All BBC and Guardian employees won't even need to be asked. They'll willingly give 10% of their wages to live by their convictions.

No reason you could have several tiers?

So the entry level would get you say the afore mentioned mug, perhaps with a picture of St George Floyd, RIP/PBUH, on it? Then a paper hat, with a rainbow flag on it. And so on and on.

Suspect many on the Left would lap it up.

Potentially the top level. Maybe even a special parade once a year? Only open to people who pay this extra tax? Might even be able to combine them with the Pride celebrations? Because who would not be proud of themselves for this kind of gesture?

I would introduce a voluntary additional tax. If people feel guilty about it, they can pay an extra penny on the pound in income tax.

And offer people a badge they can wear to let us all know. Or a hat.

Too late, mate, there was an involuntary tax that we taxpayers had to pay for slavery and it was only paid off in 2015. Who was it payed to?

Why, mostly the aristocratic slave owners who had lost their 'property' upon abolition. At the time it totalled £20m. It's difficult to surmise what that would mean in terms of today's money but apparently it represented 40 percent of the Treasury’s annual income or about 5 percent of British GDP at the time.

Yes - to the aristocracy.

I don't suppose I should be surprised, but why has there not been a thread on these boards decrying these disgusting facts and demanding that the beneficiaries/ descendants should repay all that money to our government/taxpayers. After all, the accrued riches supported and continues to support their fiscal dominance and well being even to this day.

It wouldn't be hard to do; the bank of England still has details of who received the bonds at the time.

Come on, Matov et al. The facts are there so let's hear you demanding that something be done about it.

It's only common sense, fair's fair.

Grifters always want free money.

This entire narrative has been created and taught by the left. If they personally want to pay money to grifters then who am I to stop them. Nothing has ever stopped them from doing so....If they have in the past let them continue.

However, not for one moment do I accept their complete and utter BS and not one penny from me mate.

It's just selective and revisionist history for the white guilt weirdos out there. Strange how there's none of this crap for all the black slavers or Arab slavers (bigger and much longer lasting than anything western) and every other slaver.....or the fact that there is more slavery going on in Africa today than ever there was in the past....What are they doing about that? Bugger all. Unlike those people of the past, who they called racists, who actually spend vast amounts of their wealth and lost military and naval lives forcing the end of slavery on foreign shores in their eras......literally having to use force and blockage to stop Africa tribal chiefs trading slaves....They think they are better people but actually do nothing compared to them.

Virtue signalling Weirdos.
