David Cameron is in Jamaica and he will not get away from the Reparations debate

[malaise]

He is here to give us a free prison so he can deport the Jamaicans locked up in British prisons - he has not come to donate a school, a building for medicine or health care or to discuss reparations from slavery.

I can't wait for his address to Parliament this morning - he should expect disapproval and protests.
=============================
A visit by David Cameron to Jamaica began awkwardly as the island’s prime minister pressed him to enter talks on reparations for slavery and campaigners called for him to personally atone for the slave-owning wealth of a relative in the 1800s.

Portia Simpson Miller, the Jamaican leader, raised the issue of reparations in a formal meeting with Cameron on Tuesday evening, hours after his arrival on was greeted by a military band playing God Save the Queen.

Appearing together after the talks, she said her nation wanted to engage the UK on the matter while also being “aware of obvious sensitivities”.

However, the prime minister ignored the subject in his reply, saying his visit was about future trade ties and hailing the historic links between the two countries.

1. If the UK pays one of their slave countries they will be broke

Paying for all of their slave countries....half of the world was enslaved by England at one time or another...

2. Then why should we pay our debts??

The Western powers owe us wya more than we owe them.

3. I have no idea what you are talking about...I read a story

About "slave reparations", not debt....I have no idea who "the western powers" are....I was mainly pointing out that Brittain enslaved half of the world..
