reparations for victims of doge
And maybe I am not feeling nice about unqualified white men today, because after a bunch of feral little babies fired Dia Harris for working to support foster kids, the American Accountability Foundation put up a DEI Watchlist and publicly humiliated him, apple.news/AOvyreLOlQRC....
Trump fired him. The ‘DEI Watchlist’ shamed him. Then came 500 job rejections. — The Washington Post
Efforts to purge the government of diversity, equity and inclusion programs have taken a major toll on Black workers who now struggle to find comparable jobs.

Also regardless of how people spin it, an apology opens the door up for reparations.
It might be an apology he can give, after all.

And there are options for creatively handling the question of reparations, including debt forgiveness, concessionary loans, climate financing and aid (in order of my personal preference).

This is doable and would be both savvy and morally correct.

Abolish the Home Office and establish reparations for immigrants
Labour’s policy on indefinite leave to remain is pure cruelty.
Because they have proposed putting in a requirement on every route to have earned more than £12,570 a year every year on the applicant, regardless of what the household makes. So anyone caring for an older relative, with young children, disabled, etc working less than half time cannot settle.

Royal reparations. Should they pay for their gains from slavery? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/11...
Royal reparations
I have noted the suggestions made by the Prime Minister and John Healey this weekend that the UK might apologise for its role in slavery, but that this will not mean that reparations will be paid. Th...

🤷🏿‍♂️A lot of white people are surprised to learn that reparations have been paid multiple times in history, in the UK and many other slave owning countries.

It's just that the reparations were paid to the slave *owners* (for loss of property) rather than to the slaves (for loss of freedom and labor).
Pure fucking moral cowardice. Reparations are not about "holding the people of the UK today responsible" l (not least because that includes a lot of descendents of slaves). It's about recognising that the wealth of this country was built on slavery, and doing something material to correct it.
Burnham 'open' to calls for slavery apology but rules out reparations
The prime minister says Britain must "face up to the past" for its role in the transatlantic slave trade but reparations are "not the right answer".

This is why the UK government needs to pay reparations to immigrants
So, my friend got married last year and to bring her spouse over it costs:

£2k in visa fees, £2.5k in NHS surcharges, each of which only cover 2.5yrs so you have to pay both again to reach ILR, unless Shabana gets her way, when it will be 4 times.

That's £9k for 5yrs with your spouse.
The average British person would be radicalised if they were forced to endure the rampant rent-seeking of the (outsourced to within an inch of its life) British immigration system.

reparations are non-negotiable
Elon Musk, the trillionaire CEO and former temporary government employee, threatened to sue Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna after the lawmaker accused Musk of “possibly” sentencing 4.5 million children to death by cutting funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Burnham’s proposed reparations for the Caribbean work out at £5.71 per inhabitant of all former British colonies there.

In any just world, trillions would be paid in reparations, and the whole system of international law would be reformulated.

Are you normal? You owe reparations. Go fund The Daily Tism for what you've done.
Ok friends - some real talk here. In December, we reach the end of a period of investment in TDT that will effectively halve our income. We are already running at a loss & this will be an incredibly difficult time. What this means in practice is that we need to double our Patreon income to survive.

It's also only ever applied to conservative white people. You never hear that about trans supportive politicians or Israel critics. Or black people who support reparations or so on and so on.

There are cogent arguments for and against reparations, but "what about the African gang masters?" Is truly the lowest of the low here.

The British Empire extracted over $70 trillion through centuries of colonial plunder across Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Caribbean. Slavery, forced labor and resource theft built imperial wealth. Apologies aren't reparations. #Reparations

Reparations aren’t force-fake apologies. The slavery industry wasn’t symbolic. It still has consequences.
21st C Britain didn’t participate in slavery, but continues to benefit from its wealth.
Make reparations monetary. And, don’t patronise the Souths.

Yeah the secret to reparations is that what CARICOM wants is actually quite reasonable
I’m confused what the demand is bc as I discovered in your replies, CARICOM’s stated ambition is 8 points which frankly sound like opening a couple of institutes and university scholarships, debt writeoff (already agreed to) and… right to return to west Africa caricomreparations.org/caricom/cari...

I do wish the BBC News wouldn’t keep referring to calls for reparations for “the slave trade”. The “trade”/trafficking of people was just the tip of the iceberg. Reparations are being claimed for generations of people born into captivity & mercilessly worked, often to death, too.
