Wh...All of this apologising is getting out of hand. What has happened, has happened. The important point to make is we learn the lessons of history and try not to repeat mistakes. In this year of celebrating the life of William Wilberforce, I am not going to apologise for slavery. It had nothing to do with me; it is in the past and that is where it will stay.Andrew Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001512586556659809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31655026.post-70902183313746079762007-02-25T22:06:00.000+00:002007-02-25T22:06:00.000+00:00These PC apologies are all about the apologizers ....These PC apologies are all about the apologizers . . .

I am thinking perticularly of the pardon and inclusion on war memorials last week of the 2 British soldiers shot for "cowardice" in WW1. If that helps their families, then that's OK with me. And the last Pope apologising for the Vatican's failure to help the Jews in WW2 was, I think, needed. But you do begin to wonder where all this will stop. I don't think the scene you picture in your last sentence is so far-fetched!Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.com
