From whom, to whom?Brian, would you be okay with proper reparations to all the old british colonies then for the lost lives and resources then?
It would be from people who haven't done the colonising to people who aren't colonised. It's a ludicrous idea; it would mean building a time machine and running history forwards and backwards to see which events had exactly which outcomes and effects. Otherwise you couldn't calculate the sum.
This idea is generally brought forward by people who feel victimised by history even the bits they were not alive for and used as an excuse for their own failings in the present.
