The king gave a lesson in diplomacy at the Commonwealth of Nations summit. Britain participated in the slave trade, and then spent decades using the RN to suppress it, at enormous economic and human cost. Charles expressed regret, but did not apologize or offer compensation. Meanwhile, the Burnhams government has some interesting spending priorities: £40 million for infrastructure in the Caribbean over 3 years in reparations. £30 million the British Army is trying to save by canceling training.
