Those “spongers” are pointing out that their national debt is much greater than western countries, And their countries more badly affected by climate change than others. Both linked to their history This is what the reparations will cover

"The UN judge Patrick Robinson concluded last year that the UK owed more than £18tn in reparations"

I'll tell you what the reparations would cover.

New mansions.
New cars.
New planes.
New yachts.
New this ...
New that ...

Not for the masses, for the corrupt folk running these countries

Im just glad norway has made a fortune from oil so we can claim against them for those Vikings who enslaved people of the british isles

And the Normans, and the Ottomans who captured slaves from Britain and other northern European countries.

Notch likes to make racist jokes - considering the subject of conversation.
