave-taking.

I recall the murder of a couple in Antigua a few years ago.  They tied the knot and went on honeymoon.  Less than a month after their nuptials they were buried side by side in the church where they married.  I don't believe their griefstricken families ever received a formal apology or reparation...

I hope these bloodsuckers are told in no uncertain way to Foxtrot Oscar.

Sounds like a con! Didn't the countries benefit from all the cotton picking that was going on? The rent from these vast lands?? The building & selling of their palatial homes? The handouts certainly won't be paid to families in Africa.

Perhaps we should send out a ship to take all these descendants of slaves to take them back to Africa,free of charge.I wonder if there will be any takers?

[anneasquith]

Pass that one to the ' royals' they have loads of cash for ' shaking hands ' . 🤗🤗🤗

[ynnafymmi]

Perhaps we can ask the Murrells for say £600,000 to help the poor slavery descendants plight?😉

[Bobbisox1]

AnneA anyone would think you were anti-royal 😝😝😝😝😝

[naomi24]

You wouldn't want their job, anneasquith.  Neither would I.

[Bobbisox1]

As long we get repatriation from the Romans and the descendants of the Vikings, it's only fair 🙃

[douglas9401]

More chance of getting reparations I think.

[anneasquith]

" you wouldn't want their job", how do you know ?

[royfromaus]

Well, would you?

[bobbinwales]

Wealth of royal family is about £20 billion....that's still 15.6 trillion short anneasquith

[Old_Geezer]

I feel sure any such Caribbean Nations will know exactly where they need to place any ludicrous demands.

[Old_Geezer]

They have to have a proper job before anyone can decide whether they'd want it.

[webbo3]

To put it into context.

 

What is the combined wealth of all the world's billionaires?

In the 37th annual Forbes list of the world's billionaires, the list included 2,640 billionaires with a total net wealth of $12.2 trillion, down 28 members and $500 billion from 2022

[douglas9401]

Irieeeee. 🇯🇲

[Gromit]

The Royals and the aristocracy made vast fortunes from the slave trade.

History was going to catch up with them eventually :-(

Unfortunately they don't have the£ 16 Trillion demanded, and Netflix are growing tired of tacky documentaries about our knobs.
