"Most people who go to private school aren't wealthy.." Well, that's bollocks. Most people who send their kids to private schools are clearly wealthy enough to do so. Most children who attend private school come from the wealthiest families. Some students win scholarships and have their fees partially or fully covered if they are considered an asset to the school because of their excellence in which case it is the parents choice to try and make up the difference if they are less wealthy and they can either afford to do this or they can't. She's says it's cruel.. have these people have any awareness of what their party did to the least fortunate in this country? Look in the mirror and you may understand where cruelty really comes from.

[@teasocietysunglasses5244]

I think you are honestly completely confused at how a society or how running a country works. If it becomes too expensive to send kids to private school those children just put pressure on the existing state school system just as it would for the NHS if private healthcare goes up. The premise that they aren’t wealthy is true, many families often first gen immigrants scrimp and save and sacrifice their own quality of life to provide a top education for their kids. My local cornershop, first gen Bangladeshi, sent their boy to one of the best schools in the country and he’s probably got a better income than me now lol! Good for them. I went to a rubbish local state school, half the kids I grew up with are in jail or miserable. Half of them had wet liberal middleclass parents, stuck in the 60’s. At some point you have to stop expecting the State to solve all your problems, it’s up to you to stop thinking about yourselves, build a family and sacrifice for and think for you kids instead of me me me. The most ironic thing about modern metro collectivism is that it is all about why everything should change to provide X for me and someone else has to pay. It’s very individualist. The original collective is the family, grow some backbone, stop drinking, eat clean, get fit, stop whinging and get out of Mum and Dad’s bedroom and work. Stop reading doom and gloom, you are what you eat. If you want to worry about something worry about how mentally and physically unfit you’ll be in the coming war with China, Iran and Russia after a decade being fed self worth destroying neurotic left wing drivel online.

Yes, pay reparations, for what the average Brit is embarrassed and has had no involvement in. Also, many of these countries wanting reparations are corrupt.

It's easy to ignore the fact that, Britain started diminishing, from the day, she started losing her colonies, full stop. She started losing prestige, power, wealth and her position in the world. Her foundations, might, power and wealth were based solely on her hold over the colonies. So it follows, since we profited, benefited from the Slave Trade, and colonies, we should pay Reparations. Not to worry, a day will come, when we will apologize unreservedly and also pay Reparations. A Black woman defending Britain' past atrocities, in order to become Prime minister.

Saying the British deserve praise for ending the slave trade is like saying a murderer deserves praise because they decided to stop killing. Without punishment or reparations its still criminal.

[@danmayberry1185]

Objectively, both US Republicans and Tories have put forward many bright, capable, and internationally respected leaders. If democracy requires at least two healthy parties, then surely the state of democracy has been damaged by the implosion of sound conservative representation.

[@kevinsmarts9953]

I typically hate right wing politics but not always the politicians themselves (there are a couple), but the current crop in both Tory and Republican parties are rotten and need to be removed from those parties if normality and serious conduct can resume.

[@weswheel4834]

Does Badenoch know what the term "dog whistle" means? How can it be a dog whistle to use the term culture wars?

[@RichardEnglander]

Because whenever normal people speak about culture they are told it is then making the Culture Wars, when really it is the Cultural Marxists who have upended everything via the Long March Through the Institutions, they are gaslighting us pretending that they aren't the ones in the offensive as they rewrite history and laws, take down statues and rename streets and buildings...

It's because they don't have any ideas of their own so they parrot/bastardise what the left say. They do it all the time.

[@PeaceChiillax]

The polling question were odd. « Raise your hand if you WILL vote for Jenrick » vs « Raise your hand if you MAY vote for Badenoch » I did not think much until then. It seems like this interview were to make an illusion that there is support for Kemi Badenoch. As the question asked did not imply any commitment. So even those who are quite sure to vote for Jenrick may raise their hands as by the question asked « MAY vote for Badenoch » does not require any definitive answer. Is Kemi Badenoch really there to refine the image of the Conservative Party? Or for promotion? If that is the case I hope they pay her really really well. This is a whole theory based on the language used by the host. It may be very very wrong.

Kemi talks about being British, I wonder whether she is aware that there will be many GBNews who will never accept that she is really British because her ancestors aren't British born!

[@kevinsmarts9953]

Her parents are Nigerian and although she was born in London she spent her childhood in Nigeria and the US, returning at aged 16 due to the political instability in Nigeria at that time. She said to Parliament (in her maiden speech) that she is effectively a first generation immigrant. I'm Irish and live in Spain and honestly I'm more British than her.

The best form of reparation is for British to support good governance in those countries. Be sincere about good bi lateral trades, sanction corrupt officials of those countries, accept that development of those countries are infact integral part of Britain development. Reparations in cash would only go to pockets of corrupt leaders.

[@TonyWelch75]

I’d love to know how people think the reparations payments would be calculated and who’s going to actually pay for it, so many questions, my family are all English/British but going back 200 years hailed from Ireland so am I culpable as a current UK tax payer? Is it only people whose history can directly be traced back to a beneficiary of the trade? Would African slave traders be liable for their portion? Would any descendants of slaves that have benefited from being a uk citizen also be considered to have benefitted from the slave trade? Would those that receive payouts be prepared to invest their payout in African economies? Would Brits be liable for a payout from Italy or Nordic countries that invaded the uk?

If reparations to the colonized and enslaved is not coming, why not return African Kings' crowns, Artifacts and crowns laying in UK museums. That could be a good start.

Irish pirates raided and took slaves from mainland Britain for centuries. Many Irish elites were fully on board and participated in the British Empire. Scotland attempted colonisation prior to the act of union. Really tired of the smug moralising from Celts.

Where did you read that the British were among the last to abolish slavery? Historically, not only was the reverse actually true, but the British invested heavily in blood and treasure so that the Royal Navy could drive theNorth Atlantic slave trade from the earth.
