I'm sick of this. What utter bollox.
Utter bloody bollox . Kin stupidity, just designed to get our blood pressure up.
You took the words right out of my mouth I thank you it is a load of Bollocks
Its definitely the biggest load of bollocking bollocks Ive heard so far.
Indeed, these fuxkers think our ancestors wore slippers a smoking jacket and sipped champagne in the poor house...
Utter, utter bollox.
I want reparations from the Romans (Italians), Normans (French), Vikings (Scandinavians).
Modern Italians are descended from Goths, Franks, Arabs and Spaniards.
They have few links with the Romans.
Normans and Vikings were Norse. From Denmark and Norway.
Not from Sweden.
@@stephfoxwell4620 thank you for taking your time to add these detailed corrections Steph, but I think you get the general theme of my point right?
@@stephfoxwell4620🍩
Stephen Foxwell might point out that many in the UK are descended from people who moved here after we ended slavery and freed countless slaves from slave owners and traders all over the world.
So why should their descendents have to pay reparations to Africans, many of whom are descended from slave owners or traders themselves?
It might also be worth mentioning that slavery was universal across the world until we forced the end of most of it, so almost everyone on Earth is descended from slave traders or slave owners somewhere along the line.
Or former slaves or quasi slavery (indentured workers etc) - lots of British tax payers will have ancestors who were one or the other - Kemi seems to think there’s a difference between the British state and the British tax payers and you can get the former to pay and 100% of the burden not fall on the latter….! We need to crush this nonsense. You might ask why Portugal isn’t foremost in the sights of the reparations campaigners given they took nearly twice as many Africans to America as slaves as Britain did - presumably because they know that if GBP20trillion is an utterly unviable liability to impose on Britain the presumed circa GBP40trillion they would want from Portugal just takes them into a completely discredited fantasy land (if they weren’t there already…..).
We need politicians who stand up to this crap and tell them where to go. Seriously, this selective racism is making me ill.
The politicians willing to stamp on this nonsense are as rare chickens teeth. The rest are little better than over paid, over privileged civil servants happy to abdicate responsibility to any and all of the nations enemies and parasites.
Most of our politicians are outright anti-White.
Yep,, it's called brow beating, that's why we're so bad everyone would rather be here than in there own
😂😂😂
Yes! It is selective racism
Beyond absurd, I am Irish and Britain abused my country as a colonial power for many years but I dont expect reparations for this. The world has moved on, I have only good feelings toward Britain and I dont expect the current generation to have to compensate financially for the behaviour of their forefathers.
🇬🇧❤️🇮🇪 respect 🫡
Basically I want free money because I’m black
And I whant other black people to get free free
Perfect response
Exactly mate 🇬🇧
Yes man. Cruelty and racism is not easy
If that’s the case, then surely Europe should pay massive reparations to the UK for saving them during the last war.
The axis nations got huge amounts of money injected post war through Marshall Aid to rebuild their shattered economies. Yet the UK, an ally to stop them, got nothing and we had to pay back huge amounts for the arms supplied by the USA when we were fighting alongside them. As a result, Germany got the latest state of the art manufacturing facilities while we had to make do and mend with what we had, a major factor in the West German 'Economic miracle' of the 60's and 70's and the rise of Japanese goods imported to Europe
Don’t be stupid , that’s not going to whip up racial division
Or enslaving Britain before it
Ya and Ireland should be entitled since d famine
I think the city of Rome owes a lot to a fair few nations..
These spurious claims for reparations is really just a shakedown. Well done Rafe for giving Femi a much needed history lesson.
UK invests in private sectors in other countries and then calls it "investment".
Have some decency and just return the stolen goods and artefacts to their native people.
The UN judge is Jamaican. Ignore the bitter, twisted fool.
Descendants of colonizers 😅😅
Let's just get rid of the UN! Problem solved. What a joke!
I agree the one world government needs to go. This bloke is saying what he has read somewhere that’s why he keeps looking in his head. What a moron.
Yes UN has always been an utter sham... Like Russia is head of the security council... And all the LIES pushed by the UN... But look at who are members of the UN so no surprises at all!

@@KilledByDeath2015 Common Purpose
The UN is nothing but poison
In making the statement referred to here, about the UK making £18.8 trillion reparations, the UN judge has trashed any possible value the UN might have had and the organisation should be simply ignored. It has no credibility left.
indeed, that's how stupid these people are.
The UN has no velue wharsoever
It’s a table the UK should have left a decade ago.
But the UN needs to push socialism so they can implement a global government.
U.N = "The Beast".
We have already paid too much to a lot of these countrys in overseas aid and we still do
All the infrastructure, education etc
OK that rubbish learn you're history
We should ask them to give our money back for setting them free and we want the money to be paid to the British families whose ancestors that was killed trying to free them.
Colonizers rot in hell 😅😅
Nigeria is one of the world's biggest oil producers. If its rulers weren't so staggeringly corrupt, ordinary Nigerians could be well off too. Africa has abundant natural resources. It could be the richest region of the entire planet. Its poverty is nothing to do with the former European colonialists.
Or thick!

How much more of British crap from people, who benefitted from exploitation of Africans to this day calling the Kettle Black you got a nerve. Your royal family benefitted from slavery, UK stopped slavery, yet colonized continant don't forget 1884 where Europeans carved Africa.
It's not reparations that we should be doing, it is repatriations to all the ones that come here and stayed.
So many people say they are poor now due to their history. No you are not its down to you and you alone!!!
Victimhood is so boring.
But lucrative
I like how they UN ignore the fact that UK ended slavery or that that the Arab empire and otterman empire had white slaves hundreds of years before any African
That is different, it's OK to have white slaves whites don't matter and no one's going to pay reparation to whites!
They don't care about that. It's so easy to point the finger at the UK as it fits the current narrative that the British Empire was the worst thing to happen to this planet and the people on it. Whereas in reality if one of the other empires had been as successful the atrocities would be a lot higher. The British Empire actually did a lot of good and if we hadn't stopped slavery it could've carried on for many more years. We even chose not to use Crossbows because they were too easy to take lives!
The United Nations these days is little more than a commbunist organisation hell bent on destroying western civilisation
But you've gotta hand it to the ottermans, they were terrific swimmers.
@@drewbewho
They had to be good swimmers to get all of those otterman treasure chests out of the sea. 😁
Well said Rafe. This nonsense needs to end.
The Transatlantic Slave Trade involved 30 countries 430 years.
Britain participated for 140 years.
But for some reason they say we are responsible for nearly a quarter of any reparations.
Why not Spain, Portugal, Holland, the USA...?
because britain is allowing it and the grifters sense a soft touch.
Reparations.? The Commonwealth owes Britain billions.
And you owe trillions. Literally in excess of 70 trillion pounds.
We gave you civilisation, which is priceless.@@Exiide89
How much money have England send in aid to Africa since the 60s? Also from private purse?

Everyone is just after the British....
If this paid, can we send back the illegal African migrants no excuse?
Half a trillion, where,s it gone,
@@peterteagleteagle9958 Didn't they dig a well in 1986 or something? The other 499.9 billion went to the coffers of their MP's.

well of course those United Nations judges are not corrupt at all !
Just like the W.H.O.

in that case I want reparations from Rome. They enslaved my people for 400yrs, I want my reparations
Rome , Barbary Corsairs , Vikings , Normans , Saxons , Celts , Greeks , Egyptians , Persians , Indians , Franks , Russians , Turks... The list goes on and on of who had slaves... That guy Femi is an absolute moron!
Me too. Plus the gold they made my ancestors mine from our land to send to Rome. With interest!
And the Arabs given all their UK slavery raids ...
And France - Battle of Hastings.
I want it from the French for the Norman invasion. Oh, and the Danes for the Vikings, and the Germans for the Saxons as well
I DEMAND a payment from the vikings and the romans for enslaving my ancesters 1000 years ago
Italy won't have much money left after all the Roman atrocities are taken into account but 100% of GDP for the next 500 years might cover most of it. Of course that pales into insignificance to what the Egyptians will have to pay.
We do not owe black people a penny.
Lazy people !
Oh yes we do!! A ticket home. No more or less 😅
I owe one of the chaps in the gym a couple of quid.
Wrong. We owe Lenny Henry for his heart warming demeanor. Pride of Britain, that chap. But not trillons. Get him a voucher or something.
Anthony Johnson was the first slave owner and he was African.
I'd vote for repatriations for all those who want to no longer benifit by being here
Any descendants of Windrush want to leave, get the passport back and send 'em with some money.
It's funny but that was tried decades ago, the queue for the payments was about as long as mini skirts popular at the time.
Nah....they'll choose to stay.
And someday you will be forced to leave your own country.
Therefore say no to immigrants especially "KHALISTANIS"
Who is a UN judge to tell the UK what to do....
They can go do one, the lot of them.
Britain didn't become rich by 'leading' the slave trade. The slave trade has existed since civilisation began and Britain was instrumental in changing that and abolishing slavery. Britain became poor through abolishing slavery but it was the right thing to do. Brittania 'ruled the waves' because the British navy tackled slave routes and blockaded slave ports 200+ years ago.
We want 10 trillion pounds back that we've given to Africa!!
We want 10 trillion pounds back from India that was given to India as aid. India has just spent all the UK aid on sending a useless rocket to the Moon. For example there is starvation thru out India, a Caste slave system, 700 million Indians defecating in the streets, suttee.....the burning to death of child wives and so on.
I have stopped making any donations for charitable works in Africa after race baiting Labour MP Lammy declared that Africa did nit need any "white saviours".
Go to hell!!!
Beggars can't be choosers
... and fair compensation for the provision and transference of computers, clothing, clean water, medicines, sanitation, modern education, the Internet, road, rail, aeroplanes, coinage, ...
And Africans have to move back to traditional houses and no western inventions..
This guy should pay us reperations for taking his parents into our country, he was born here and has obviously done very well for himself because of being in the UK. Why isn't he paying us back for all that. He wouldn't have got it in nigeria.
I think he's an African Prince looking for money to help him get his fortune back then he will repay the loan 3 fold.
I do wish that he would stop talking such crap. He seems to be able to do it endlessly.
May be he should go and live in Nigeria
Says he’s British born, then goes on to add: “as a Nigerian……………..” Says it all really…….Yes, he’s correct that the slave OWNERS were “paid off” (compensated) by the British government and that National Debt was only very recently discharged. Hence, by definition, the general population did not benefit one jot from these “reparations”. Their taxes, in fact, were used to meet the reparations. So, far from benefitting from the slave trade, the common people of Britain were effectively, thrown into debt.
Exactly! OK and GET RID OF THEM IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY SO WE CAN BE SAFE AGAIN! As we were 60years ago NO BLACKS OR MIDDLE EASTERN'S!
THIS ISN'T EVEN BASED ON FACTS! WE BULLT OUR COUNTRY LIVING IN POVERTY! NOT BY SOME HANDOUTS AND NOT BY SLAVES! ALL THEYVE CONTRIBUTED IS CRIME!
WE didn't have SLAVES! THATS A FACT! A COUPLE OF THE ELITES AT ONE SHIRT PERIOD OF TIME THATS IT! OUR OWN POPULATION WAS ENSLAVED BY THE ELITES! WHERES OUT REPARATIONS!!?
WHAT MAKES Britain BRITISH! AND EUROPEANS HAVE IN COMMON ARE WE HAVE THE SAME HAPLOTYPES! AND VERY SIMILAR CULTURES AND VALUES! THATS WHY WE GEL AND GET ALONG PEACEFULLY FOR THE MOST PART! WE SHARE VALUES AND MANY ELEMENTS OF OUR CULTURES ARE VERY SIMILAR! SO IF THEY COME HERE OR WE GO THEY/WE DONT CAUSE HAVOC!
NOT LIKE A SUDDEN INFLUX OF AFRICANS AND MIDDLE EASTERNS WHO HAVE A DIFFERENT CULTURE (NO CULTURE) NO VALUE OF LIFE OR OUR CULTURE, OR (OUR) VALUES OR (OUR) WAY OF LIFE AND BELIEFS!

he is lazy hyper emotional grifting ******
Are they really being serious, get a bloody grip why are we even thinking about paying them it's bloody outrageous
What could possibly be their argument? It wasn't started by us, it was private companies that dealt with it, Britain ended it, Britain paid to free slaves which we didn't pay back until 2015, their ancestors were captured and enslaved by Africans, it was the Arab's that dealt with it much longer, our ancestors were enslaved TOO! We're also "victims of slavery" when their African ancestors came and enslaved British people! I could keep going on and on, but the truth is they just don't want to work and want free money from the people that were never involved in slavery.
Edit: Colonisation gave those countries a better quality of life and a higher life expectancy, so they should be thanking us for doing it!
Well said.
Exactly. Where do you draw the line? If we're going back to the beginning of time then everyone would be paying each other in one big circle. I don't know why they keep getting this chap on too as he clearly just dislikes the UK and white people, and everything he says is centered around that
man the last line of ur comment was enough to explain the qualiy of education UK is having these days(plz excuse my english). If u think this quality of lifewas something u should feel proud of, then let us allow to give u back that same quality of life treaatment....belive me even Ukraines current situation is 1000 time better than what a normal-everyday life was in colonial countries....but anyway ass holes like you wont understand so, yea man have a great day.
Yeah, we nearly bankrupted ourselves as a nation ending the transatlantic slave trade. If anyone owes reparations, then the West Africans and Carribeans owe us.
I've read Nigel Biggar's book "Colonialism, a moral reckoning", and can confirm your ending statement. They should be THANKING US instead of demanding reparations for wrong doings we've never committed and from which they've never suffered from.
This is beyond belief absurd.
Blue Peter raised that amount of money for a water supply for Africa in the 1970s . They still haven't got one , where has the money gone 😂😂😂
Rafe Well done for another great debate. I would love to see Rafe live.
They've had two hundred years of freedom and they're still poor. Give me a break
And still BREEDING. STILL FIGHTING. DRUGS WANT. WATER. AID THEN THE MEN RUN AWAY SO THEY CANT SIT IN HOTELS. IN UK. AND DEMAND. MORE. NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF THERE
Descendants of colonizers are still rich. Slaves were unpaid.
Read about Richard Drax British MP who is a descendant of a colonizer.
Your ancestors were colonizers????😅
Correct ... You're welcome ; )
Because gems and artefacts are in your museums. Return ASAP
So people who were never slave-owners paying reparations to people who've never been slaves..
🤨
lol yep that's pretty much how it works haha. evil scamming toe-rags.
In fact blacks in the US are far far better off today than they would be back in Nigeria or wherever in Africa. That they can't see that shows they are blinded by dollar signs and not equipped with large brain power.
Sounds crazy to me ! Next they’ll be saying a man can be a women
Why not ask your own government to stop reparations policy. Why cry every fuc@%ING time blaming other countries after all its your government who's giving .
Ha ha, very well put 👍
Well said Rafe , spot on has usual 🙏
You can totally see this cowardly government giving in as well.
If we include the cost of the Royal Navy cleaning up the slave trade, they will be owing us money. Tax the African migrants double.
20,000 sailors died in the West African squadron, while saving Africans from being enslaved.
Correct
Only around 3000 British people ever owned slaves it amounted to less than 3% of the economy. We spent decades and far more eradicating slavery around the world which was something unique to the British.
What happen to the British poor when slaves came Along... No jobs.. Death!!!
Prison ships sent to Australia with thousands of British females forced into prostitution.. LET'S GET ALL THE HISTORY OUT!!!
Yes.....but these idiots are totally uneducated!!!
Didn't need slaves out ancestors were serfs, this reparations BS is laughable.
Ethiopia only gave up slavery in 1943 (after some persuasion from the British). One in three Ethiopians was a slave (in 1943!) ... something to think about!
Even it were 100%, it would be irrelevant. We aren't slave owners now. And the people in those countries aren't slaves.
At 1.19 Nylander states that the UK became rich because of its involvement with the slave trade. This is incorrect. The bulk of British wealth came about because of coal, and the use and exploitation of that coal through engineering to drive the industrial revolution. The belief that sugar from plantations built the British empire is ludicrous. If that is what is being taught in Black History month someone needs to do some serious research into the comparative value of these two 'industries'.
Also being ignored was the cotton industry in the UK. This was the UK’s initial manufacturing boom.
This was a massive driver of wealth , representing 42% of exports by the early 1800s.

They just want more, and more
India was the richest nation on planet when British set foot on Indian soil to "trade" in 18th century. India contributed more than a quarter of world's GDP. When British left in 1947, it had been reduced to less than 4 percent. More than 45 trillion dollars worth of money, resources looted. About a 100 million Indians massacred, the country partitioned into two so that it doesn't emerge again as a challenger. Thanks for occupying us to bring us "out of poverty".
@@Exiide89 Well, if India was such an amazing place, how come it was conquered so easily by the forces of a small, damp island in north west Europe?
Anyway, what you mean by "rich" is that 0.1% of the population were wealthy, whilst 99.9% of the population lived in abject poverty...a bit like today.
Do you *_really_* think India would have been able to launch a probe to the moon without all the infrastructure that Britain set up for you?
Personally, I think most of you would still be under the impression that you're going to be reincarnated into a sacred cow, had the British not disavowed you of your primitive notions.

Britain & the western countries have already been paying Africa trillions in reparations over the past decades in the form of aid, debt relief & charity.Britain was the first country to abolish slavery over 300 years ago, something some African nations still haven't done. Africa needs to stop making excuses for corruption & failures & stand on its own.
How utterly absurd this is?!?! Once it was explained that maybe he should also seek reparations from his own country as it was the Chiefs there who sold the slaves his demeanor changed. Exactly right, start at the beginning of the chain, NOT just the end.

One comes from a position of ill reasoned emotion and is making money from being as such, the other comes from a reasoned and informed point of view.
Britain's involvement in the slave trade was from 1663 to 1807.
So 216-360 years ago.

Fun fact, England made slavery illegal in 1102

They always do. Who are the biggest slave owners and who should be paid for their freedom?
18 trillion. Jokers 🤣🤣
Not 1p should be paid & certainly not money I pay in Taxes. The UN should put effort in stopping modern day slavery and not be telling the UK or any other country to pay reparations.
There are more slaves today why aren’t they concentrating on abolishing it. Instead of the broken record of200 years ago
You from the UK?
The countries did not profit from slavery. Individuals did!
Collective guilt, a human rights crime by definition of the UN, yes really, the UN judge that's made this claim does not even know the rules of the organisation he works for.
We just need to say very firmly "No" to these people.
You just have to say sorry we did wrong thing, that's it . & UKs economic situation is World renowned. So we all know uks pocket is becoming empty as well as global influence.
The Royal Navy stopped the slave trade at a huge cost to the UK.
Femi thinks slavery reparations in Nigeria should be paid by tracing the descendents of slavers and taking their wealth, whereas for the UK, the current government should just hand over all our taxes? Does he think EVERYONE in the UK benefitted from the slave trade? Does he think no one in the UK has ever been exploited?! Has he not heard of the working class?! I've got a suggestion for you Femi: go to Lagos and tell the Nigerian government to donate their money to the Caribbean, and let us know how that goes.
Ah, that’s nice of him. I hope he knows his family history, just in case his ancestors were the slavers we bought from
No chance of that, even though the most wealthy West Africans were the biggest slave traders.........And they are PROUD of it still!😁

That’s extortion. The sort of thing wars are fought over. The slave trade was a net loss for the UK.
also where would this money come from ? how are you going to pay it, based on COLOUR, based on citizen status, should only WHITE people pay or BRITISH...
Are the British owed money from Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and France amongst others over the last 2000 years ?

As soon as any one mentions money.. all the cockroach’s come out of their hiding spaces and cry’s wolf! As if money makes things right or wrong? Really! It’s just the idea of getting money regardless!!
It cost India 58million to land on the moon and UK gave india 58million in aid,, make that make sense
Why haven't you send one since you are already a developed country......or.... all your country's steam is blown after 1950s.
I'll tell you it takes big brains to achieve that feat.
And you know what money can't buy brains
Poor brits..😂😂😂
@@maniksharma1403big brains?hence the industrial revolution. Rule Britannia dude, liked we ruled India, that was pretty simple to do. Lmao
@@maniksharma1403ps you Landed in a film studio.
@@maniksharma1403 since the war every British government have been more concerned with pandering to every other country exept it"s own,they've all (British governments that is)relied on foriegn investment into this country from overseas countries,in things like manufacturing,labour,energy,finance even defence,rather than ivest in Britain itself.When you neglect your own country,its people,its future and put foriegn interests above your own you become dependant on other nations to provide those things,hence the decline of what was once a world power.Not to take anything away from India's acheivements,but thats partialy to do with the fact that India's leaders,unlike Britain's treacherous leaders,don't try to be the worlds benefactors.
I believe I heard somewhere that at the height of the Transatlantic slave trade, it accounted for 3% of the country's GDP. Abolishing the slave trade worldwide cost us 5% of our wealth, to say nothing of the young men who died. Will someone pay us that 2% difference?
3% of our Wealth.
Britain is worth about £15 trillion.
So £450 billion.
It took 150 years to accumulate so should be paid back at £3 billion a year for 150 years.
Shared between 14 countries.
By the way, a quarter of UK slaves went to Carolina, Virginia and Georgia.
Do we compensate the USA?
Stealing BAME men from the UK would NOT affect the UK economy in any way whatsoever. What a load of tripe!!!
I’ve never heard of anything so absolutely absurd and totally ridiculous
Should be more concerned about modern day slavery..... that would be of worth
I bet Rishi's first words were, 'where do I sign?'
He is a real concern, a complete limp wrist, he was on the other day saying that prison never achieved anything, the Lord help us! Starmer’s out of the same childish bucket.
How much do they owe us for abolition? This is a shakedown, nothing more.
There should be more concern for the division this nonsense is causing in our society
Why are you just targeting Britain, the vast majoriyy of British people made nothing out of slavery ,only a handful did.
I hope that deluded judge also came up with reparations figures for the likes of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Belgium.
Another black shakedown!
I as a Brit owe NOTHING for the past. I took NO part in anything . As a descendant of slavs I am owed for my ancestors being enslaved . So where's my money ?
Egypt needs to pay reparations to Israel, Turkey to the Bolkan nations, Italy to most European nations and more, just few examples
Tell them to do one and return all the immigrants. This is one big scam who gets the money it's a con. Tell them to work for it and not keep expecting to be given everything.
They are part of bricks plus now they only need to sit back and watch the wests economy's calapes America will loose their world reserve currency status Saudi Arabia and opec nations take other currencies for oil hyperinflation will hit the United states like a tsunami of dollars hit their shawes and the rest of us will need to hold real money for commodities
Why don't we pay them for every emigrant they take back?
@@timcowell2626 we should be sending the boats back first we need to have an amnesty give those who have illegally entered into Britain 30 60 day's to register for asylum if they don't we should move heaven and earth to find them and deport them to the nearest safe country thoes who throw their documents away should be taken to the deportation centre and thrown out amd expelled from entering into the UK how we pay for this is simple stop sending cash to the Ukraine people in the United kingdom should be first priority real leaders put their citizens first
The African slavers who caught and sold British and Europeans should also pay reparations to those countries.
As a native African I've seen how African leaders destroyed their own countries. Prior to independence, most African countries not only fed themselves but exported goods.
All they export now is themselves.
Well said
True
Pay the British for our endevours to stop slavery , pay Britain for keeping the Hun down in WW1 and the Nazi down in WW2 , we have been poor ever since . The normal working class man prior to WW1 was not much more than a slave .You might consider showing Britain and the British some gratitude for your fortunate circumstance and new found wealth .
