Pay reparations to countries (e.g. Jamaica) affected by British trade in slaves.
The UK is (in world terms) a stable and infrastructurally well-developed country in which to live and be creative. These conditions and the opportunities that they allow us are not simply owed to luck; they have been enabled by invested wealth that was generated by the slave trade. We owe debts.
