**** em. bring back slavery I say, they may **** off back home then instead of sponging off the taxpayers
How are they going pay out the compo to slaves who died 150 years ago? Or will it go to the ancestors? In which case, I shall be making a claim to the Normandy magistrates for the ethnic cleansing of Saxons circa 1066. Hang on a minute! I may face a claim for the wanton destruction wrought upon ancient Britons after the Saxon invasions of the 5th/6th/7th centuries. Where will this all end? Will we see Cheddar Man in the dock?
Some of the poorest, most deprived areas of the world are asking for compensation because we, as a country, absolutely raped them. Have you looked into what they're after? No. Giving them help for education, hospitals, infrastructure, etc... is the least we can do after treating their ancestors like ****. You *****s think they want a cheque each
My family were Cornish lords who fled to Cork as a result of this. How can I get in on the act Ponders. 2x Cash Windfalls. First from some **** called Norman and then I'll sue the ancestors of the Duke of Sutherland.
So because in the intervening 150 years they've made an absolute pigs ear of governance we should give them some sympathy money?
No. We stuck a bunch of slaves on an island in the middle of nowhere. We then tell them that there's no more slavery, so they're free, but they have ****all infrastructure to help themselves. A society is born with no skills, very little education and ****loads of crime/poverty/etc and you expect them to turn it into some form of paradise? You ****s have had hundreds of years and your country is probably even more backwards than theirs. All they're asking for is assistance improving the schools, the hospitals, etc...No one is asking for a cash amount to be given to everyone that lives there. Daft *****
When will it be time to say 'enough is enough', T-Cake? Say we give them 3 billion for new hospitals, transport infrastructures, and administration, and they still fail to get it right, will you then change your attitude? And, by the way, my arguments are never invalid. I am the Lord of Not606. I am Legend.
I was at a meeting where Tommy Sheridans grand plan for affording independence was COMPENSATION...so don't laugh just yet
They should be grateful to us for civilising them(almost) that's the ****ing thanks you get for helping the lazy good for nothing ****s
Aye, they went from a bunch of people in paradise, running around naked and shagging each other's brains out to a bunch of God-fearing, war mongering arseholes. That's civilising, British-style.
It's T-Money, but you can call me T-Master. They're not asking for free cash, they're asking for money to help them rebuild stuff. Not the same. And yes, if they **** it up, of course they won't get more. We've given them ****all assistance apart from the occasional holiday from our Royals (woohoo...), they deserve a helping hand. Also, through global warming, we're going to absolutely ruin where they live, so we may as well make it nice for them for a bit at least. They're asking from cash from loads of countries, not only us, the amount they would require would be insignificant.
What a ridiculous stance to take. Akin to some Yank, embittered by a guilt which is on the shoulders of people who died decades, if not centuries, before you were born. You're also acting under the, entirely false, assumption that these countries receive no aid whatsoever. The world is a cruel place with a cruel history. I'm not going to spend my time apologising, grovelling and paying for mistakes which have no bearing on me. We've got enough current stuff to be dealing with instead of greetin' about slavery like little bleeding heart bitches.
