National reparations commissions in the region will also approach Lloyd’s of London and the Church of England with demands of financial payments and reparative justice for their historic role in slavery.

Very noble of you to state what you would do IF yada yada yada. I call BS.
At least my speculation is helping victims instead of shilling for the fucking royals.
Nah, I couldn’t give two shits about the royals. I just don’t want to see a ridiculous precedent set.
Why not? Do you think Germany paying restitution long after WWII set a precedent that applies to you?
Do you just fear acknowledging the wrongs of the past?
Fun facts:
We finished paying off our World War 1 reparation debt in 2010.
Although we’re going to pay Namibia 1.1 billion, although those are explictely not reparations officially, because we also don’t want to set a precedent on the matter.
(and needless to say we’re still actively paying for the Holocaust)
