Reparations would be unpayable. The UK doesn't have anywhere near the money to pay.

Got some nice castles and some pricey real estate down London area.

The Kohinoor diamond, originally taken from India and now part of the Queen's crown, is valued between half a billion and a billion dollars. And that’s just one piece of the royal collection, imagine the vast wealth and treasures hidden within the entire royal estate, enough to settle a large part of the reparations!

How much Foreign Aid has India had off Britain since 1947?

We can knock it off their bill.

Nah. That was stolen a couple of times before the Brits stole it so apparently not stolen by Brits. So I've been told.

The East India Company profited massively from the spice, tea, and opium trades, not to mention the heavy taxation and exploitation that led to famines and deaths of millions. In today's terms, we're talking hundreds of billions of pounds. No price can be placed on innocent lives lost. This excludes the countless pieces of jewelry and treasures plundered from India. The aid India has received from the UK doesn't even begin to offset the immense wealth gained during colonial rule.

We didn't charge them for their independence so let's just call it quits.

Either that or we'll take back their railways albeit riding on the roof might be shocking.

If the U.K, US and Germany paid reparations for all their misdoings over the last century, they would be a 4th world country and a new word would have to be created to describe their overwhelming debts.

Why are you limiting it to those countries only?

No amount of money can replace the millions of lives lost during colonial rule and the subsequent violence following the partition of India by Lord Mountbatten! Fall out can be felt today.

Meh, homosapiens originated in Africa and spread through Europe and beyond so pretty much it's all down to them really what happened after that and I don't see us sending them an invoice.

Can we not just pay them in illegal immigrants and asylum seekers?

Your comment may be facetious and I am generally a fan of your humour, but many people are fleeing former colonial regions in search of a safe passage and a better life in the UK. They should be allowed to contribute to our society (plunder even!), just as our ancestors did during the height of British colonial rule.

We can't afford to pay everyone off.

They need to compete against each other over who can make the best Compo Face.

Let's not overlook the hundreds of billions to possibly trillions (in today’s money) gained through exploitation, trade, and taxation!
