- Talk's Kevin O'Sullivan slams the claim from Cambridge academic that the UK owes Caribbean nations more than £200billion in slavery reparations.
Dean of Trinity College Cambridge Dr Michael Banner has based the compensation on claims made by slave owners when the trade was first abolished in 1833.
Kevin says: "Can we dismiss this madness?"

The world owes us billions for spreading democracy, medicine, government, engineering, railways, roads,bridges etc etc,etc!😊😊
There is a daily £9 Million Hotel Bill that needs paying. 150,000 illegal migrants have been living rent free, some for five years and almost all for two years. PAY UP PLEASE!
@johnpaulnash8144 How on earth can we be paying 9 million per day for a million people? I will assume they are all staying at The Lanesborough.
@@boota1979Read his message properly...oh dear...😂
Idiocy, Britain stopped the slave trade. The rest of the world has kept it going.
Just pay up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@washingtongarden4078 Boston already has.
Britain stopped the slave trade, and then it sneakily introduced the birth certificate. Search 'meet your strawman'....wake up to the fact that living men and women are considered 'chattels' by our self-proclaimed elite....
@@washingtongarden4078 No, never, get a job.
@Oceanfoxy Yep and then came up with indentured servitude!
In 1833 20 million pounds (around 17 billion pounds today) was set aside to be shared out among 46,000 claimants, awarded by a ten man Slavery Compensation Commission. The slaves themselves received nothing.
The people of this country only paid off the debt in 2015 some 182 years later. Why the hell were the people of this country picking up the tab in the first place?
we've given black people a fortune in foreign aid.....they should be paying us!
They didn't spend it wisely so they want more and what better excuse.
@@kenstevens5065 Dear oh dear...
Yes they are give a fortune in foreign aid and most, if not all of it, has been stolen by their own leaders. They all live in luxury and let their own people exist in poverty. They just want more and more.
Alright, and the world owes the Royal Navy many trillions of pounds for stopping the slave trade.
@peterstephenson9538 You mean THE BRITISH TAX PAYER
When we committed to ending slavery, the spending on it was 44% of the Treasury's funding that year.
The usa had slavery because it was a carryover from england.
Plus the compensation for the 2000 dead sailors who died doing it
Britain gave Africa the modern world. Medicine, technology and engineering.
African slave traders kept more slaves in Africa than they sold to Europeans. (Thomas Sowell)
"WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL , RIGHT" --- wait a minute "8 generations" of the progeny of freed African slaves have no claim to anything close to reparations from the enslaving European nations and yet , and I am sorry to ANYONE who will take offense to a challenge to "conservatism commonsense"; Jews from anywhere on this universe, from whatever generation are allowed to claim Palestine as a home for Jews, and receive billions EVERY YEAR in reparations, to make sure we ALL agree with that logic...
Somebody tell me again, how can you NOT dare to listen to China and Russia when they claim to seek and end to the western hegemonic, hypocritical, gaslighting --- UNILATERALISM....???

Ok let’s get reparations for invasions by the Romans, Saxons, Vikings, French………. 😂

Perhaps Britain should claim reparations from the Italians because of what happened under Roman occupation and the taking of slaves in Britain. Completely bonkers!
If my great-grandfather murdered somebody - but got away with it - can the victim’s descendants demand that I go to jail for the crime?
Perhaps a hate crime. Or to give it the full title "a non-crime hate crime, crime: non-crime"
What about all the other countries involved in slavery? It's about money not justice. It's not the sole responsibility of white Europeans only to pay for historic slavery. What about all the black slave traders?
So sick of this crap....how much more can this wound bleed...Britannia for God sake wake up or we are f*******.
We don't owe anyone anything! End of conversation, if people don't like that TOUGH!
3000 British slave owners out of millions of people and my ancestors wer not one of those people, also, the majority of people of colour in this country migrated into the country by choice for a better life.
Exactly 💯 my ancestors was treated appalling by Americans when they went over there in the famine & they still are treated appalling today are the Irish for all they did to help America.
@@uniquevideosUk I really don't understand your point.
Can he get reparations from Egypt for enslaving the Israelites 3000 years ago??
That enslavement was originally to pay off for the grain that they got during a famine.... the debt just kept getting added on to keep them there.
FAKE history! 3,000yrs ago antiquity Egypt was back under the firm hands of the 23rd dynasty of the Nubian pharaoh Piye (742-712B.C.) ruling from Napata and worshiped one prime god Amun, like all the Nubian Pharoahs of the past since Tuthmose III the great (1475-1425B.C.) the true founder of monotheism and patron of the first Hebrews....
Sorry,around 2500.

Can he get reparations from the Ottoman Empire for enslaving a million Brits over many years. I am sure the Turkish regime will be happy to pay us along with all the Arab nations as the Barbary pirates did the same.
The truth is that if we actually gave them the money they still wouldn't shut up.
What about all the aid we have given them for decades!
You're right, they'd want more once they've squandered it.
Emotional blackmail, guilt trip psychology just to extract yet more money from us. It will never stop. FO
Point is, why give them any aid at all? We know IT WILL BE STOLEN.
Has Banner worked out how much the Bantu owe the Khoisan and Pygmys in reparations? No? Didn’t think so. How about how much the Berbers owe the people of Ireland, Devon and Cornwall? How about reparations from oil rich Arabs to Africans enslave through Zanzibar or their enslavement of Indians. What an utter winker.
Banner is as mad as Sir Kier Starmer and Starmer will most likely pay this..
Those in the Caribbean did at least have descendants, for which those today should be grateful. British and European men taken into slavery by Barbarians, were castrated. That is a worse crime.
Or murdered off hand read the book white gold in one of the story’s the saltan if he woke up and was wearing yellow it indicated that he would be in a murdering mood and he used to cut the head off the slave who held his horse while he got on it
Could we not make charges against a lot of countries in the world for the improvements the British have made?Education,law,freedom,better roads,railways etc ,what have the British ever done for us?
@kennyjackson1234 Not that old chestnut.
@@boota1979 It's called sarcasm,obviously wasted.
i have no guilt over slavery ......i didnt do it , my ancestors could of been slaves at some time ,,,it doess not affect my life hundreds of years later , cant live in the past ,cant change the past ,live in the future ,live in the today , only thing holding you back is yourself ...
Okay, if they want to go down this route we should ask for reparations from the Caribbean for diseases caused by sugar cane such as type 2 diabetes, tooth decay , cancer ,etc . Also the cost to the Royal Navy in freeing slaves after William Wilberforce's reformations...Best let sleeping dogs lie....
We've paid through the nose for Windyrush and decendants, show us some mercy.
Don’t be mean, how else are they going to pay all their baby mamas for 6+kids all by different women(I know a lot of Jamaicans) 😆
Just pay up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@washingtongarden4078 No money in the till, cause of all the demographically similar dingy, channel hoppers coming in. Blame them the freeloaders...
@@washingtongarden4078 Boston already paid up & America owe the Irish! They was treated appalling.
This is utterly ridiculous. Even if we did lose our heads and handed over money foe something which happened more than two hundred years ago, they would just spend it on trash and then be back for more in ten years time.
If they could make it last that long!🧐
It would go into the pockets of those who have power, the poor would remain poor.
The idea that white people must pay compensation to those descended from black slaves sets a dangerous precedent. This is punishing people because of their race. Only about 1% of white people owned slaves, so why should 100% pay compensation. Crime statistics show the number of crimes committed by ethnic groups. How about the ethnic groups with the highest crime levels compensating the rest of the population? They might argue this is unfair, as only a minority of that group committed the crimes; only a minority of the white population owned slaves, but they are all expected to pay repatriations. If it is all right for white people to pay reparations. Then, it is all right for communities who commit more crimes, to compensate the rest of society.
@garypadiham3221 But it was okay for the British public to pay reparations to the slave owners?
Everyone loves free stuff. I'm mixed-race(1/2 Indian, 1/4 Jamaican, 1/4 English), i figure that we(the British) could've just poisoned all the slaves in Jamaica and taken that land for our own use, that would be helping us to this day obviously to have that land as ours, but we gave that land to them instead. So how much is that land worth? If that land is not considered reparations(and it is), and we should give them money, then why shouldn't they give us back the land that we took from the Spanish, that they invaded? We took it fair and square, and gave it to the people currently living there in Jamaica, so. If we're gonna entertain that idea at all, then it could only be a trade, we give them money they leave the country and give it back to us. I think that land is probably worth more than £200 billion altogether, it would earn us that much in just a few years and then on and on.
Excellent points. Another thing that I ponder (though it is rather deep and existential) is that individuals, such as yourself, wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for British colonialism in the first place!
I'd rather have you all here (even the ones who complain; good mental exercise for the rest of us) than not.
Why does no one talk about the Arab Muslim slave trade. Hello.
If an Individual feels like paying...go for it, but why should the other 99.99999% of us ?
@stephennorris2524 Well we have already paid reparations to the slave owners, in fact the debt was only settled in 2015. Tell me why were the British public liable to pay that?!
@boota1979 The public always get shafted.
Let's say his grandfather committed a robbery, in that case we should put his grandson in prison?
This is the logic. So we would all be in jail
Question: What about looking at our government and asking yourself , "Are they trying to turn the British into slave's?
Why's there never any comment on the cost of trying to end slavery which the UK suffered?
Have you ever seen someone's good being spoken of?
They should shut down university s and private schools and let them do what they make working class do and then they wouldnt have time for all this bs going on
That’s ok as long as this man pays it all out of his own pocket

NO . Dr David Starkey must be pleased he's nothing to do with Cambridge University anymore. When younger I was in awe of people who had a University education, now I feel sorry for people who spend four years learning how not to think for themselves.
The first slaves into the West Indies were indigenous white Britons so how do we pay it to ourselves?
How ridiculous.
The good Doctor better start saving up now!! Bless him - he thinks that people who never owned slaves, should pay people who were never slaves, loads of money for never being slaves!! Certifiable, for sure.
As usual, Mr. Heydel-Mankoo hits the nail on the head - slavery today is carried out in nations that are always ready to beat the United Kingdom over the head about the very practice they continue!!
Being frank, it is time for black people to simply stand up, get them sh*t together and start making a contribution to the world. Most reasonably-educated observers can see they have not done much up to now.....
Foreign aid...
What about open slave markets right now. .?
Africans are selling people as slaves. Open slave markets in Libya since Gadafi was killed.
My ancestors were Irish and they were terribly colonised by the English. I also have Russian Ancestry.
They were also slaves so I want reparations from the English and the Vikings.
What about my Catholic ancestors who were murdered by the protestants? I want reparations.
. As if and so on.
If this is the case then I would like to put in reparations for my ancestors who were captured and slaved by Muslims back in the day of the crusades…! British citizen
Perhaps the esteemed doctor should form the money????
What about the Caribbean islands themselves? Don’t they owe us money for the land? Or if not us the Caribs?
Well said Kev, Here here.
All the super productive hard working, triple phd carribean folks in the UK can return to add their value back to those islands of origin. there.....compensation paid.
I love Kevin.
Britain paid its dues to stop slavery. We only finished paying for that a while ago. He needs to minus that money off of his calculations. Also the money went into a tiny amount of families pockets. My family saw none of it and mostly grew up in poverty until the 1980’s.
He should be sacked for incompetence.
Tot up what the remains of the Ottoman Empire owe and present them with a bill. No, didn't think so.
Sometimes over educating the wrong person can just make them really thick
Their ancestor’s were paid off centuries ago. If they pissed it against the wall and didn’t hand down their money, that’s their fault. Sue their ancestors for cash.
Don't make Dr Banner angry, you won't like him when he's angry 🧟
My farther was born in bondage in Ireland in 1908.I do not want any compensation nor do I expect to pay any through my taxes.
Give them nothing 😅
Very well explained Raif Thankyou
REALISTICALLY, paying reparation for slavery world require EVERY country in the world to recompense EVERY other one. WE ALL DID IT.
Reparations NO Repatriations YES.
The Scandinavians owe us a lot for the vikings! 😂😂
Well I think he can go and do one.
Repatriation is the only true compensation
It's embarrassing that people don't learn any british history.
Those vikings and romans ruined my life, where do I apply for compensation ?
Hiding in plain site there are slaves in every major city in the world, in his Novel, A Walk Across the Sun, Corban Addison delves deep into the subject.
Surely if reprerations are payed they must return themselves!!!
Why we suffer these Planks I do not know,we truly have an extra enemy within!
What about the French, Belgium, Spanish and Portuguese Empires slaves? Is he asking them for money? Or the Americans who worked them to death? Belgium actually sold far more slaves than we did and so did all the Africans who sold them to us in the first place!
Meanwhile, he’s written a book. Who’d have thought 😂. Bet it’s not a best seller !
Perhaps we can add up the billions of Foreign Aid we have provided to the Caribbean for the last 50-60 years and deduct it from the potential reparation bill. I think you will find that the Caribbean OWE US a few million. Will they kindly give it back. Like hell they will.
only 3,000 people owned slaves in this country everyone else either worked in appauling conditions lived in poverty akin to serfdom its ludicrous!
more slaves today than 200 years ago, sort that out !
I'm all for investing in former colonies, were they to offer suitable terms, helping them to develop that way, but just signing a huge cheque and giving it to them, is deranged. It'd be opening Pandora's Box.
It'd destroy how trade is done. I'm sick of hearing wokeys making childlike emotional demands, without thinking through practical implications. But I worry that more and more young people think this way.
Who would pay that.
Actually its the African countries that sold their people into slavery who should pay the bill. Maybe Britain should ask for reparations from Rome for the invasion of Britain taking English slaves in the process,or how about Denmark and Norway when the Vikings invaded and took slaves from England, or the middle east they bought English slaves at slave markets.There are more but you get the point. Slavery was happening every where.
The leaders of the Carib nations just want the money into their own pockets.
If i was black i would be asking the dean for the keys to his car, and some dosh for petrol ...... he can't say no !
Do the Americans, Spanish ,Dutch and Portuguese owe reparations too or is it just us the usual bad guys
It always ends up about the coin they love the freebies
Dr Banner needs to present a fully costed business case. As an "academic" surely he can provide that? Oh, no business experience. Or sense.
What the hell do you think the majority of Brits were doing pre ww2? They had hard lives, working in coal mines and factories etc.
A water tap in your cold damp home was a luxury
Hands up if you own a slave.... nope me neither.
Perhaps the victims of recent crimes can have reparations instead? Especially since we know what demographic causes the crimes and which demographic are the victims? The jail demographic statistics can give a clue.
NO REPERATIONS FOR ANYONE!!!
Good point what about the slaves in pakistain and nigeria today 🤔 that aint the british, and every skin colour n reliogion got the same education as i did at school so
If slavery made countries rich then why isn't Africa or Muslim nations not rich.
no reparations without repatriation
how about the church pay reperations to the british , and africa pay back all the aid we have sent them
Wait a minute, why if my ancestors were pesant, nothing to do with slavery but a couple of rich people,did it in uk nothing to do with working class
Dr Banner? Whatever you do don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry lol to be fair We don't like him when he's happy
Didn’t we give them a whole island chain with full infrastructure how much was that worth
There is also 'Dan-geld' where the Vikings (Danish, Norwegians and others) raped and pillaged lots of mostly coastal towns in the UK. It was a sort of 'protection' crime.
What about the interest we paid on the bond that was issued by the government to pay the slave owners? Because it adds up to a lot more than £20 million. 4% interest paid 6 monthly. Can we deduct it?
I want reperations from Italy because of the Romans coming over and killing my ancestors. Nobody ever talks about that, do they?
Know history Slavery has always existed!

What about all those children made to work in the cotton mills aka Liverpool docks?
I get the impression that he wants to be treated fairly by those he fears.
Take it were getting reparations then from Italians and French.
We can all play that game if you go back far enough.
My family want reparations for the great amoeba wars
I want repatriations for the years of having to put up with a constant stream of people here that I do not wish to facilitate the illegal travel of via my Taxes.
No... My tax paying stops until I get a full itemised breakdown of where my taxes are going.
Fair enough it can come from rich MPs pockets I won't pay any of it I've done nothing wrong
I was thinking labour will say we pay repartations. People have lost their commonsense
Yes! Stop this ridiculous nonsense. We’ve already wasted thousands on “studies” etc.
The Caribbean counteies would not be what they are today. The people who inhabit the islands today would not live in one of worlds most desired holiday locations. None of us would be where we are today with out history. You don't what the world look like. Just remove one influential country or person from history and every changes. The world we know now would not be.
My ancestors were down the Lead Mines without a vote!
