If the UK has to pay reparations, will other countries?

[Controversialname]

If the UK is made to pay reparations where will that leave other nations who were or indeed still are involved in slavery?

I really don't understand, @DanaJune11, why you think tax for the individual wouldn't increase.

It absolutely would.

And no, you have not answered as to where the money should come from. You insist we pay and leave the govt to decide the details - completely absolving yourself ot the harm that causes to the department the funds are taken from.

I merely have to hope education is left the frick alone this Wednesday because if not, my household's sustainability will be directly affected. And my mental health

But hey, as long as you look virtuous.

Rather than spend forever repeatedly saying "I've already answered it", could you perhaps make it easier for those of us who have read the whole thread but missed it, and repeat it one more time?

I've paid working tax all my working life that will have contributed to that- as did my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents etc. Not a single one of my ancestors was ever involved in the slave trade in any way. Should I get the money back.

Would you perhaps elaborate? Could you provide, say, a paragraph, listing maybe ten points? Or even five or six facts?

To who though?

To the countries that want them back for their own museums - Nigeria, Greece, New Zealand.

Even that isn't totally clear-cut though. Not all countries are in a position to offer safe custodianship.

I don't think it is workable. And I say that as an Irish person. Obviously then we would be justified in asking for reparations - our population has still not recovered from the famine where the British callously shipped food being grown here out of the country. And our culture and language was decimated which still leaves a mark today.

I don't think there would be an end to the wrongs of Britain. I think it's more about acknowledging the wrong and having policies that improve life in the counties affected.

I dont know who you are. I'm a bit alarmed that you are now stalking me .

Here's an insight for you petal. People on mumsnet always post on more than one thread.

It's called a forum . Most posters post on more than on thread.

Can you stop stalking me now

Reported for bringing another thread that has nothing to do with this thread, into this one.

"shameless bitch descendants of slave owners" - and yet Mumsnet have removed comments for much less. Something tells me the moderators on shift today have a bias.

Google it yourself.

Im extremely informed thanks.

Note that I didn't use any insult againt you?

I have manners. Some people on here could learn some

What shall we cut?

I see you didn't reply when you were asked why you were insulting people on this thread.

And yes you have thrown insults at more than one poster.

Where does your severe aggression come from?

Already answered twice. I won't answer the same question more than twice.

I saw an Irish podcast recently. The presenters were saying that they want reparations From the UK aswell.

I didn't use any insult against you. I stated you seem uninformed. You do. You make statements as if they are facts and then, despite being asked for specific examples, can not provide them. You make suggestions about things which should happen which have already been taking place for many decades.

@Danajune11 I'm still waiting for you to give me a bit more detail about the specific harms that individual countries have suffered, and how those harms impact on their current living residents. Two or three examples should do.

I dont take demands from people. I told you to Google it yourself. You're an adult. You're well able to do it

.

Of course they want reparations as well! Everyone wants to get their hand in the sweetie jar! 😂 Reparations...I've never heard such a con.

Answer me this, why are the commonwealth leaders seeking reparations from the UK?

Two or three examples will suffice. Thanks.

You don't know, do you? You've picked up on some general fashionable sentiment but you're completely lacking in the actual historical knowledge to provide a coherent argument.

Yes of course i do pet. I just don't do things for people, when they are well able to do it themselves.

Right will you compile a list for ne:

Why are the commonwealth countries seeking reparations from the UK?

Five examples will do.
