Barbados PM Mottley rejects UK lawmaker's claim that former colonies should repay Britain.
Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley called 'asinine' a suggestion by former UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman that Britain's former colonies should repay it for historic investments. Braverman made the claim in a July 3 post responding to news that Jamaica planned to lodge a formal reparations petition. Mottley responded that the Caribbean does not owe Britain for slavery or colonial extraction.
