Sir Keir Starmer said he didn't want to spend time in long discussions about reparations for slavery and the past.

People in the Caribbean ’s reparatory justice movement had hoped that a Labour government would begin to address the scars left by the transatlantic slave trade.

I am a descendant of absentee slave-owners in Grenada , who profited handsomely from the brutal exploitation of Africans ripped from their homes and forced to work on sugar cane plantations.

Sir Keer Starmer could learn from the words of Professor Sir Hilary Beckles , chair of CARICOM ’s Reparations Commission .

Beckles declared, “The reparatory justice movement will be the greatest one of the 21st century , because it is about love, compassion and healing” Britain 's government can be part of the healing process.
