Reparate / Repatriate

It seems our useless Prime Minister who capitulated to the Doctors and the Train Drivers, is now being squeezed for cash from the commonwealth

 

The question of reparations for slavery, batshit crazy as it may be, has now been around for some time and does not seem to be going anywhere. We've not yet had a PM who can put the question to bed by telling all the grifters, in no uncertain terms, that there is no way on Earth that England is going to pay money to the descendants of people who were hard done by in times past 

We do however, now have a PM who may buckle under the pressure. He does seem to be a buckler, so my confidence is not high

But I have a solution. If the countries that once provided our slaves want monetary compensation, offer them the following:

"We will pay reparations, but we will also repatriate everyone in the UK who descended from a slave, back to the country they would have been born in if Britain had not engaged in slavery" (Commonwealth or otherwise)

By doing that, we wouldn't just be offering financial compensation, but we would be setting the whole thing right

The countries that would receive the money would probably go for it, but how about all the people who live a decent life in a wealthy modern country, facing repatriation to Africa or the Caribbean? They would of course, all have to agree to it before any monies were paid

Also of course, when calculating the value of any reparations we might pay, we would have to deduct any foriegn aid previously sent to those countries, plus a value matching the increased wealth that all slavery descendants have gained by living in England rather than Africa and such

Who knows, they may end up owing us money
