    Barbadians are selfish to want to keep this lady to ourselves. She belongs among the greatest speakers for the development of the underdeveloped. She is world class !! She's a rock star.

    Why do i get the feeling this lady mottley will eventually force the world to listen to her. Then everyone will jump on board. Crying me to. This is classic David vs Goliath. One of the greatest leaders in the world today. Amazing what a small nation like Barbados is achieving in this big world.

    Looking forward to this, only just saw this video was available. Admired Motley from afar for a while now, from what little I know anyway she seems like a very talented and capable leader. Sure this will be an interesting talk!

    If reparations are given the calculations would have to be extremely complex and, of course, a net figure.
    They should incorporate the contributions to mankind created within any given jurisdiction and include medical, political, cultural and economic developments that have contributed to the wellbeing of humans alive today.
    Given this logical scenario I think the UK will become something of a new Qatar living extremely lavishly for generations on the contributions of their ancestors.

    She shut down bossy BBC and Zainab. Why Zainab doesn't take interviews of Sudan, Pakistan, Pirates, Houthis and non houthis?

    So uncanny , that our Honourable PM Mia Motley of Barbados, Lecture to the London School Of Economic (LSE) comes at a time when Venezuela threatens an invasion of Guyana. She reminds us that she sat as a student when Grenada had to be rescued from a revolution of dictatorship,orchestrated by the late Maurice Bishop. Our former PM Tom Adams arose to that occasion,to facilitate US intervention in Grenada,after a lecture at the above mentioned LSE. Will Madura be visited the same fate ,by our current PM helping to facilitate prevention of Guyana invasion, by bringing global attention to Venezuela actions?

    Equality does not exist in the universal, world nor does it exist in the natural world. It only exists in the subjective theory of the human mind.
    There will always be greater and lesser people than yourself on this planet. ( An irrefutable truth ) What exits in the universal world and did exists in the natural world ( before man), is balance. BALANCE creates harmony.

      The Jews were paid billions of dollars in reparations after the Holocaust, rightly so, tax payers who had nothing to do with this atrocity. So what's the difference. Almost every western country benefited from the Trans Atlantic mass trafficking of Africans, so yes you should pay for your ancestors barbarism, which incidentally is still going on in some countries today.

      What matters is not blame, but consequences. Reparations are not punishment, but restitution
