  1.  @Nw10expat  That compensation stopped the slave trade and Brits made a lot of sacrifices to stop the practice. Maybe if you stopped with the student union style politics and actually looked into it instead of acting so sanctimoniously….

  2. We love apologies and don’t care for grifters so “sowwy”

  3.  @roisinmalone3015  Also decolonisation has been happening a long time. You think the UK hasn’t given a lot of financial aid and benefits to former colonies?? Just out of interest what are you suggesting this compensation amount too?? And how long before others come asking??

  4.  @roisinmalone3015  Er no. Why should we be held responsible for a time long gone but they don’t have to reflect or reimburse?? If you truly cared about justice you would hold everyone responsible. You just want the taxpayers to throw £££ to ease your misplaced guilt. Well you fund your own shame hun.

  5. Hyperbolic word salad. Donate your own cash if you’re so drowning in historical guilt

  6. Look at all these idiots telling you about Stockholm syndrome. You don’t fit their narrative of the forever black victim so they have to correct that. They need you to buckle to identity politics basically and think the way they want you too. Heaven forbid a black person having independent thought or reasoned perspective. You must be brainwashed!!! Slightly patronising?? 🤔

  10.  @trife7419  You don’t need money you want money. That’s what all this guilt tripping is about.

  11.  @Nw10expat  Yep 👍

  12.  @Nw10expat  Oh get off your soap box it’s boring. The fact of the matter is, that icky racist compensation (that was like 20 million $$$) set about in motion a change that freed countless slaves. I understand you’re frustrated at historical injustice and yes it was inhumane and brutal but we can’t reimburse people who haven’t been alive for like 200 years.

  17.  @Nw10expat  I don’t see British Empire banks on the high street either. And yes English have those ancestral links. Have done for over a thousand years. Clever you.

  18.  @Nw10expat  Ok so…. Just banks operating in the country 🤨

  19.  @jpw6893  That’s because she’s regurgitating other people’s talking points.

  20.  @django3422  The British Empire doesn’t exist either so literally by your own logic you have no point.

  22. Yer it’s channel 4. They’d sell their own gran if it scored them some social justice points.

  23.  @roisinmalone3015  Yes I’m well aware of your social justice mission to give tax money away 👍

  24.  @Nw10expat  Woah nice ad hominem’s you got there 👍. And surely the Italian’s just “rebranded” themselves too?? It seems your trying to downplay European slavery…

  25.  @roisinmalone3015  well seeing as the money seems to be the end goal I would like to know what’s being given from the taxpayers…

  27.  @Nw10expat  Take it to a claims court then and stop moaning

  28.  @Nw10expat  Well Rachey, If you feel so strongly you can always donate your money seeing as you’re a fellow Brit and so obviously minted from all that stolen wealth. Also what about Africa and the Middle East?? Do they have to pay compensation for their role?? Or is it just our country you wish to bankrupt?? Woke pleb

  29.  @Spintwirl  What about if you’re personally broke?? Like no stolen wealth to speak of. Do you still need to contribute your limited money for these historical crimes??

  30.  @dorynekott5854  Yer that’s highly emotional but really stupid logic. It’s passed down through the Crown?? Like a curse from angry woke BAME members?? And yer you look stupid talking about fresh pain in your heart. It was like 200 years ago. You’re probably under 30 😂. Stop leeching off the misery of slavery.

  31.  @fegeleinantics7898  Unfortunately we have a new generation of entitled, self loathing supposed liberals who generally hate everything about the country and love to attack anyone who challenges their woke echo chamber. We’re all far right to them you see. They see it as “enlightened” and a badge of honour to wallow in their ignorance. And channel 4 dishes it to them. Pathetic really. Fortunately a few sensible minds still around.

  32.  @jchatoyer  The British Empire doesn’t exist anymore so you’ve just voided your argument 🤡

  33. Probably best to leave this fascist nazi nightmare of a country for a more progressive liberal one. Russia maybe??
