What is "middle of the road" when it comes to reparations?

Silly Lufin. She's not white, which will be the criteria.

Not true. Only Edward III like just about everyone else in the civilised world.
They differ from the people born in Lancashire, since Yorkshiremen only think they're descended from Christ.
