How about we stop going on about slavery from hundreds of years ago and deal with modern day slavery instead 🤡🌍
The U.K. led the way in abolishing slavery.
But yeah…give trillions of pounds of our money to the Governments of countries in West Africa where there is obviously zero corruption, I’m sure the local people will really feel the benefit 🤦♂️
We laboured without pay in building the British Empire. Non payment for generational slavery has has generated generational poverty for their children.
@@barringtonbrown7152 if you can tell me why giving trillions of pounds of our money to corrupt Governments, who don’t look even after their own people, as compensation for past wrongs (wrongs that WE led the way in abolishing) then I’ll agree.
You might as well flush that money down the toilet because the poor people who really suffered have long left us and citizens in those countries today won’t see a penny.
@@thecornedbeefcouncil9792 The governments are colonial puppets. It's the people; the children of slaves who must be paid.
EXACTLY my thinking too but why let facts get in the way of woke’d agenda?
Pay money for something I didn't do, to somebody it didn't happen to?
A ridiculous, even laughable notion!
You paid the families of former slave owners up until 2015 without even realising it. The British government provided payments as compensation for the families of slave owners for their "loss of labour" only ended in 2015.
Why shouldn't the descendants of slaves be paid for just as long?
No country will ever or could even pay those monies out , yasmin is in cloud cuckoo land, l was dragged up wiv free school dinners ,2nd hand clothes and without a Dad wheres my compensation rishi??
🎯
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown is today asking why immigrants are so nasty towards new immigrants?
It's probably for the same reason that her forbears in Uganda treated indigenous Africans so appallingly.
That's one of the reasons that Idi Amin kicked the Ugandan Asians out of Uganda.
Africans employed as domestic staff preferred to be employed by the British because they were treated much better.
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown has acknowledged this in the past.
We should not pay any compensation for what happened in the past. What about the enslavement of people by Arabs, and the forced abduction of the people of Ireland, Devon and Cornwall by Barbary pirates?
African chiefs were complicit in handing people over to slavers.
What about the damage done to the UK by the criminal activities of Jamaicans?
Are we going to be compensated?
The British were slaves of the Romans.
HEAR HEAR YES
It all strikes me as rather frivilous considering all those who were directly effected by slavery are now long gone. It's also rather vindictive considering the current British Government and taxpayers can't be held accountable for the immorality perpetrated by their ancestors centuries ago. It's figuratively speaking having the sins of the father passed on to the son. Is that in of itself immoral?
@@robertmcelwaine7024 I agree with you. Do we get compensation for decades of Jamaican criminality?
It wasn't all the British people that benefited from slavery - it was the rich.
My UK ancestors in the 18th and 19th Centuries were being exploited by the same slave owning families.
Do we get compensation?
Better ask those Norwegians for compensation as well then.
you do that.
@@leelobee6552 don't you get sarcasm
@@Ghost-up8ed no I'm British
@leelobee6552 so should you be responsible for your ancestors' actions
+ romans ... scotts, irish , danes, normans etc : )
I want compensation for all the British people who was forced in to the work house.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
And it’s not government money, it’s OUR money!
They will never, ever be happy! Ever!
I would be with some cash in my pocket to build on
@@leelobee6552
I owe you NOTHING! But, this could be the lighting of the blue touch paper we need. Because this will bring ri0ts. I say, bring it on!
@@durhamfox5271 yeah grrrrr !!! bring it on 🤣 don't forget to beat your chest they're bigger and stronger
@@leelobee6552
You can put all your reparations on that fact
@@durhamfox5271 I sure can
Listen how Storm who works 3 hours a day max dismisses caller who speaks the truth. Other 2 guests so bothered you pay out your own bank accounts won’t see that!
It’s been 200 years are they mad
Stop sniffing glue and move on with your lives
The British government paid the families of former slave owners until 2015 as compensation for their loss of labour.
Descendants of slaves are owed just as much for just as long (and possibly even more)
Can the British people have compensation for having Yasmin AB inflicted open them? A trillion dollars sounds about right.
Short answer, no, next question.
Let's have a referendum on whether we should pay reparations. It will be our money (tax payers) that would go to these countries. Every person should have a say on whether reparations should be payed. It doesn't take a genius to tell you what the result would be.
Oh yes! Let's give money to Africa! Then we can claim money from the Vikings, the Normans, the Saxons and of course, the Romans!!
You can try silly boy…..good luck trying to find a representative 😂😂😂
I think that it's disgraceful that people are trying to make money out of the pain and suffering of these people that were forced into slavery how can you put a price on human life its a desiccation on the memory of the slaves that suffered and it amazes me how yasmin is quite happy to live in Britain and pay taxes and support a country that she feels so vengeful towards, if Britain is such a horrendous place to live in why are so many immigrants trying to enter this country! . The taxpayer is paying out £8 million a day, so they can stay hear rent free !
Bit of an echo chamber here storm🙄
Yep.
Make the “royal” family pay for it.
@@syriacchristianity9007How about no?
Just watched this to remind myself why i stopped watching this crap. It was a great programme once, when Matt Wright used to host it, it is now full of anti british woke rhetoric. Only one missing was Dr Shola.
Can you imagine if they had Shola and Yasmin on together..what a nightmare 😱 it would be an echo chamber of anti British hatred.
Oh she’s on it too and woke’d commie Jones
reparations now!
Oh I see, so your an ex-slave are you? (and no wage slave doesn't count).
The slave owners got compensated and the slaves got their freedom....why is this so hard to understand.
We’ve established you’re not very bright John !
Cause that way they get rewarded AND still play the victim card. Plus woke’d cannot comprehend facts and logic
Have we?@@trevaudio
Most things are in the essence of self respect and dignity. Most of us Indians are not bothered much now but that Yasmin lady is of Indian/ Asian origin and my she complains a lot and how dafaq did she still manage to stay in the UK after blatantly disrespecting the locals of the land??
Absolutely we should pay this
The whole issue of paying reparations strikes me as rather frivolous considering all those who were directly affected by slavery are now long gone. It's also rather vindictive considering the current British Government and taxpayers can't be held accountable for the immorality perpetrated by their ancestors centuries ago. It's figuratively speaking having the sins of the father passed on to the son.
Plus the gentleman who called in and said that slavery and World War II were completely separate subjects was spot on. Many of those affected by World War II were still very much alive after it had ended. Those affected by slavery as well as those who owned them are now long since dead. So, yes, Yasmin, was indeed comparing chalk to cheese, and the fact that she refuses to get that is astounding!
It beats giving Tory pals billions. Yes! We should pay this! Well done, Yasmin!
People want money for nothing. We all had ancestors who experienced slavery. Ottoman, Roman Chinese, Aztec you name it they slaved it. People should put money into helping people in slavery TODAY slavery is rife in areas dotted around the world today 2024. I don’t need money for an ancestor being a slave hundreds of years ago, but there are people now, this day, needing help to get out of slavery and bring awareness to the world that it is still happening. This country abolished slavery in 1805, it used our own navy to patrol the coasts of Africa turning back slave ships filled with the help of African tribes selling off opposing tribes we have nothing to be ashamed off we led the world to fight slavery……it’s still lingering behind!
i really am not sure about this. everyone seems to make a valid point. not sure who is right.
the guy who called is right in saying that war and slavery are different, but the next lady said british empire which was the biggest empire in the world profited more than other countries in slavery. so does that mean they r more in debt to other countries.
but also how far back do we go? england was once invaded by vikings and romans and so on etc. do they owe england money. where do we draw the line of who owes what as slavery has existed since the start of time.
No, next bunch of scroungers please...
Does yasmin have an opinion as to why the Islamic world had to be forced to stop their slave trade.They had no abolitionist movment....why was that?
Oh dear, you’re another one !!!!
Why should she…..we’re talking about Britain’s role in the slave trade, nobody else….do try and stay on topic. Good lad !!!
@@trevaudioWind your neck in troll and I see you never answered his question eh?
@@trevaudioAnd what was Britain's role? Particularly at the end of it. I've never owned a slave myself, so why should I, because it's my pocket the money would come out of, pay money to someone that has never been a slave?
Get the money off the slave owners not the poor again.
I went on the show today discussing should reparations ɓe given for slavery put my view across and of course due to me telling the real truth I was cut from the live show when it was aired later.
Why do you ask people to call in and then dismiss my truth .I know this because I watched the replay, and you cut my part
Yes, this is Dorrett
I feel disappointed I spent time and money to call u but you cut my
views out
Well I will not be watching any of your programmes as you seem to only want people to hear what suits you.
I watched this live - like I do most mornings - and unless you called in under a pseudonym, I’m more than comfortable calling you out right here as a liar. *Didn’t happen.*
@ConsoleVP your a liar I know what I did and said 😏 so mind your buisness
@@DorrettWynter-lu2el Nah. I’m good where I am thanks. My conscience is clear - unlike yours.
Course they cut you off. Can’t have answers from decent Brits, not when there’s woke commies baying
@@fang_ukCalling you out? I hope to Christ you’re not British cause we don’t speak like that
What is the point in paying reparations if they owe us in their national debt .. if you want to waste our tax payers money just right off the debt, then they can sort themselves out, like giving better houses and more cars for thier corrupt goverments ... that would reall help the people!!!
Get lost Yasmin.
Give us half of the crown jewels plus interest.
Get on the first plane at Heathrow with a one way ticket, all of you! And you can take the lot
@@Ajs_1988 Payment please!
@@barringtonbrown7152 No thanks, get that cotton picked
Reparations shouldn’t just be a cheque, that’s a trap, reparations is about repairing the damage done it’ll be more than monies paid, debt write offs, trade deals, this is what I want to be in a reparations package.
Obviously make the owners pay every penny back. You have them on financial record as of 2015
pay them and send them back
we don't want an apology, we want reparations.
@@ciararespect4296”Respect”?!? 😂 Oh the irony!
You obviously don’t have a clue Ciara, because if we take your ridiculously reactionary knee-jerk approach (I’m loathe to use the word “idea” here) it would immediately fall apart when you’re suddenly unable to use [or benefit from] the use of Mathematics in your day to day life.
Read a book. Educate yourself and grow up.
Course you do, lazy commies want it all. How did slavery affect you mate? Answers on a postcard
You're getting neither pal ha ha ha ha ha ha unlucky 😎
In short ....NO
Where are the black intellectuals, historians and activists on the panel?
Without a doubt
Europe was built on slavery’s back and efforts forced efforts of perfectionism
LOL spoken with true ignorance
Yes, yes, yes 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Commie much?
Commie much?
@@gunsharck I'm sorry I only speak English
Also for tax payers I think we pay back with passive investment not cash dollars. Student exchanges scholarships favourable trade and investment in sister universities and research centres
Britain wanted to be a 'stand alone country' when we left the EU. Now we are getting everything that we asked for by being 'stand alone'. We are more vulnerable than we could ever be. Britain has asked to be looked at on it's own and now it is. We have questions to answer, that we were allowed to hide away from, before we decided to 'stand alone' and put our head above the parapet.
The term “stand alone” was a siIIy phrase constantly rolled out by the Remoaner camp, not us outward looking Brexiteers. So don’t make me laugh lol, so man up and dry those weeping eyes
What an absolute load of bollo*ks
The UK should pay reparation of 45 trillion dollars to India and Bangladesh.
Lol embarrassing comment
