The United Kingdom and the Caribbean began talks today aimed at renewing and revitalizing their relationship, during the seventh UK-Caribbean Forum in Grenada.

High-level delegations from across the Caribbean and the United Kingdom discussed issues including security, trade and climate change.

“I think it’s already been extremely useful,” UK Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a press conference. “It’s certainly been very good from the United Kingdom’s point of view, to create for us the better understanding and the fullest possible understanding of the needs and concerns of our friends and partners in the Caribbean.”

    The British only come to the Caribbean when it’s in their interest. A few countries have apologized for their involvement in the slave trade. Britain is afraid to apologize as they are afraid of facing legal action. They need to compensate us for the many people who were and the slave legacy still lives in places like the UK.

      The UK will say and do nothing about it
