保守党领袖巴登诺赫表示，为英国在跨大西洋奴隶贸易中的角色道歉将是一种“自嗨式的分心”，并将奴隶制描述为一种“每个大洲和地区的人都参与其中”的邪恶。
Tory leader says apology would be ‘navel-gazing distraction’ and would be used as lever for financial compensation Kemi Badenoch has said an apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade would be a “navel-gazing distraction”, describing slavery as an evil “in which people from every continent and region participated”.
巴登诺赫周日在接受广播公司采访时还质疑，未来领导人是否值得出席英联邦峰会，因为该峰会如今已被赔偿要求所主导。
Speaking to broadcasters on Sunday, Badenoch also questioned whether it was worth future leaders attending the Commonwealth summit, given that it was now dominated by calls for reparations.
