Richard Madeley in furious row with President of Guyana Irfaan Ali who demands UK should pay slavery reparations because 'it still benefits from the greatest indignity to the human being' - as UN report calls on countries to consider compensation​

Richard Madeley clashed with the President of Guyana live on air this morning after he said the UK should pay slavery reparations in the wake of a UN report calling on countries to consider compensation for their roles in the transatlantic slave trade.

President Irfaan Ali, whose country received a formal apology from the descendants of a British slave owner last month, said that the UK must realise it 'still benefits from the greatest indignity to the human being'.

His comments come after a report by UN chief Antonio Guterres called on countries to consider financial reparations for the 'harms suffered as a result of colonialism and enslavement'.

Last month, a leading international judge also claimed Britain owes almost £19trillion in reparations for its role in the international slave trade, and even that might be an 'underestimation'.

But when a furious Madeley quizzed President Ali on why today's generation should 'carry the burden' for what their ancient ancestors did, President Ali told Good Morning Britain: 'Oh it's not a burden at all. You are one of the beneficiary of that slave trade so this is not a burden.

'You should be concerned and you should pay because you today still benefit from the greatest indignity to the human being and that is the slave trade. And not only did you benefit during the slave trade and your country develop but look at what it cost the developing world.

He continued: 'This is the problem. We live in a very unjust society. We condemn completely the war in Ukraine. But if you look at the mobilisation of resources in the war in Ukraine in two years, you have mobilised more support for Ukraine than you have mobilised for Haiti for 60 years.

Last month, Patrick Robinson, who sits in International Criminal Court, claimed that countries behind the centuries of atrocities were 'obliged to pay' and accused politicians like Rishi Sunak of burying their heads in the sand.

He spoke after an academic report in June alleged that 31 former slaveholding states - which also include the United States and Spain - owed $100trillion - $131trillion between them.

Speaking to the Guardian, Robinson said: 'I believe that the UK will not be able to resist this movement towards the payment of reparations: it is required by history and it is required by law.'
