Mr Callaway

'arguments in this country about how to report and recognise the sins of the past rather than just brush them under the carpet as some would like to do'.

I personally have no desire to brush Britain's involvement in slavery under the carpet.

I would simply hope the subject were discussed dispassionately in historical terms of what it was - beliefs, attitudes and actions that pertained at the time that we would not countenance today.

And I do not support the view that Afro-Caribbean citizens of the UK today that might or might not have been descended form those slaves should in anyway be compensated for how their ancestors were treated.

Compensated for what ?

Slavery today seems to be the stock in trade of Albanians, Vietnamese and various Arab states from what I read.

From Amnesty website -

"Syria: Authorities must investigate abductions of Alawite women and girls "

'The Syrian government must urgently step up efforts to prevent gender-based violence and promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigate cases of abducted and kidnapped Alawite women and girls, and hold perpetrators accountable, Amnesty International said today.  

Since February 2025, Amnesty International has received credible reports of at least 36 Alawite women and girls, aged between three and 40, abducted and kidnapped across Latakia, Tartous, Homs, and Hama governorates by unidentified individuals. From these cases, Amnesty International documented the abduction and kidnapping in broad daylight of five Alawite women and three Alawite girls below the age of 18'.

I too admire Olusogo.

I recall giving his programme 'Empire' a plug earlier.
