Hi
I was really interested to come across your amazing website while surfing the net, and am definitely interested in the petition. It is incredible that the world is in such a mess because of Britain.
But I have a question: would I have entitlement to the reparations, as a UK citizen? Of course, I had no personal involvement in past British crimes, but I can't deny that some of my ancestors probably did. Maybe I've answered my own question, and will have to accept exclusion from the payout. But that line of thinking makes me ask if the millions of people of British ancestry elsewhere in the world have to be excluded too. It's a difficult issue, so I'd wonder of you could let me know the think tank's thoughts on this subject.
Cheers
