A Jamaican friend told me the British were crappy slave owners there, they would go down to the boat docks and buy some slaves, take them home and tell them to work. The slaves would run off and the owners would be like "darn it they ran off again. Have to go buy some more to get all this work done"
'We can't change our history' on slave trade, says Keir Starmer
The prime minister says the practice was "abhorrent" but does not commit to making reparation payments.
