Sir Keir Starmer has firmly stated that the issue of slavery reparations will not be addressed at the upcoming Commonwealth summit, emphasizing Downing Street's position: 'We do not pay reparations.' This stance comes amid renewed discussions on the topic, particularly following calls from Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley for Britain to acknowledge and compensate for its historical colonial wrongs.
Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley has underscored the urgency of compensations for colonial history, highlighting at a recent UN gathering that estimates suggest Britain owes a minimum of $5 trillion in reparations. She conveyed a strong sentiment, stating that these figures have been 'looked at and studied by many persons,' and it's time for serious discussions on atonement.
