The Prime Minister has Indian ancestry and his people were also enslaved, it makes no sense for him to make an apology. Yes slavery is a very dark chapter in the past but no one today is responsible for what happened in the past. King Charles is being asked to apologize for slavery, something that happened even before he was born. You don't punish someone just because their ancestors were criminals. This isn't North Korea where you punish three generations for the crime of one. Slavery was utterly shameful but the Prime Minister owes no one an apology for slavery
Mister sunak comes from a wealthy family who worked in the imperial administration. Be careful with racializing visions. no one is responsible for the actions of their "race" or clan. Each person is responsible for their own actions. The action of parents, brothers, children, cousins or other members of his race is in no way legitimate for a person to apologize. Human beings are individual entities endowed with free will. no one is a prisoner of his race or social group.

But that is simply incorrect, the UK abolished slavery domestically in 1807, Haiti had abolished slavery in 1804 and numerous US states had as well in the years prior along with a number of countries that no longer exist. Furthermore, slavery in the British empire, which Britian still controlled and administered, was not abolished until 1833, after Greece, Uruguay, Bolivia, the Netherlands, France and Spain.

This huge debt was being paid year after year, up until 2015 when it was finally paid. meaning many adults of the uk of today paid towards ending slavery.
You cannot apologise for something that you have not done only issue a regret for what was done centuries ago....if reparation is needed then go to the Africans who sold Africans to the Traders.....to the point of supply. This is all about money and money grabbing.
Feel free to prove your claim.
@@oxymoron02 It’s well documented history, feel free to pick up a book sometime. Or not, I hear ignorance is bliss and the racial gravy train is doing you lot wonders.
@@oxymoron02 It's pretty common knowledge

The idea that people must apologise or even pay compensation to other people in the present for the historical actions of people in the past is ridiculous.
What is ridiculous 🙄 is due to historical actions. People in the present have benefited financially and socially for generations to generations.
Then removed all the natural resources and placing countries they enslaved in a debt that is impossible to pay 😑
The government must apologise, not Rishi Sunak personally apologising 😂
@@mahmoudeltayeb2771 The goverment didn't do it either, they weren't born then.
@@Andrew-tx9jy nobody is saying that the current elected government is responsible, they should apologise on behalf of previous administrations, the current British state was born hundred of years ago, this is why the government apologises on behalf of its predecessors
@@mahmoudeltayeb2771 Let us make this simple. No responsibility = no apology. Why apologise for something you didn't do? Oh and there will be NO reparations either, the current people will not pay for something they didn't do either. Where would such nonsense end? Italy apologising to us for the Romans? France apologising to us for the Normans? Africa apologising to us for the people invading from the Rift valley? Ludicrous. Unlike some people we have got over things and learned not to blame others who are not responsible for ALL our ills. .
She should apologize to rishi sunak for personally colonizing Rishi Sunak himself from 1858 to 1947.
Shouldnt Africans also apologise for African slavery by her logic. I mean these slaves were in fact sold by rich Africans?
As a Portuguese person I demand Spain apologises for invading and ruling Portugal for 60 years . Or the Romans who also invaded us ….. Or the Anglo Saxons …. Or the moors ….. Just saying 🤔
I’m in front of you for the Roman and Viking reparations 😂

Sunak should request Labour recognises and acknowledges the preventative measures of the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron...
Many of those sailors died trying to abolish slavery, it's amazing how certain people like the woman in this video can warp historical fact.
@@Jim90117 The expenditure on the squadron also cancelled out any previous profit on slavery...
First time I’ve ever heard Sunak directly answer a question! Although saying he doesn’t want to “hide from Britain’s past” yet doesn’t want to “unpick history” doesn’t make much sense, slight contradiction!
Would Sanook speak like that to the Small Hats
that's a false equivalence
@@chris5201 is it? Please explain…
@@chris5201 he either wants to acknowledge Britain’s horrific deeds of the past or he doesn’t, sounds like he saying he doesn’t want to hide from it until it gets to a stage where it makes him feel uncomfortable.
Us Brits have nothing to apologise for and he knows it
As a black person I think these “apologies” make no sense at all
they want an apology so they can take it as a legal admission of guilt, then push for reparations.
An apology on behalf of people hundreds of years ago is completely meaningless.
ASKED.... NOT AXED.... bruh
It’s SO strange isn’t it 😂
Thank you I hoped someone else would call that out

We'll never move forward as long a people dwell in the past
The past is what shaped the present. And the future is built upon ongoing facts, from the present.
Little do you know about the current exploitation of Africa, the French sphere of influence over the continent and most importantly the civil wars caused by the evil mark of imperialism.
@Ebany Dwayne no the exploitation of others at the hands the evil "west" is known throughout history continuing to cry about being its victims is counter productive. We always talk about how the Europeans take from others but never mention the people in our own communities that will sell each other out for a profit.

Why does she asking a man with indian heritage to apologize for someone else's descendants' crimes?
He's not the one that should apologize. And you know why.
Rare, but i agree with Rishi.
British taxpayer has paid there debts. I will not hear anything about this no more... You dont like our society and want to keep playing victim. You should leave.
Indeed
Why should he apologise. That is history and not of today and that is where it belongs. Stop bringing up the past and get on with the business of the world we live in today. This type of thing takes up too much time. Please leave the past in the past and concentrate on the future. Today will be history tomorrow.
You sound like someone who didn't have to live the consequences from the colonization of your country
@@ZeroHero00001 you sound as if Britain was the only country colonising others countries
I agree, for example why as a frenchman should I show any gratitude to the UK for ww2? You didn't fight there. As you said, the past is in the past.
Quite right too. These people need to learn about their own history first. Go and seek apologies from Nigeria, Ghana and Benin first.
As a man I apologise for farting in the snap cabin 23 years ago and upsetting people
As a Portuguese person, I apologize......for something

Why does this woman, who is a public speaker, keep saying "aks"? There is no such word
Take no one seriously who can’t pronounce the word “ask” right!!!
Excellent display of courage and clear thinking from PM Sunak 👏👏
Well done Rishi.
Whayt Supremmacisstt, Stay Quiet
Apologising and pay reparations for something you didn't do is a ridiculous idea
Rishi, your response is making your ancestors dance with joy in their graves...
She is where she is,she should be grateful for her opportunity/opportunities.
The Prime Minister has Indian ancestry and his people were also enslaved, it makes no sense for him to make an apology. Yes slavery is a very dark chapter in the past but no one today is responsible for what happened in the past. King Charles is being asked to apologize for slavery, something that happened even before he was born. You don't punish someone just because their ancestors were criminals. This isn't North Korea where you punish three generations for the crime of one. Slavery was utterly shameful but the Prime Minister owes no one an apology for slavery
Everyone’s people have been enslaved at one point in history
Mister sunak comes from a wealthy family who worked in the imperial administration.
Be careful with racializing visions.
no one is responsible for the actions of their "race" or clan. Each person is responsible for their own actions.
The action of parents, brothers, children, cousins or other members of his race is in no way legitimate for a person to apologize.
Human beings are individual entities endowed with free will. no one is a prisoner of his race or social group.
Financial reparations?! Last time I check, these former slaves were still all dead.
They're children aren't.
But what is there to apologise for ,this women is just a provocateur.
Why should Britain apologize to its slavery records in which it was the starter and main force of ending world slavery from 19th century?
I don’t agree with sunak on much but he’s right. No one owes an apology for things their ancestors did.
what nonsense is this? Ask the head of state for an apology. I’d be amazed if Charles has not already done so many times.
Suprise charles hasn't done the knee
I’m half Irish and half English so I guess my dad owes my mum a apology 😂this is so ridiculous
My mother ws half_Irish and half-English so my granfather should have apologized to my grandmother and viceversa for Irish pirates enslaving British slaves like Saint Patrick.
Ffs the issue with slavery was delt with over 150years ago.
This sort of time wasting is the ultimate reason for the country's downfall.
Mongol never apologize for slavery, why should british?
Probably, they suffered, too. Half their population was gone from sickness, and there they became too many buddist monks.
This is hilarious that she is allowed to raise such a question when today they have more urgent problems to deal with 🤣
Well the Germans have been paying reparations forever! 😂😂
it should be a mandate the everyone should apologize three times a day and drink holy water.
She hasn’t even touched a history book and thinks that her ethnicity is the only one that was subject to discrimination and mistreatment. That’s technically racist to others
Well done Rishi
they have no coherent argument so they bring out the half a century old racism card while forgetting that the person they are asking an apology comes from a descent that was itself colonized and enslaved by the country in which they were having this non sensical debate.
The best PM british ever had. They should elect him for a second term
💯
Bruh they literally had Churchill
Please NO! Weasel much!
They didn't elect him in the first place
Sorry ,I'm a labour voter, but I am sick to the back teeth of this never ending moaning from a certain section of our coloured breathen about the evils of slavery and in particular about Britain's role in it. I also sick of the call for repatriations. We of the present and future generation, owe nothing to the descendants of slaves. For Gods sake give it a rest.

As a korean true and same
The brits are living in a colony now. 😂
Ok, I'm British so i'll bite, I'm sorry Britain colonised India before either of us were born. We should have left you alone. Ok now what?
Britain didn't invade or coloniese India. The Indian rulers gave us India and supervised from there on. There were also plenty of Indian colonial cheifs. You conquered each other then gave us control. 😅
@@overwatch17 There's nothing to be proud of there.
First time I agree with Rishi, we have waaaaay more urgent issues to deal with than talking about the history of this country.
Why apologise, we haven’t done anything wrong. It happens in past. Making sure it never happens again. It’s history,so many mistakes have been made in past,learn n move on.
It still happens - where? In Africa.
@@matthewlynas5089 that’s a problem in Africa then not the UK. Take a look at the map…
It's not even a mistake, that's how human history was until the european enlightenment. So weird to see people using values invented in the West to denigrate the West.
Wwii is in the past, therefore as a frenchman I don't owe any gratitude towards the UK.
That's because they don't owe any apology.
That is a British Doctrine ( never apologised).
We were also the first to abolish slavery, no one wants to mention that.😊
But that is simply incorrect, the UK abolished slavery domestically in 1807, Haiti had abolished slavery in 1804 and numerous US states had as well in the years prior along with a number of countries that no longer exist. Furthermore, slavery in the British empire, which Britian still controlled and administered, was not abolished until 1833, after Greece, Uruguay, Bolivia, the Netherlands, France and Spain. If you're going to spout jingoism, at least be correct:)
You still traded plenty with former colonies which relied heavily on slavery 😂 thats hypocrisy
People don’t mention that because no matter how much you wish it was, it’s not true.
U dont get to take credit for the atrocity u committed in the first place
@@kshitizsiwakoti6982 lol I’m not saying that but, we shouldn’t be held accountable for the sins of our fathers. I won’t feel bad for something I never took part in 👍

What’s the point? What happened has happened, can we focus on modern slavery and stopping it instead of something that has already stopped?
There are now 67 foreign national MPs in the commons that is the biggest apology any country ever made about it's foreign policies of two centuries back. This is the only time the PM said anything that makes sense. 😮
Living in the past, what's the point ?
Do they thank the west for the progress of medicine and the doubled and tripled life expectancy in africa ? It is has some value, no ? how much is worth ?
lol @ this african 🤣🤣
Why do I have to say sorry for something I didn’t do to a person it didn’t happen to. If we go down this path I want an apology from the Roman’s, Vikings, celts, Saxon, franks and on and on
I agree, this current uk generation owes nothing to former colonies/ countries where they took slaves. Simply because they are not the ones who did it.
Following the same reasoning, France owes nothing to the UK for wwii.
Why should he apologise for something he didn’t do? Even his ancestors didn’t do that?
