  1. Britain also had an empire spanning 75% of the world, slaughtering, stealing, and persecuting. And now some fat buffoon with a naughty schoolboy haircut is ruining the country.

  2. By today's money, that's well over 100 million pounds, so when are you going to give it back Laura? The idea of reparations for ills committed before the time or memory of anybody living is ridiculous. White intellectuals flagellating themselves for things presumably, that they would not have done today. Reparations are stealing money from people who largely never benefited, to give to people who never directly suffered. To be clear, most Britons in the early 1800s lived in squalid conditions. THEIR babies died at the age of 1. They lived lives of hardship and misery, albeit without the whips and shackles. If you want to take up a fight, target modern day slave owners like Bezos and Musk.
