‘Sensible decision’: UK Prime Minister rules out slavery and climate change reparations
Sky News Australia 
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said the Brits “will not be paying reparations” for slavery and climate change, says Sky News host James Macpherson.
“His comments came ahead of the King’s heads of Commonwealth meeting happening in Samoa right now – where member states like the Bahamas and Barbados will push for trillions of pounds in compensation for Britain’s sins,” he said.
Mr Macpherson was joined by GB News host Patrick Christys to discuss Mr Starmer ruling out reparations.

THIS MAY BE THE ONLY THING TWO TEIR STAMER HAS GOT RIGHT .
That means he is definitely going to do it. They will use mental gymnastics and newspeak to make it so.
BUT HE HAS STABBED TRUMP IN THE BACK ,SENDING 100 STUPID LABOURS MPS ,WHICH WILL BITE HIM IN THE ARSE WHEN TRUMP GETS IN .
I hope he extradites and prosecutes as many as possible!
So 14 Carribean states would like £18,000,000,000,000 pounds, and India would also like £45,000,000,000,000 pounds, interesting how 67.5 million people pays for that. I will check behind my sofa for any loose change.
Gear Keir Must Reparate Conan the Barbarian for Disrespect to his Cimmerian Roots 👌
More money for them to dress like gangsta rappers
What about reparations to the Cornish,Welsh, Icelanders ,Scots,Bretons and Irish
for the enslavement by the Barbary coast pirates and turks .Oops they are Muslims so they don't enslave people castrate the males or anything like that.
this started when he gave that island.. it wont stop as long as they keep giving.. the requests will just keep coming and keep getting bigger and bigger.
Britain shouldn't have to pay twice slavery was going on for 1300 years before the Europeans got there. No one is responsible for their ancestors actions
That means nothing coming out of his mouth.when he says no that usually means yes.

stopping Napolean, stopping Kaiser, stopping Hitler, invention of countless medicines, walk around your house and town and list which were first invented or introduced in in UK, fighting communism, free trade, free speech, football, cricket, rugby, tennis, railways ports and other infrastructure, democracy, religious tolerance, GDP of Carribean countries compared to typical African countries, GDP of African Americans compared to Africa, GDP of Singappore, Malaysia compared to other Asian countries, first major colonising power to ABOLISH slavery and use navy to enforce it – quite right the empire was ghastly, but those countries under it fared better than they would have done under the other colonisers. THERE IS NOW WAY THE WORLD CAN AFFORD WHAT IT OWES TO THE UK (their culinary contribution is perhaps best ignored)
Should be charging these black nations for people pollution, mass migration and all envirmenal damage that is because of them. India Pakistan and others too.
The only way its a 'sensible decision' is because even this Labour shambles of a government realised the absolute shit storm that would have landed on them if they had done it. Lets be clear, these idiots would have done it if they could.
It's the taxpayer that'll have to pay for this. I do not want a penny of my tax contribution going out of the UK. I'm not responsible for the slave trade and colonialism. So, why should I pay reparations?
Kick the Caribbean Islands out of the common wealth. They contribute F all anyway.
We must stand up to these unviable Pacific island states that are always begging for money. They demand climate change money and back that up with threats to swing towards China, the world biggest carbon emitter. That shows it is all about money, not climate change.
DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT ANTI BRITISH LIEBOUR MOB SAY. DESTROYING THE UK AND UK HISTORY MAKING PENSIONERS SUFFER PENALISING CITIZENS TO PAY FOR NEVER ENDING STRANGERS ENTERING INTO BRITON
👏👏👏 well done Starmer looks like you can make decisions which favour the people of Britain over other nations… keep it up.
Reparation is a second payment for those poor slaves. Leaders in the Common Wealth are a disgrace fixed on greed RE SELLING those deceased slaves a second time.
Lammy would sell his grandmother if he could
RIP All Slaves in the World
To your face but behind your back well that's another story.
Ok, it appears he has a tad intelligence not given money to the natives we gave so much.
F the natives.
The wannabe dictator knows he would be politically lynched if he okayed this… crap.
Another fn ad about 'climate change' forced on me, GET EFD!
Why isn't the world concerned about Islammic reparations? Slavery still exists in Islam today. Yet the world remains silent on it. An apology wouldn't go a miss, but as for paying more money than is already paid in foreign aid, it's just a money grabbing scheme for these people who want a get rick quick scheme
James, surely you didn't…. didn't….. oh, I can barely speak these words! James, did you praise a Labor prime minister? Did it hurt your mouth?
Probably end up taxing the working class, we take the brunt of everything else.
Not sure how compensation will be given but do feel for the people who are affected and there ancestors.
Ridiculous kiss Ass PM
Yeah, the reparation payments will be exclusively left to the Australian taxpayer ….
Should Turkey pay reparations to Poland, and Russia for the millions of Slavs the Ottomans enslaved? Mind you m, Poles and Russians don’t have a beggar mentality. They have too much self respect and dignity to take hand outs.
I hope that the Dear Leader doesn't let Lammy out on his own. He might well agree to anything.
Bet he changes his mind Again!
Dont belive anthing sausage man or village idiot says
why cant the king appoligise wasent it the british empoire that enslaved millions of people world wide ie india africa america the boers colonisation every where
Trump is winning and these WEF UN puppets are scared.
The only sensible thing he’s said so far, but then again we know he is NOT trustworthy.
I don't trust any of the labour government. I want reparations for my ancestors working down coal mines and having to fight in two world wars for the British government…
