- The Foreign Office is set to discuss trillions of pounds in slavery reparations with Caribbean officials, sources claim.
For the first time, a Caricom delegation will come to Britain in April, demanding the UK pay for its colonial past.
After 14 years of Tory resistance, Britain is now facing mounting pressure to hand over vast sums for historical wrongs.
Peter Cardwell speaks with former Labour Party adviser, Mike Buckley and political theorist, Ralph Schoellhammer.

19,000 British soldiers lost their lives enforcing the ban on the transatlantic slave trade - a trade African states wanted to keep going.
And many have kept it going.. to this very day. And have zero intention of stopping.
Look up the British ship called the hms black joke. It's actually a lovely story.
Perhaps there should be reparations paid to the descendants of the sailors.....
Think it's a great idea, Rome owns Britain a fortune, so do the vikings descendents, Banbury pirates plus many more. What crap, past is done move on
non of these people were/are slaves,
just like we were never owners of slaves
They should start at the source---- Africa
Decades of foreign aid has already gone to these Country's.
We are owed reparations from THEM.
We owe them nothing, and they will accept it
Roadhouse
Can I take Lois out on a date, Peter ?
Its time Labour stopped trying to pass themselves off as a working class movement there a Woke movement, a totally different and idiology.
It’s not even woke.
It’s currently the party of the WEF. They are more interested in redistributing British wealth to other countries. It’s a sure fire way to break the UK
I'm so angry that the racist foreign secretary is stirring up trouble for our country.
Just a bank raid? Slavery has existed since way back!
Lamy is a disgrace 😤
What's next? We in the Nordic country's paying for what the Vikings did?
This. Every time I hear the argument for reparations, my argument is the same - the Danes, Germans, French and Italians owe us big time if that's the case! Like minded spirit ❤
@@EdgyMTBand the North Africans who stole over one million Europeans, English and Irish. Will they pay?
lol no question of that. It’s only the British people that are hated.
That is exactly how absurd this is. Maybe Lindisfarne should ask for reparations from the Vikings. Crazy. Lammy is a race baiter.
No , we owe them nothing.
Quite the opposite in fact. We are owed.
what about white slavery are we going to ask for reparations
There is modern slavery going on in the Caribbean now, their leaders should address that, we will just be lining corrupt officials pockets and who knows maybe Lammy's as well, why is he pushing this nonsense!?!
One word. NO.
Haven't we paid enough with lives and aid already
Absolutely no reparations. I played ZERO part in it... My tax money shouldn't be spent on it.
The amount of grifting, thieving and money laundering of UK taxpayers money is staggering.......
Lammy loves to give away our UK🇬🇧 tax funds.......
Ludicrous Labour can be relied on to be anti British.
How much can I have from the Romans, Vikings, Normans and Nazis? Oh and the Barbary Pirates?
Buckley comes across as racist.
I totally agree. What he said was rascist to me. Saying because we are white we don't understand, disgusting and shameful !!! I'm white and I've been a victim of rascism. I definitely understand.
There is modern day slavery in the Caribbean currently so their leaders haven't learned anything from their ancestors being colonial slaves, they have continued it, we have learnt from our ancestors though and put a stop to it in the West at great cost to us, so that's as far as it goes, it's a load of rubbish!?!
we cant understand because we are white , how bad is that statement right there , im white british 48 and am proud of what we did to stop it , im also proud that i had a hand in stopping it just like anyone else who has payed tax in the uk between 1833 when we took out the £20 million loan until it was finally paid off in 2015 , yes just 10 years ago , plus who was actually selling them to us and the rest of the world , who actually get these trillions of pounds for things that happened 200 years ago , the whole world was involved but only we were the ones to finally put a stop to it , what would the world be like today if we just went along with everyone else and didnt end it instead , i bet it would still be as bad as it was back then
I personally will not give any more money to the so-called starving Africans. I'm fed upto the back teeth of being called racist 😤
Chucking more of our money away, great.
What about white slavery, how come no one ever talks about that.
If it wasnt for Britain fighting to abolish slavery, people would have been slaves in that era , for hundreds of more years.
These people should be thanking us not moaning about something they never experienced.
Why not worry about slavery today in gulf countries today?
There is slavery going on in modern-day Britain today. But no one cares about that because it isn't done by white people.
We should pay nothing
Isn't the £15.3 billion we give abroad each year compensation enough, which "black " country is sending foreign aid to any other countries, India, Pakistan, Botswana, Kenya , Ivory Coast etc what money do they send abroad ...NONE !
They don't give. They only take. They all do, not just African countries.
No we bloody shouldn’t
What is this Labour beardy on about we "should help these Countries to develop"?
We built them all railways,bridges ,buildings,houses,roads and gave most of them a judicial system they still use.
It's not our fault that they couldn't sort themselves out in the 200 years since we left them ,(and put an end to slavery).
Maybe the Arab slave traders and tribal chief's descendants should be the ones paying out as they sold the slaves in the first place?
We'll also ignore the millions of slaves still on the African continent and the slave markets in Libya,shall we?
His 👅 is right up lammy"s @$$ !!!!
Great posting, totally agree
still happening there so perhaps do something about it
We're always paying money to these countries one way or the other. What do they do with all the money??I think I'm going to stop giving to charities We're giving it all ways.
@@DeborahBullock-j4b
I looked up what most charities pay their CEOs and no longer give them anything.
Most are on over £100,000 whilst their tin rattlers get nothing,and a very small proportion actually goes to the charity's causes.
If my great great grandfather had a trip, slip, or fall at work, that wasn't his fault, InjuryLawyersForYou wouldn't pay me.
These people are not their great great grandfathers...
It's twisted and bizarre. "I'm afraid, as Caribbean people, we are not going to forget our history. We don't just want an apology, we want reparations." Man, what a huckster. Lammy was born in London. Lammy graduated from Harvard Law. Lammy is the British Foreign Minister. But 'our people' need reparations. What a huckster...
He is a racial biggot....and can't see his status in our nation.
We pay his wages.....what a
🐕💩🤡🔔🔚
Ask Us, it’s our money!.
No we shouldn't.
Going history, the people of Britain understand slavery just as well as any Caribbean. Our ancestors were taken for slaves by foreign lands. See the Barbary slave trade, for example. We must say no to reparations until we get our slice of this nonsense pie.
Mike Buckley isnt one who has had to struggle recently.
The Italians should pay reparations for the Romans having held ancient Britons as slaves in Wales… But what would I know? I’m White!
What about America and other European countries. What about Muslim countries which still take slaves today ... Why always Britain. And why should I pay for something I had nothing to do with .
The last English slave was sold to africans in the 1890s decades after we had ended the worldwide slave trade , so yes, we also need reparations from africa
And slavery still exists in africa to this day
Get all the billions back that we have sent to Africa in aid.
Stop sending aid to all these countries.
How does one 'cost' reparations. All the islands will continue to demand monies... what happened to slavery ongoing and past historical events. The UK Gov. over MANY years has paid these Caribbean islands and countries millions with infrastructure, hospitals, schools health... Many of the islands are now independent countries responsible for their own economies. The UK has NO.. ZERO... responsibility for paying for slavery. African countries still have 'slaves'. What about the Scottish Crofters and Irish famine individuals who left the Uk to seek a better life but were also 'enslaved' in the varying territories where they ended up. The UK ENDED slavery... this man who is talking about white people don't understand slavery what an INSULT.
Nothing simple No
What about asking the Arabs and there part in the slave trade
we dont owe even 1 penny of reporations
nothing
The best way we could help the Caribbean is to stay well away, imo.
What if the descendants of the plantation owners paid. My family never owned slaves. We never made a penny out of this trade.
Sack Lammy.
Absolutely no problem if someone wants to pay reparations out of their own pocket, but you're not getting a penny from me
You won't have a choice, it will come out of the raised taxes
Sorry we paid the slave owners compensation from the UK taxes .
Should we have paid that to them or is that corrupt?
Why an they be compensated but the people who suffered can't and why does taxpayer money pay for that !m
@CorinaGilligan they weren't compensated the money paid to them by the british government was to buy their slaves and then free them
Surely, retired people want reparations as the government has turned what we thought was a pension into a benefit while pensioners pay towards government gold-plated pensions ?.
The UK is ruled by a Labour socialist government with an absolute majority in parliament - so even the most unthinkable is possible.
What's 'socialist' about this government?
@@johnkitching2248the same as the German socialists in the 1930s & 40s
How many of your brain cell are working so we can expliain@@johnkitching2248
How do i make a claim for my ancestors being roman slaves
Absured?
🤣
Didn't the UK tax payers just finish paying this off? Vile
Liebour are not for the British people
IS IT BECAUSE I'M WHITE!!!
This country has gone to the dogs,i can tell you my life hasnt been easy and im so called privlaged.
The money should come from the Ancestors of the people who drove the trade, not the ancestors of the people who had no choice, and struggled to survive.
We shouldn't be paying them a penny, they should be paying us.
The majority of them today simply would not even exist, without British innovations in tech, farming, travel, engineering and medicine.
No, we are not responsible for the past. The sins of our ancestors aren't our sins, we didn't enslaved anyone
The upper classes are responsible they should pay reparations because they had slaves the ordinary people that is us had no slaves.
The king should pay too
So basically people that have never had slaves have to pay money to people who have never been slaves because of something that happened generations ago!....
Start at the source. Africa
How about something “practical, tangible” helping all those feeling affected by slavery return to Africa, or wherever they feel they originated.
Repatriation not reparation.
Is this being pushed forward by no win no fee lawyers?
*ABSURD
NO absolutely not. We owe these people nothing. Not one of these people have ever been a slave so how would they know ?
Can we go after Italy for repatriations becayse how the Romans enslaved British people?? Just asking!
still going on in some countries but because it is certain demographic Libya
When will it end????
The enslaved and the enslavers are all dead, so we can't do anything about it now!
If this goes ahead Downing street will learn what Molotovs feel like
What's all this "we" business, about what "we" did wrong?
the people responsible, the ones who were enriched always like to hide within a group and try to share or dilute that responsibility with others not involved it's why they so often blame 'whites' for all the ills of mankind when in fact it was a small group of so called elites who happened to be white.
Why should people that have never owned a slave pay reparations to people that have never been a slave?
What about the loan the UK paid to free the slaves? The owners would never have released them otherwise, it was like paying kidnappers. The tax payer only finished paying this in 2015!
Bad example, as kidnapping was always a crime, but when it happened slavery wasn’t seen as a crime.
Trillions not Billions !
He is labour, does not understand the value of money and where it comes from. They just spend, spend, spend.
Hell no, if we hand out one single penny then the gloves come off and it's open season on all the mp's that support it.
we should p[ay nothing and stop all foreign aid british tax money for british ppl britsh homes for british ppl why should my oney pay another country i never had slaves and neither did my family
I presume spain and the rest of the world will be paying for what they did.
what's next ffs this is way beyond ridiculous.. hold the UK responsible for what is in the past that was pretty much ended by the UK, bite the hands of your help is the new way of life
The guy Mike Buckley needs to get real. He lives in a dream land.. He needs to LIVE in the islands of the Caribbean to discover what rubbish he is speaking.... ITS ALL political saying things that people want to hear but just talk.
ENDLESS, BOUNDLESS CAPTIAL-LETTER , PERRENIAL, NADA!!!!!., NADA DE NADA DE NADA, Dadda.!!!!!
_ABSURED_ ? - ooh Talk TV, that's embarrising!
What's he on about we don't know what it's like to be slaves because we're white? Black people don't even know what it's like to be slaves because none of them that are calling for reparations have ever been slaves.
As a side note to whites not knowing how slavery is like this guy needs to learn basic history. The Barbary Slave Trade of white europeans to africans and white european Slavic people called Slavs were enslaved and the term then formed into slave. So whites would know about slavery we just don't moan about it.
Why do we keep talking about this, it's history, forget it and grow some 😊
No no no no no
The Labour Advisor is more evidence of why they should never be in Government ever
Definitely not
This again......
When Africa pays, we can think about it.
Foxtrot Oscar, and that includes “I’m Caribbean Lammy”. We owe them the square root of FA
Uk is running out of money where the hell are they going to get 19 billion pounds!!!
and yet they have no mandate from the public to do so
While at the same time turning a blind eye to modern day slavery in Africa and the middle east, reparations for the Caribbean....What a crock of shite!!!!
Is this being pushed forward by no win no fee lawyers?no win no fee's lawyers rubbing there hands.
If we pay anything to the immigrants, they should leave the UK immediately. If they want to return they will have to pay the same.
I do think we should pay reparations of one million pounds to each claimant, with a 100% tax on it, taken at source lest they try to skip off.
followed by repatriation
Your right its absurd
We paid in blood. We were the ones who stopped it. We only just paid off the debt it put us in. We owe nothing. There can't be a single one of them alive today, who suffers because of it.
But, but, but, £22 billion black hole!
Lammy is as much use as a MUD FLAP
If someone could let me know when the Benin slave trade empire are putting their hands in their pockets.
I'm not going to hold my breath.
No
Right how are people paying people smugglers to come to England slaves?
Has him with the marbles in his mouth looked at a history book omg
How about royalties in return for modernity and medical science that was passed on?
Absolutely not ! .
