Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

The programme reported that the King is not expected to offer an official apology or reparations to Commonwealth nations for Britain's historical role in the transatlantic slave trade during his Caribbean visit this month. The UK government's position is understood not to have changed, with its legal view that Britain is not required to pay reparations for historic acts because they were not illegal at the time. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told GB News the visit would not shy away from the darkest days of the past, and said the King acts solely on government advice. The panel debated whether Britain should pay slavery reparations, with arguments against monetary payments alongside suggestions such as an apology, debt forgiveness and returning museum artefacts.

The programme also reported that the Green Party has refused to say whether Israel has a right to exist after splits over a motion to define Zionism as a form of racism. Members are due to vote at the Brighton Conference tomorrow on a motion declaring that Zionism will be treated as another form of racism and implemented by the anti-racism policy working group. Isaac Zarfati, executive director of StandWithUs UK, called the move shameful and anti-Semitic, arguing it denies Jewish people their right to sovereignty and reflects ignorance of the Jewish religion's connection to Zion. The panel discussed the motion, with speakers expressing sympathy for the Jewish community and raising concerns about Palestinian rights, West Bank settlements and the viability of a two-state solution.

    Contested quote King Charles will not apologise for slavery on Caribbean tour, Palace says

    So, Renee, I know you are going first. You are prepared. I am. I am prepared. Look, of course we should not be paying reparations for something over which we had no control. That happened more than 200 years ago. And which nobody alive is now affected by. I know we can have the arguments about ongoing, but actually there is no evidence of that at all.

    Charged quote King Charles will not apologise for slavery on Caribbean tour, Palace says

    And it is a bit like telling me that I have to pay my neighbours parking fees even though I can't even drive a car. Slavery right now is rife across Africa and the Middle East. And it involves black people enslaving black people or Asian and Indian people. There are 7 million slaves in Africa alone.

    They did pay reparations at the time and it was a perpetrator paying their victims at the time. It was the Luxembourg Agreement from 1952 just after the war ended. The Caribbean, this is a political movement to secure money for something that happened 200 years ago. It started with CARICOM in 2013 long after slavery was abolished.

    Charged quote King Charles will not apologise for slavery on Caribbean tour, Palace says

    And they're only asking reparations weirdly from Britain, France and the Netherlands. They're not asking from America where it actually all went on. This is a nonsense. This is opportunism. It is looking to shame the UK and the Netherlands and France for their colonialism, just as it has worked everywhere else and hoping that they will hit the lottery and we will pay out.

Thank you, Dr. René. And seeing as you're talking lots about numbers, I'm going to give you a number.

    Charged quote King Charles will not apologise for slavery on Caribbean tour, Palace says

    Did it happen? No. So the actual contemporary laws were torn up. They were not treated with respect at all. Do you think King Leopold was very nice to those children whose hands and lips he chopped off in Congo so they'd go and get rubber? Do you think the Mau Mau and all these other people fighting for freedom in Kenya and other places were treated with respect? No.

    Charged quote King Charles will not apologise for slavery on Caribbean tour, Palace says

    we have to accept that every single bit of colonialism was bad, which it wasn't, because it brought infrastructure, healthcare, education, political systems to many of those countries that would not be as advanced now without them. Not all of colonialism was bad. Some of it was, I grant you. Secondly, you haven't touched on the fact that slavery is going on in those African countries that you're looking for, day in, day out.
