Come to London and walk from its one side to another.Half of the city is built using the money stolen or simply taken away from other countries. And eventually, even though it takes a while, all these shady actions start haunting the country and its current citizens end up paying for it one way or another.

And how do you determine which citizens will have to pay up? Just the White English people, or are the White Polish people also responsible?

What about the Nigerian/Pakistani/Jamaican/Indian English folk?

And, if you say that should not be limited to current passport nationality (in case of the White English) but who their ancestors were, and we test everyone's DNA and so, there's a lot of Americans and other people who will be liable?

Moreover, do people with mixed ethnicity pay partial reparations to reflect the number of 'national' genes in their genome, and how many thousands of years are we going to backdate this?
