Why Jamaica is seeking $10bn in reparations from the UK

Comments

1. Yara: It's odd that there's no mention of the long-term economic ties they'd have to commit to if this actually happens
2. Mirage Comet: haven't seen a lot of noise around this from the British side - do you think it'll be acknowledged?
3. 🍁 Ava Ellis: it's been a whole century since decolonization and they're only now talking about this
4. Mirage Wolf: looks like 300 years is a bit more than an 'oversight' on their part
5. Lunasharma: haven't seen this one addressed yet - how does $10bn even work as reparations for an entire people?
6. Talia: reparations sound nice, but what's the margin on this claim?
7. Wraith Ronin: They're finally talking numbers – what's the UK's response going to be?
8. Mirage Talon: Finally some accountability for colonial pasts. Still waiting to see how this affects their Commonwealth status though
9. Shadow Sparrow: that's a price tag they need to actually put some context behind
10. Lunagrant: it's wild they're just now coming to this number - what's the specific breakdown of reparations they're proposing?
