'It may have been a long time ago, but there are obviously current-day consequences.' Leading UN judge, Patrick Robinson, says the UK will no longer be able to ignore calls for slavery reparations. It’s been suggested Britain owes £18.8 trillion. Is it time to pay reparations?

We owe nobody anything.

My great great great grand father murdered a man, should I pay compensation to his family now? Why should my current tax money pay for for history? Ridiculous concept to give money to corrupt West Indian politicians just to steal. They won’t invest a penny of it in their country. I come from there so I know. What is wrong is that we only just paid off the debt to compensate slave owners. That money should be paid back. Why should they have profited? That is the wrong bit of all this.

Never. This will never happen. All roots of that trade are African where the trade was centred. Nigerians, Ghanaians were amongst the richest people on Earth. The war against African slavery was British alone & fought against native slavers who supplied Arabs until 20th century.

Oh, cut it , I’m not even responsible for my father’s 💩let alone my ancestors back in the 7th century..I owe you nothing!Whatever I have I worked hard, not a penny help, so you can do me a favour

Can we get reparations for innocence stolen in Rotheram

£18.8 trillion... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The UK should absolutely ignore this delusional judge. A poor man in his own lifetime can prosper from his own efforts, yet this man is calling for people who've not committed a crime to compensate those who were not victims.

With the Slavery Abolition Act Britain used 40% of its national budget to pay slave owners to free their slaves. The Royal Navy spent the next 10 years patrolling the seas to stop slaves being transported We’ve paid all our dues and demands and nearly bankrupt ourselves doing it

No worries. I've plucked some figures out of my arse too. Roman invasion = 9.4 trillion Viking invasion = 9.4 trillion We'll break even, job done

Stick your reparations up you're ass.
