## Key points

- The article mocks calls for slavery reparations.
- It cites Britain’s £3 trillion national debt.
- The writer says £40 million should tackle modern slavery.

## Summary

Andy Burnham has raised the possibility of slavery reparations, prompting this opinion article to argue that Britain should attach conditions to any payments. The writer rejects the case for reparations and uses satire to suggest that countries seeking compensation should also accept various British inconveniences and public figures.

The article says Burnham has £40 million to allocate and argues it would be better spent tackling modern slavery. It contrasts the UK’s national debt, put at £3 trillion or 102% of GDP, with figures cited for Jamaica (£11 billion), Ghana (£47 billion) and Barbados (£5.7 billion), while noting that leaders in those countries have made much larger claims about what Britain owes them.
