Burnham: Open to Slavery Apology, Not Reparations

Prime Minister Andy Burnham says he's open to a formal British apology for the transatlantic slave trade but has ruled out reparations. He laid that out in an op-ed in The Guardian, days before a Commonwealth summit in Antigua and Barbuda, during King Charles's Caribbean tour. Britain has never formally apologized or agreed to pay reparations, per AFP. Open to an apology, not the payment. That's all hat and no cattle. An apology costs nothing, which is why a politician will hand you one all day long, and the check is where the real conversation starts. Denis O'Brien of The Repair Campaign called the op-ed disappointing and wants a full formal apology now.
