Bloody Romans, what have they ever done for us?!
Probably because it's entirely different for them
What with the whole not having been slave colonies thing.
Aren't 1 in 3 of us a direct descendant of Genghis Khan?
or some mental figure like that
Australia was a penal colony, ffs!
Honestly, your argument really is running out of steam here, j.
And the prisoners were still given more freedom than slaves
I completely agree with this and would happily support the payment of this money
on the condition it is used to repatriate these free people to the lands their ancestors were removed from thereby freeing these wonderful islands for people who would be happy to be live there.
I would also demand that allnations involved in the act of enslaving their ancestors contribute, including those west African nations that did the initial catching and selling.
I would further expect that once repatriates to the lands of their distant fathers they would be held responsible for any wrong doing by those nations they were taken from, at any point in their history, to any of their neighbours and subsequent monetary payment forthcoming.
:rolleyes:
I know! it's the same with jews and their damned holocaust. it's like, dude, chill.
