Should Britain pay slavery reparations?
Listen now
Description
Kamal and Camilla are joined for a forceful but intelligent debate by pro-reparations journalist and descendant of slave owners Laura Trevelyan and anti-reparations Conservative peer Lord Tony Sewell, who is the former Chair of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities. It’s the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Samoa, with leaders of the 56 Commonwealth nations all gathering for the first summit since King Charles took to the throne. Some of those attending from African and Caribbean nations have talked of using the occasion to press Keir Starmer into paying financial reparations for Britain's role in the slave trade. Is there any case for atoning for the past monetarily, or would all parties be better off discussing how to work more closely in the future? We want to hear from you!
