People say “it was a different time” and “you can’t judge historic figures by modern morality”. But the thing is there were plenty of people back in the day who were equally outraged by the idea of slavery, contemporaries the the very first Atlantic slave traders were explaining in human and Christian terms why this was morally indefensible. But as so often money won’t out. Slave traders and slaves owners were able to buy acceptance from the establishment with the fortunes they were making from distorting uncounted human lives. And then the establishment was able to suppress those voices of reason and compassion who tried to stand against slavery in order to “protect the economy”

The people you mention that were equally outraged, The Abolitionist Society, actually did achieve something remarkable, they used the donations from the British people to get their members elected to parliament, and passed the law outlawing slavery in the colonies, it already was in Britain, which forced the Royal Navy to actually commit more forces, there were already 2 ships there trying to combat the transatlantic slave trade, after the end of the Napoleonic wars in Europe, to the fight to end slavery. Many of the ships that were sent to Africa and the Americas were manned by some of the freed slaves, and every slave ship that was captured and had it's slaves freed was celebrated by the people back in Britain. Although the Royal Navy succeeded in it's mission to end the slave trade in Africa, it was ultimately futile, because as soon as the Royal Navy left Africa, the slave trade started up again, but this time it was more circumspect and less open, with many of the former coastal slave markets re-opening further inland, and being almost exclusively for the African domestic market, at least that was the case on the western side of Africa. The East African slave trade was a different matter however, as many of the slaves there were destined for the nations of the middle east, and many of the slaves were transported overland, with the male slaves being castrated, to serve in the hareems, watching over the young women. The Royal Navy was a little less successful here, but still forced the closure of many of the slave markets on or near the coast. Slavery still exists today, of course, particularly throughout Africa and the middle east, one example being a facebook post from 2012 of a middle eastern family offering a 16 year old, castrated, African youth for sale. Your points about the establishment suppressing the voices of reason, mainly happened in the colonies, where the governors had a lot of autonomy, and could ignore the protestations from the Abolitionist Society back in Britain, and line their pockets with backhanders from the plantation owners, but they could not ignore the Royal Navy and Parliament, so slavery was ended throughout those colonies that Britain directly controlled, eventually. I apologise for the wall of text, but I admire the whole idea of a group of people bucking the trend of slavery being a normal thing, throughout the world, and actually doing something about it, and eventually succeeding in wiping it out, for a while at least.

Every Black person in the UK should be sending a letter to Inland Revenue demanding a full repayment of their taxes from their first working day upto 2015. Disgusting!

Easy peasy. Those who have guilt over slave-owning ancestors should formally apologize and surrender their wealth and get a job at the local chip shop.

My great uncle got gassed in Auschwitz - another was starved to death in Theresienstadt. My grandfather was a refugee to Britain as a child and lost his whole family. My family is still affected now by the legacy of this. But I know many German people and would never dream of asking them for reparations or apologies. My Grandfather - I’d understand if he would want that - he lived through it. But me? No. Never. So now, as a ‘white British’ man, I’ve gotta watch a bunch of trustafarians call on the Government to open conversations about reparations for stuff their ancestors did 200 years ago? No thanks. It is true that the United Kingdom needs to find a new story for itself to remain United that enfranchises all who live there. But I don’t believe this stuff will do anything other than increase division. History is history - and I’m thankful for the unique diversity that Britains chequered history has given it. I’d prefer for any efforts made to be directed towards grassroots initiatives to concretise contemporary British identity and community so as to look forward for future generations. I don’t believe picking over hundreds of years of history will help with that. And for the woman being interviewed in New York it’s pretty obvious 100k is Chicken feed and she’s loving the airtime.

My own ancestry is mixed. My mothers side is heavily affected by what happened to my Grandfather…..but me? I have Irish, Scottish (my Jewish Grandfathers wife), English and Dutch blood in my veins as well as Jewish. So how do we go about determining who must be paid reparations and who must pay them? How is it all done fairly? I also have a Dutch friend who’s family benefitted from Nazi Germany through business. What about Vichy French? Must we carry out a European wide ancestral census to evaluate everyone’s links to global historical atrocities? Also - what about all the money that was spent on the 100 year battle that was waged against slavery by the British Navy - and all the lives lost. Surely that would need to be taken into consideration to ensure equity? One more thing - I have a friend from Ghana who’s Asante ancestors were heavily involved in the slave trade. Not just with the British but also the Dutch Portuguese Norwegians and French…..she speaks openly about it. Perhaps it would then also be necessary to evaluate west Africa too. And finally. Don’t forget the Barbary slave trade……there’s a lot of English who were taken into slavery right up til the 18th century by North Africans from Tunisia……maybe they should have reparations? And also the eastern Arab slave trade that was far bigger and long lasting than the trans Atlantic slave trade…..🤷🏼

The French government paid compensation to slave owners in its holdings worth in todays value of 27 billion euros. Which accounted for 7.1% of the French annual expenditure in 1849. 30% of the beneficiaries were also Black and mixed race slave owners. In Jamaica 70,000 out of the 311,000 enslave Africans were owned by free blacks and many of these black owners recieved compensation from the British government. In Haiti free people of colour(mixed race or Black) owned 1/3 of enslaved Africans. Even after the Haitian Revolution ended many who stayed ended up being Haiti's elite and those who fled to regions like Louisiana or Cuba continued their practice of owning human beings. With many becoming extremely wealthy.

This is such a strange phenomenon, people feeling guilty and apologising for something that was done to people long dead by people long dead. It's even stranger that they think it's reasonable to project their feelings onto others too. Slavery has been a factor in every culture and civilization since the beginning of mankind. Britain ended the Trans-Atlantic slave trade at great cost, not just in terms of money but in lives too. The African and Arab slave traders were responsible for much more of the slavery in that period of history. They still operate slavery now. Those in the West who feel they need to do something to ease their misguided sense of guilt would better serve those who currently suffer under slavery by taking actions to end it now. And if they don't think that is a better use of their time and efforts, maybe they should consider what really lies behind their actions.

If you want to apologize then give back money with interest. You wouldn’t be rich if it wasn’t for that slavery. Apologies are hollow if you go right back to oppressing people who have been poor for generations beginning with slavery. Pathetic and shows how people feel a deep inner guilt but refuse to actually do anything to change the society that codified and reinforces that inequity. They say oh let’s apologize and then in the same breath they say let’s cut taxes and refuse to change anything about the economy of the society to actually give descendants of slaves an equal opportunity in the society

The slave owners were paid but the slaves nothing. They have pretty much received the proceeds of crime. It’s crazy although reparations not popular!

​@@figgettit ignorant little Englander... Do you Brits think we fought British rule for centuries for the laugh of it or something? When people fight, they fight for a good reason and when a nation fights it's because something was taken away from them! After the Norman/English Invasion of Ireland in the 1100s, we then had Planters arrive as per The Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century which involved the confiscation of Irish-owned land by the English Crown and the colonisation of land with settlers from Britain. We fought back: The two Desmond Rebellions took place in 1569-1573 and 1579-1583 to *fight against the threat of the extension of the English government* over the province. The successful Battle of Clontibret was *fought against the British* in County Monaghan in 1595. The successful Battle of the Yellow Ford was *fought against the British* in County Armagh in 1598. The Nine Years' War, sometimes called Tyrone's Rebellion took place in Ireland from 1593 to 1603. It was fought between an Irish alliance to *fight against English rule in Ireland.* The Rebellion of 1641 took place when Irish Catholics were being threatened by expansion of the anti-Catholic English Parliament and Scottish Planters and they *rebelled against English and Protestant domination.* The Irish Rebellion of 1798 was a major uprising *against British rule in Ireland.* (The Society of United Irishmen was led primarily by liberal Protestants). The Irish wanted an end to anti-Catholic discrimination, greater Irish self-governance, and to roll back the Plantations of Ireland. The Irish rebellion of 1803 was launched by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* The Easter Rising of 1916 was piloted by Irish republicans *against British rule in Ireland* with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic. The civil rights movement in the early 1960s challenged the inequality and discrimination against ethnic Irish Catholics that was perpetrated by the Ulster Protestant community. Derry activists' marched on the 5 October 1968 in Derry, but were attacked by the RUC and loyalists. THAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF HOW WE HAVE FOUGHT AND RESISTED BOTH BRITISH RULE AND DISCRIMINATION BY THE UNIONIST COMMUNITY!

The countries screaming for reparations should have to pay the British taxpayer who paid off the slave holders to get the British Empire to abolish slavery in 1833

the past is not important at all

Jeeez it happened hundreds of years ago just get over it

Slavery was evil. But there can never be such 'restorative justice'. The people who engaged in the slave trade and slavery itself are long gone, as are the victims. And the cost of any payments would in effect fall upon people today through their taxes

Just a general question I don't understand what it has to do with us or why anyone should get any compensation for something that happened 100's of years ago I understand slavery was awful and I hate the idea of it , but why should descendents of slaves make money or slave owners nobody is a slave today ........

These man seldom admit liability without prompt so I wonder what is going on 🤔

The future is not responsible for the actions of the past.

They weren't there when it happened so nothing to apologies for. It sounds like they're trying to get more visitors in

I cannot understand why working people are being called to compensate for slavery. I can and do support the stripping the riches of those who profited and continue to do so. I believe this is a whole world issue where the global community is guilty of enslavement. As Stalin said "Only the unborn are innocent". Equally, we are all victims, just more are greater victims than others. Equally, there are those more guilty than others and those who still benefit. The British Government still supports slavery in their immigration policies and corruption. Those who benefitted from slavery are still calling the shots and it is they who should pay, not the oppressed working people of this country.

No slave owner were compensated. The slave owners were African people who sold them for money. The slave traders paid the price for the product. It was a business at the time, the same way that nowadays we are modern "slaves". It is like in 200 years time asking for repatriations from our employers for having employed us. Many people until recently would work for food and table. It is only in the last 50 years or so that poor people have become so grand that they go around the world thinking they are in charge of it.

Nobody today needs to appologise, history has been going on for 200000 years. I nobody today was alive then

how about asking the people who actually turned them into a product in the first place , AFRICANS , and they still do it today

So are the viking attacks on the GB, the romans, etc. Men have fought for land and control since times immemorial. And will always. In my opinion slaves had it easy if you compare with the Holocaust and other attrocities. It looks like black people think that because they are black they should be immune to difficulties in life and suffering. Black people need to read about todays world and history books that haven't been rewritten to understand that they were not the only ones who were enslaved. Why don't people who are going on about "repatriations" do something to improve the lives of the black people of today? Is there no need? And the white victims of black people - in the Uk as well. Today's victims want "repatriations" as well. And since we are working the numbers we should see how much this country gives to black people who arrive here to benefit from it.

What nonsense. We are not responsible for anything done by our distant forbears 250 years ago. The black people were compensated when we gave them Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, Grenada, Guyana, the Caymans, Antigua etc. They in turn did not give them back to the Taino or Arawak indians,or offer the natives compensation.
