Who will they apologise to next?

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and other senior clergymen pressured Bliar to apologise for Britains role in the slave trade which ended 200 years ago this year.  He hasn’t done so yet but it’s bound to happen.

Today Margaret Beckett has “expressed regret” for the deaths on both sides during the Falklands War.  Both sides.  Regret.  The Argentinians invided a British colony, we gave them a seeing to – why should we apologise?  We could have taken the entire southern tip of Argentina in the name of creating a “buffer zone” – who would have objected other than Argentina?

Who’s next?  Will we be apologising to the Germans for their casualties during the two world wars they started?  How about the Spanish for the losses they incurred when we scuttled the Armarda while it was en-route to invade England?  The Italians for the deaths caused when trying to repel the Roman invasion?

If anyone needs an apology it’s the English for the racism and discrimination suffered at the hands of this anti-English Labour government.
