          Come on you can do better than that. These things are being taken all the time and always have been and not just by British people. I am trying to get you prove the point that we British have something to answer for in terms of leaving the people in our past colonies in a worse position than they would otherwise have been. if you are making a point about stripping away other countries assets generations ago that should be compensated for by todays generation then give an example. I am not going to let you get away with making unfounded assumptions.

              The romans introduced slavery here, so it should be Rome making good, it goes back far longer than the colonies
              Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

              No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

                    I'm not going to give you endless examples; but the recent Gurkha ruling is another very recent migrant unfairness that has only just been addressed.

                      Fair point but all these examples have been looked at and actioned according to law, so any compensation is decided accordingly. What you are trying to do is write sweeping generalisations in the form of cliches to make a point that we the British should feel guilty about our past and somehow compensate others without any proof. The premise that you base this on has no proof. So I am afraid we have no obligations to anyone. If however you have a moral conscience about any of this there is nothing to stop you handing over your money or making room to house some unfortunate migrants.
