    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    on Radio Player, on Nation Player, and on your smart speaker. Just say, play GB News. Welcome back to State of the Nation. You, ladies and gentlemen, do not owe reparations to anybody for slavery. Because when you talk about Britain paying reparations, there is no Britain that has money. There's no United Kingdom store of gold

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    Have you come more recently from a country where we took slaves in the 18th century and that are now demanding reparations that would be paid for by you as a British taxpayer? The bizarreness of this is absurd. We owe nothing for things that happened in the 18th century. And more than that, our moral uprightness is an example

    Contested quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    and that are now demanding reparations that would be paid for by you as a British taxpayer? The bizarreness of this is absurd. We owe nothing for things that happened in the 18th century. And more than that, our moral uprightness is an example and was an example to the rest of the world. So we banned the slave trade in 1807.

And more than that, our moral uprightness is an example and was an example to the rest of the world. So we banned the slave trade in 1807. And this is really important to understand. Slavery was considered to be normal across the world

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    when our involvement was fractional compared to that, let's put it bluntly, of the African slave traders who sold their neighboring tribes. It's not our responsibility. We don't owe them. A brass farthing. As ever, let me know what you think. Mailmoggettjuniors.com. But I'm now very pleased to be joined

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    reparations to anybody. Well, I've just heard your monologue with regards to why the British should not pay. And I can't help but to say to you that you do have a fundamental, mistaken view of the history of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery. And I will ask you this question. When did your moral uprightness began?

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    Did it begin in 1807? Did it begin in 1833? And let me make this absolutely clear to you, sir, that the slavery that we had in the Caribbean and the Americas, which is referred to as chattel slavery, did not exist anywhere else in the world before or after. It is the only practice of chattels, the only practice of chattel slavery

    Charged quote Burnham prepares slavery apology as government rules out reparations

    90% of whom died to be sold to the Ottoman Empire. That was what was going on in Africa to the Ottoman Empire. This was a great evil, but the idea that only the British were doing slavery is just nonsense. All those 35,000 young slaves. Yeah, you can find all sorts of reasons and you can even refer to the Holocaust
