HILARY FORDWICH: 2,000 [British] Naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery.

00:00.  Well, this is coming when, you know, all of this wealth and you hear about it comes as England is facing rising costs of living, a living crisis, austerity budget cuts, and so on.  And then you have those who are asking for reparations for colonialism, and they're wondering, you know, $100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there. Some people want to be paid back and members of the public are wondering, why are we suffering when you have all of this vast wealth?  Those are legitimate concerns.

00:33.  Well, I think you're right about reparations.  In terms of if people want it though, what they need to do is always go back to the beginning of a supply chain. Where was the beginning of the supply chain?  That was in Africa.  And when across the entire world when slavery was taking place, which was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery?  The first nation in the world to abolish it it was started by William Wilberforce, it was the British.  In Great Britain, they abolished slavery.  2,000 Naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery. Why?  Because the African kings were rounding up their own people.  They had them on cages waiting on the beaches.  No one was running into Africa to get them.  And I think you're totally right, if reparations need to be paid we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say, "Who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffed in cages?"  Absolutely!  That's where they should start.  And maybe, I don't know, the descendants of those families where they died on the high seas trying to stop the slavery, that those families should receive something, too, I think at the same time.  --Hilary Fordwich 

01:33.  It's an interesting discussion, Hillary.  Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.  We'll continue to discuss in the future.  So remember the impact of the supply chain crisis on the economy during . . . ?
