No idea where the money would come from, but my suggestion would be to obtain it from the people who created the slave trade in the first place: Europeans.
No, no! Forget that lot on the Continent - we will take FULL responsibility - please send your invoice to:
Muggins UK Ltd.,

Oh and, DaButt if you can put the word round, England would be very happy to compensate any person(s) who think they might be entitled to damages from the American Civil War. We will be only to happy to pick up the tab, no matter how large.

Bollocks to that!
I don't mind sending a few bob to anyone whose ancestors were shot by the British in the War of Independence but the Civil War was nothing to do with us! 
I had an great great uncle in Birkenhead who got a really bad splinter building a Confederate ship and I want damages. Even now I only have to hear Dixie and I fall over and my ears wiggle,
This just in ! Trump is a lying cheating racist dickhead
Who'd a thunk it..!
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 27th February 2019, 11:41 AMWe like to put our hand up when there is ANY blame anywhere in the world and pay compensation even when it wasn't our fault and/or we had f**k all to do with it in the first place. But we're British you see and must show Johnny Foreigner how to keep a stiff upper lip and turn the other cheek when we are erroneously accused of ANYTHING.
I don't think the time is far off when some left wing loonie group decides what bastards we were for destroying the Aztec culture in the 16th century.
I blame that f**ker Drake.
I thought the bloody Eyeties started it - although some of those African empires had a big deal in slavery.

But as I say they were dealing in slavery themselves.
James Acaster says his girlfriend of two years, Louise Ford, has dumped him for Rowan Atkinson and that he found out by reading the story in a newspaper.
Apparently, James, 34, opened The Sun On Sunday to discover news of the relationship - which blossomed after Louise, 36, became close to Rowan, 64, during a play they did together.
Rowan is known all over the world as Mr Bean.
I have a feeling James is about to become known, at least among Louise's friends and family, as Mr Has-Been.
Manchester Grammar School is in the news today and newspapers are, for some reason, informing the world that former pupils of the school include cricketer Mike Atherton.
While that is perfectly true, I'm surprised they picked Mike Atherton as their sole example of an ex-pupil when they could equally well have picked any or all of: actor Ben Kingsley, comedian Chris Addison, historian Michael Wood, actor Robert Powell, writer Alan Garner and Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Bolt (who gave us Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago and a Man for All Seasons).
Morgan - the iconic British sports car company - has been bought, after 109 years in family ownership, by the Italians.
I remember when you could buy a Morgan +8 brand-new for £1200.
Mind you, in those days that was a decent year's wages - before deductions.
It was Rowan's lazy river what did it.

Incidentally, I am one of the 98% whose families from Blackfriars didn't even have shoes during the Empire and I want my money back. If not, a cotton and shellac plant on the outskirts of Grimethorpe will suffice.
Quote: Rood Eye @ 5th March 2019, 11:22 PMMorgan - the iconic British sports car company -
My father always wanted a Morgan. He owned several Triumph TR3s over the years. About 45 years ago a college kid drove past our house in one and my father flagged him down. Thirty minutes later he was the new owner. I loved when he'd drive me to school in it and claim that the speedometer was broken and we weren't really going 100 MPH.

Roxanne Pallet has reopened her Instagram account to express support for Michael Jackson, saying 'Just because you read it in a magazine or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual...'
I think those words might carry more weight if they came from someone who actually knows what a fact is.
