Britain should pay reparations for its colonial past

[hatusu]

Does this mean then that conversely we can claim reparations from the Romans, Normans,Huns, Saxons,Vikings et al? Just asking......

If you agree that we should pay, then the answer to your question is a no-brainer! Plus, all those emmigrees from the Colonies should return to their ancestral origins, too! (Don't know where that would leave me, though? Gypsy blood and Mesopotamian DNA from the beginning of the first millenium!)
What a load of utter tosh!!!!!

Perhaps some would argue that reparations bills should be offset by bills for the improvements made in such things as education, governing systems, healthcare, transport...etc.
