I understand what Britain did was wrong and requires corrective measures, but personally I just think financial reparation is not a very bright idea. For

  1. How do you ensure the money actually goes to victims in foreign countries
  2. If its given to their govts, what assurances UK has it’ll be used to improvement of victim’s life
  3. It can very well be used to fill the pockets of rich politician
  4. Even if ignoring all three, UK gets money in hand of ech victim personally, still doesn’t help the fundamental problem of marginalised community, money will run out so far in their hands, they’ll have no real impact.

I my opinion a 100 fully paid scholarships to university specifically for victims is a way better way to help them then just handing cash.
