- King Charles and Sir Keir Starmer are expected to face demands for the UK to pay £200 billion in reparations for its involvement in the slave trade at the upcoming Commonwealth summit in Samoa on October 21.
A group of 15 Caribbean governments has agreed to push for reparations during the meeting. This follows Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley's recent call at the United Nations for reparations for slavery and colonialism to be part of a "global reset."
However, there are strong arguments against it, citing historical responsibility, temporal distance, and the complexity of identifying beneficiaries.
Ian Collins speaks with Heirs Of Slavery Co-Founder, John Dower.

If slave owners didn't pass on some compensation to the freed slaves, the slaves beef is with the owners, not the Gov who freed them.
Greed greed greed.
Absolutely UK is poor
Just like the whites who benefited for 500years, utter greed, and yet you keep the proceeds of your forefathers crimes
Greed
I cannot listen to this CRAP
When are these former colonies going to pay the trillions of pounds they owe for technology reparations. The wheel, electricity, sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and of course the aqueduct.
Your whole existence is a reach
And literacy and numeracy too.
Long ago, enough is enough lots of people suffered in the past
Now it seems liebour are content to just let pensioners suffer@@TrudyMoore-i4e
@@ConradAingerLOL literacy and numeracy came waaaaaaay before colonial Britain mate. Nice try. Time to pay back and do the right thing.
Any person or group applying for reparations must be compelled to do an ancestry DNA test to determine their role in slavery because as we've seen recently in the US not all black people were slaves some were slave owners.
They need to ask the remains of the Ottoman Empire for reparations, guess what the response would be? They weren't kidnapped from Africa they were enslaved and sold by Africans. I think John should go back to his Caribbean home. What a guilt ridden numpty.
Your DNA says nothing about what you have done.
@@michaelpcoffee the test is referred to as a DNA ancestry test with emphasis on ancestry they can trace your DNA through a particular lineage and based on that they can decide what your level of involvement was in slavery in other words whether you were a slave or a slave owner.

Yah.
That's what I mean.
Those are completely different people.
Being related to a victim or to a villian doesn't impart any entitlement or responsibility on you.
What a grifter. I hope this shite isn't getting a cut. Stop slave trading now..the UK I vaded Libya on behalf of Slave Traders. Stuff this Shite.
if you start down this path it will never end
Well he can start by selling all his possessions then, he has admitted to directly being connected to slave ownership by his descendants!
Your tax will go to compensated me and mine, suck it up buttercup
And the Guardian newspaper!
I would have asked this guest to explain how slavery caused the current levels of diabetes and hypertension. As for reparations, my ancestors were the labouring poor. They had nothing to do with slavery. If people like this guest want to pay reparations, let them pay themselves, with their money..
Who does your high iq explain your low birth rates globally
How much overseas aid have we paid to these Country's over the years?
How much abuse did the windrush generation suffer and never got compensated
@wonderlocs7758 why are you answering a question with a question, are you thick?
@@wonderlocs7758 Utter crap
Not enough.
You have never sent aid to anyone buddy.The so called aid is the little percentage of what you are stealing from those countries so that they can know that they are free and independent while in reality they are still chained😂😂😂😂
What about the 20000 RN sailors who died banishing slavery across the world in the 19th Century
exactly wheres the reperations for them? we dont owe these fools a thing and its time they grew the heck up
Where was the reparations for the thousands upon thousands of black colonial citizens who died in ww2 fighting on behalf of n 2 defend Britan???
U aren't complaining that slave owners got reparations n the sailors didn't; but when it's reparations for those enslaved given to their descendants, the death of the sailors matters?? U do realise sailors chose to put their lives at risk, while slaves didn't choose to be enslaved??
@@aliciafletcher9739 the descendants where not slaves they where free thanks to what we brits did. its fools like you that fuel this stupid reperations line. are you going to demand the same from the arabs that enslaved the most people? are you going to demand they give reperations for all the slavic people they kidnapped and sold as slaves? no you wont and why not? cos people like yourself are hypocrites. if you want money that badly then go earn some instead of demanding a hand out.
Tough, shouldn't have profited I'm the first place, no innocent whites
@@aliciafletcher9739 What tosh - they were volunteers and freely offered to sign up. They were part of Britain and its Empire and fought accordingly. Typical deflecting claptrap. You clearly have no idea of the real history of slavery in its entirety and how the UK lead ther way not only in its abolition but its determined effort to fight it anywhere. The UK's fight against slavery throughout the 19th century is a forgotten but pre-eminent source of National Pride and rightly so,
The owners were compensated, the slaves gained their freedom. No "reparations" necessary.
So by your logic we deserved to be enslaved
You weren't enslaved numbnuts
And please explain why you deserve money for nothing? Was you slave no . Was your parents no or grand parents or even great grand parents . So why do you think you deserve money? My family did not own slaves and i will sue any stupid government who thinks it can give my money as reperations to chancers and scammers . We owe caribbean people nothing it time stop funding them period
@@wonderlocs7758 That isn't what the comment said at all.
THEY WERE NEVER FREE…..THEY WERE EMANCIPATED….SOME MORE BECAUSE IM WHITE I SAID SO….TYPICAL!!!
they were compensated with freedom that we paid for 2 hundred years for
THANK US NOW
The usual lot wanting more free stuff
You mean you yts who get free intergenerational wealth
@@wonderlocs7758 cry me a river, loser
@@wonderlocs7758facts now that all the generational wealth has been made from slavery and slave traders and masters and their families are have received all that compensation money in billions of the tax payers money the descendants are having to live in poverty it’s an issue that the peoples family’s that suffered to make them people rich to receive reparations. Typical racist attitude.
How many tens of billions have they had of us through overseas aid through the decades? These countries wanted independence but I guess that only counts when not after money
Starmer will probably give it to them 😒
No we will,we be taxed accordingly to do so😢
With the help of Commical Lammy.😂
JUST SAY NO.
Give them the money on the provision that they leave with it and lose any citizenship of Britain, those who want to stay can decline the offer and stay.
Yes please, without black people the uk will turn into sun burn heaven
What compensation will i recieve as an englishman from the norman yoke?
This is because internationally Starmer is seen as a soft touch.
Then go to the slave owner not us UK isn't a flipping money bank we poor big off...
The slave owners were compensated, they then used the compensation to pay wages and keep their businesses going. Without this, the businesses would have folded and the islands would now all be Haiti.
Heirs of slavery.....I did t see that position advertised in the job centre.....So he has made this very important job up himself and no doubt the CO. How does he make his money -?....
What a load of Shiite
Probably nearly all of the Nottingham Hill Carnival will want a slice of the money....
What is the Nottingham Hill Carnival? Never heard of it
@@evorton123where you been
You bet buddy...just keep your pride march away from us
Idiot it's Notting Hill in London. Nottingham is a city in the East Midlands renowned for Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
If this guy's ancestors owned slaves then why doesn't he pay the £200 billion that these countries are demanding? Why should this country literally bankrupt itself to satisfy the demands of countries who think they still suffer the effects of what happened 200 years ago. Utter madness
1. The British did not take the slaves. These were taken by other African nations. They were slave transporters.
2. There are no calls for the East African slave trade (mostly due to the castration of men)
3. To say you feel the effect of something 200-300 years ago, sorry, you don't. WW2 was roughly 70 years ago. I can read, watch and learn all I can but I will never feel what it meant.
4. GDP per capita in the nations where the slaves were sent is higher than the nations they came from. The law generally compensates loss. On this basis, whilst slavery was bad, on a comparative basis they are better off than had they remained in Africa.
5. When do we get the reparations for the Barbary pirates, the Vikings, the Normans, the Romans?
Slavery to the black population was absolutely terrible, which was done mainly by the white population and the tribal chiefs selling their braves in mass to the white slave traders. BUT, what about the white slave trade, so do I get reparations for my family’s slavery and suffering? Slavery comes in many forms, i.e. forced to work hard labour all your life, in terrible conditions, with mass starvation and early death the only way out for millions. This happened throughout the world, especially during and before the queen victoria era in Britain. As an example, children worked in the coal mines from 8yrs old, but many would be young as five. These men and children, worked between 12 to 16 hours a day, with many having very short lives due to the coal dust and machine accidents, this was the same for the cotton mills and other industries. My own relatives, died in work houses, or simply starved to death if they couldn’t find work and some were even press-ganged off the streets, to be forced to sail ships, often dying of scurvy and malnutrition. Many were also forced to fight as soldiers in wars for the establishment, all over the world, or be shot for cowardice. So isn’t all this also slavery, slavery to a system, wherever it is done in the world!
The Arab slave trade was larger and lasted centuries longer.
What about our compensation for rubbish wages...do you think we aren't enslaved you absolute melt.
Not us my family did not ever own slaves, but the profiteers like his family or the Cameron's did
Just sit back and enjoy the ride, no one is singling you out buddy. Just chill out and cry quietly
Britain sends million of pounds to the Caribbean in aid every year, to help them deal with alsorts of things including building infrastructure, economic developement, education, reducing crime and many more things, so we are already contributing to help them build up their economy etc.
Do we all go round appoligising to everyone, the Egyptian, the Romans, the Greeces, the pirates of the Barbarian Coast, the Turkish, the list is endless slavery has been going on since time began, it would be far better to set up a world fund to stop modern day slavery.
You can not change your past but you can change the way you deal with the future.
No amout of sorry or anger is going to change anything
Shut up
If he wants to give his money to them that's fine by me, but every single word out of his mouth is abject nonsense.
I can see there will be compensation for the descendents of our elderly that were left out in the cold , but it seems we're fine to find money for historic issues. This is just plain government stupidity. As usual
👍🏴
We don't want your money anymore...I pray Yah's judgement on your empire.
Do you know any slaves from that time period? They would be around 150 years old. When is Africa going to start paying the slaves? They sold their own people to begin with. How can any proclaimed descendants from slavery ask their country for reparations when they haven’t requested reparations from the selling source country? Why are they blaming the people in their house when it was the neighbors?
You are guilty $reparations$
We paid for them to be set free. Everything else is mental gymnastics
And to leave is going to cost 600 billion each
Using Lammy logic Grenada must belong to Venezuela as it's pretty close to their coastline. So give it back.😂
Look at all these yt folk mad that yall payment is due 😂😂😂😂
Hahahah 😂😂😂. They’re not happy about it because it would mean taking accountability for wrong doing and admitting that they knew all along building this country off the back of slaves was unethical.
Leave the common wealth or say no more
What a load of bollox - my family have never owned slaves nor have I... I won't be paying any reparations to anyone!
You will pay reparations whether you like it or not. Just like when you and your family paid the families of slave traders their compensation money in billions of tax money to free their slaves. It’s those people you should be angry at.
Payment is due, give it to them,
Not a single penny will I voluntarily pay towards this scheme.
What about young white british girls and boys torn from their family to serve the upper classes they could not marry and were owned by the upper class family they served from morning to night. What about the poor owned by working houses they were slaves and thousands died. I think ancestors from the highlands need repartion for being evicted from their homes and made to sail in dangerous conditions thousands dying on the journey i urge people to read the highland clearances. The scottish highlands also still suffering.
How much money was it worth to the people of the caribbean when britain gave its property to them? How much money was spent by britain defending the countries, building the infrastructure? How many british lives were lost for those islands? We need those numbers, imo.
All the predicted yts crying about doing the right thing, lets us know you've never changed and you never will, still the same old yts
Not sure how anyone can take this fella seriously. His logic and mental gymnastics is truly breathtaking. The irony of some white guilt dude standing up for black victimhood is now the norm I guess. He has also met people who have "living" memory of slavery in the Caribbean...let that sink in for a second. This guy is a race grifter which is clear to see when he pivots seamlessly to racism. Basically white people (only those in the UK) must pay black people money in Africa and the Caribbean money because we are all still racists. But you know what...lets be fair. When the African and Caribbean countries go on their 2025 Year of Reparative Justice, if they start at the Ottoman Empire and its territories/countries for the payment of reparations and apologies then perhaps the UK will think about it. And why not approach Qatar about their current slave trade which is in existence today.
Were you this angry when your tax money paid to give slave owners and their families reparations for having to free their slaves after they had already amassed generational wealth?
You’ve got a better chance of litigating God.
I think slaves should have never of been taken to the Caribbean. It would be a lot better place today without slavery
What a load of crap
Africa took them to the beach to the boats,we have done a lot for these people and might owe us.All these years ago it’s history and British ended it. People now should not be paying for something years ago. What about the people/kids now that are suffering. We have helped them enough?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And if you need the loan let us know and uts 15% interest cumlative anually
Oh yeah, about Saint Floyd of phentanol, I heard another black was ended somewhere on the planet, thousands of miles away from us, so....how are we to be punished for this one?
Why doesn't starmer give them some of his free glasses so they can see how stupid they are to even ask so much of a ridiculous question 😂😂😂
We should make all the millions of rich old people pay the £200 billion. They can Turn off their heating. Stop their free bus passes. No nhs treatment for them. After all they are closest to the time of slavery.
Until this man and all his group of virtue signallers give all their inherited money away, and their own wealth created from their "unfair advantages in life" he has to completely shut up. Given that he can afford a house in the uk and a pc he clearly hasn't so lead by example, give your money away first, or shut up.
What a pillock
