"The Foreign Office is to open talks on slavery reparations with Caribbean officials demanding trillions of pounds from the UK, sources have claimed. 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, are planning to come to Britain in April. According to Caribbean sources, a 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."

I have decided to donate my winter fuel payment to this worthy cause because you have to remember that Labour has a 22 billion pound black hole to fuel in order that they can get us to Net Zero very quickly before they can pay out large amounts of money for things that happened two hundred years ago.
I hope that the French and Spanish are also coughing up, actually, no I don't because I don't care about anything that I can't influence and this is certainly in that category!

Known slavery goes back 8000 years and was world wide as well as being common practice. As well as different countries taking slaves different tribes in the same country did so too. Historically virtually everyone is guilty.

Pakistani male grooming gangs are still taking under privileged white indigenous girls for slaves in the UK 🇬🇧

Who opened this can of worms? :blue:

Can you imagine the response if these Reparation grifters tried pulling this stunt in Trump's America, the best they could hope for would be an impolite two word answer.

Peace at last...

The United States announced Friday that it has approved the sale of more than $7.4 billion worth of bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons with devastating capabilities in the war in Gaza, according to Agence France-Presse. The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a statement that the State Department had approved the deal, which "includes the sale of bombs, guidance kits and igniters worth $6.75 billion, in addition to Hellfire missiles worth $660 million."

Not a chance.

North African Arab slave traders, local African tribesmen, Belgians, Germans, French, Portuguese, Dutch, US colonialists were all at it. Lammy needs to grow a pair and tell them to pfhuck right off. :mad:

At least idiots should think again before attacking Israel, any rag-tag army should think twice before any action is attempted. Which fools would attack, knowing Israel has more than enough to defend itself?

Doesn't Britain enjoy its sea route to the East via the Suez cannel? Loose that passage and your oil, food prices cost of living etc ,all would rise.
