The romans introduced slavery here, so it should be Rome making good, it goes back far longer than the colonies

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.

Balls!

I'm saying the jewel entrusted, marble floored greatness beauty and wonder of the UK has in part come from the exploitation of our empire. Said former subjects of said empire want to migrate here (because it is nice), and maybe MAYBE we should be more welcoming. That is my generalisation, or rather my moral question! Do I personally feel guilty; no. But I have migrant DNA so maybe I don't see the sweeping generalisation that migrants are bad.

I think you will find that building materials used in the UK have been paid for. Who said migrants are bad?

Actually we do not. My point is if there is anything to feel guilty about then it needs to be proven rather than assumed. I think we British have far more to be proud of than ashamed of and we do not owe anything to the rest of the world. That includes any right to live here.
