They want 7 Billion and they want to remove the Queen of England as their head of state
QuoteJamaica is planning to ask the United Kingdom for compensation for the Atlantic slave trade in the former British colony, a senior government official said.
The Caribbean island nation will file a petition that could seek billions of pounds in reparations, pending legal advice, Olivia Grange, Jamaica's minister of sports, youth and culture, said.
'We are hoping for reparatory justice in all forms that one would expect if they are to really ensure that we get justice from injustices to repair the damages that our ancestors experienced,' Grange said.
'Our African ancestors were forcibly removed from their home and suffered unparalleled atrocities in Africa to carry out forced labour to the benefit of the British Empire,' she said, adding: 'Redress is well overdue.'
Jamaica was a centre of the slave trade, with the Spanish, then the British, forcibly transporting Africans to work on plantations of sugar cane, bananas and other crops that created fortunes for many of their owners.
An estimated 600,000 Africans were shipped to toil in Jamaica, according to the National Library of Jamaica.
To compensate slave owners, the British government took out a 20 million pound loan - a very large sum at the time - and only finished paying off the ensuing interest payments in 2015.

They should honestly ask for more, we spent more on the floppy covid track and trace app :dead:
Go for a cool 20 Bill B-)
Yeah 20 billion ain't even enough, but that's already going to send the British empire into possible debt and bankruptcy. They ain't got money like that. There is a long history of the throne abusing its rulership, killing innocent people and enslaving others and it's about to catch up with them.
Oh wait maybe they do got money their estimated worth in 2018 was almost 700 billion .whew unimaginable wealth.
