Caribbean nations are set to make a bid to the British Royal Family alongside the Bank of England and Lloyd's of London for reparations over their role in the slave trade. National reparations commissions have gathered together to write letters to King Charles demanding financial payments and reparative justice, with plans to send them by the end of the year. “What do these Caribbean nations think they’re playing at; as if the King’s just going to send them a bit of money and say bugger off,” Sky News host Caleb Bond said. “If it works, let's say the King actually paid reparations to nations in the Caribbean for colonisation; what about all the convicts who were forcibly taken from their lands and set out to Australia to build the joint? “Surely they deserve some reparations as well.”
