Britain didn’t “grant” Caribbean people Britishness, empire imposed it. Generations were made British by force: taken, renamed, anglicised, and folded into a system that built its wealth on their captivity.

'WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO A JEW?' Britain not being forced to reckon with colonialism and slavery has helped sanitise British imperialism and dilute the historical scale of its destruction of societies. This video clip shows the cognitive dissonance of former British member of Parliament and GB News host Jacob Rees-Mogg, who argued with Imarn Ayton - Activist and Trainer that British imperialism was a force for good. He ignored the exploitative nature of colonialism, whereby the British empire imposed its systems primarily for its benefit, dispossessing colonised populations of natural-resource wealth. The claim that Britain ‘gave’ the Caribbean rule of law, democracy, and capitalism is a selective historical narrative that downplays colonialism’s impact on millions of victims. These communities had working systems before the British imposed theirs, with British hegemony influencing generations of Global South people to erase from their collective minds the archives of knowledge and tradition. By suggesting Caribbean nations should be grateful for British colonialism, Rees-Mogg minimises the devastating impacts of forced labour, resource extraction and systemic racism, creating inequalities still present to this day in formerly colonised countries. In 2023, as part of 'international reconciliation,' 15 Caribbean countries announced they sought $33 trillion in slavery reparations, with Britain alone billed for $19.6 trillion.
