I can sympathise with the idea that the British empire hurt alot of people. But if you endorse the reperation idea then where should we stop? Perhaps i should sue the French for the Norman invasion.

there are actually some valid cases , maybe put a limit ie people who are still alive,

remember election day what was it 2005? ,

Blair exiled an entire people from their home land, the Diego Garcians , using an ancient dictatorial rule ,

namely as we had built a gigantic airbase on their Island, to add insult to injury we said they couldn't live on any of the outlaying Islands either, and that they could NEVER ever ever ever ever return,

the high court overturned it end of 2006,

We have only recently finished paying America reparations for the money they "donated" to us during World War 2.

I think the only colonies we probably really hurt were those of Africa, there are loads of Colonies that are doing well for themselves. India, Australia etc.

Sure we should pay them a load of money as compensaion for any harm they believe (and can prove) they have suffered at the hands of the empire.
Of course this works both ways, and we should expect to be able to bill the same people for the infrastructure we created in their countries including buildings, road systems, communications, water and sewage handling systems, business infrastructure, banks, housing, schools, hospitals etc. Plus several decades of defence and government of course!
The proceeds from that little lot should see us all fairly comfortable for some time to come
