Dawn Butler makes a powerful point about inherited debts being owed by the modern generation. I'd like to thank her for this.
It today's terms freeing the slaves cost around £17Billion (using GDP values) on top of which Royal Navy deployments for the 60 years or so they were active in hunting down the slaves ships and disrupting the slave trade cost the UK another £30Billion to £50Billion at today's value (again using GDP values).
Using the figures above we get a sum of between £47Billion and £67Billion that Black Britains and Black people from the former Empire owe the UK Treasury. And this is before any calculation is considered for the compensation to the families of the 17,000 sailors who died on these operations.
Having explained so cogently why this sum should be paid I look forward to @DawnButlerBrent's suggestions as to a payment plan.
Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙@DawnButlerBrentOct 23A stolen watch doesn’t become yours just because you pass it down to your children. So why apply a different rule to stolen labour, wealth and land? Reparations are about inherited benefit and inherited loss. Time doesn’t erase injustice.

Swinney, a sly, devious and odious bastard of a man who would sell his children to the devil if it brought him any closer to his personal goal of the breaking up the United Kingdom.
His willingness to align politically with Sinn Fein / IRA is highly offensive, provocative, deeply divisive and shows his true intentions.
Why do we have to endure this toxic politics of perpetual division by this incompetent administration - casting Scots against Scots and the rest of the UK, straining relationships built over centuries?
@theSNP remains consumed by constitutional division rather than competent governance while ignoring the democratic will of Scotland.
We said NO to independence in 2014 and since, you have done nothing to change the minds of a majority.
There nothing that says “working for all of Scotland” quite like importing even more toxic and divisive constitutional politics from across the water.
Driven by bigotry and an insular goal Swinney along with his backers would happily see Scotland burned to the ground to preside over its ashes

Hannah Spencer, the newly elected Green MP, being driven about in a Lexus with a 2.5 litre engine, while the driver seems to be using his mobile phone with both hands, at least two people don't appear to be wearing seat belts, & the car has an illegal number plate 🤔.
