Episode 6 - The Empire Must Pay

from Di Tree of Wi · host Di Tree of Wi

'The Empire Must Pay Back' £18 trillion, argue campaigners following a historic analysis assessing the true cost of slavery. Academics from the University of the West Indies calculated the amount owed to the Caribbean and the Americas. The Brattle Report considers the loss of liberty, foregone wages, hardship, mental suffering, and anguish experienced during slavery. To the delight of the British government, the payback of £2.6 billion to former slave-owning families and institutions for historical debts dating back more than three centuries was completed in 2015. This means we, our grandparents and parents, paid for it with our taxes. So, what do reparations mean to you? To some, atonement and recompense for wrongs committed in the past. To some, it means acknowledgment—an acknowledgment of the truth of the wrong that was done to us. Should it end with us, our children, and the children yet to be born? Should this become our legacy? https://www.gov.uk/government/news/repayment-of-26-billion-historical-debt-to-be-completed-by-government
