But why should the Prime Minister alone be asked to apologise for slavery …. unless it is to grab some cheap and sensational publicity.
No I think that every man, woman and yes even child in the entire UK should immediatly apologise for slavery. They are all responsible for it – especially the children.
We should have parades, processions, public meetings, focus groups, petitions, debates in Parliament, loads of articles in newspapers, 24/7 wall to wall TV coverage …. no stone should be left unturned is the quest for public apology.
We should all of us donate all of our income to promote world peace and an end to global poverty ..but above all – we should say ”Sorry”.
I’ll lead the way. ”I am soooooo sorry”.
I’m not going to apologise for the actions of my forfathers, they take it upon their own head to commit such a crime let them carry the can.
Who is going to dig them up and tell them?
:?:
Your getting the whole meaning of this wrong.. The sorry is a sign of recognition that slavery is bad and the British wont do it again. I don’t think no other person in this country should say sorry. But Blair saying sorry is symbolic gesture and recognition to black slavery and the part the British played in it. No black person is saying that white people living now in England are responsible for slavery and demand a apology. The sorry is saying, Great Britain made some mistakes it wont ever be repeated.
Its like the country is its past and present and that is how its divined in books and to other people around the world and the political figures and heads of state sometimes do have to apologize about things that are 100/200 years old. As they are representing Britain. Its not the same as child saying sorry because he hit someone at school You have misunderstood.
There are tons of things every year that the government have to recognise and say sorry for, Just last year all the soldiers that got hanged for being cowards all there family’s got told sorry by the government..
This is nothing new or something that only black people ask for.. It happens everywhere around the world and in every country.
Just the media have made it into massive issue and every-ones took it soo out of context.

Agreed.
I am sure that Britain ”won’t do it again” because we’re all really really sorry.
Do you suppose that we could organise a big international conference in Africa so that all the African Chiefs that were involved in selling their countrymen (& women) into slavery to the nasty European slave traders could apologise as well???
There could be a massive agendsa with loads of motions submitted by Thirld World countries, all deeply critical of all Western countries – particularly the USA and the UK – and Bush & Blair could personally attend to apologise and be ritually humiliated in front of the world’s press.
Maybe they could all submit resolutions to the United Nations so as to gain maximum publicity for this banquet of apologising.
Perhaps it could be held in Zimbabwe because they could do with the cash – and the BBC wouldn’t be allowed to be there to report it.
Just being silly now and still missing the point.. Can’t be arsed to explain no more..
Is childish argument your having. Like going DUH George should say sorry for mcdonalds , Duh Blair should say sorry for tying his shoelaces wrong..How as well is it humiliating for tony blair to say sorry for the part uk has played in slavery trade.. I suppose if you are misunderstanding the reason then yes, I guess if you read the sun daily or member of the bnp then his apology would be humiliating..
But not in my eyes and you find over the course of the future, UK will apologize for more and more things that happened in the past.. All countries do. Its way the world works and makes history look a little bit nicer..
Why is this topic , so hard for people to get.. Whats the big deal..
Yawns zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Rather ignorantly assumptious of you to assume i’ll make someone a slave.

No, blair is a salesman, he uses politics to sell a story to the world that inturn earns him your taxes.
No black person is saying that white people living now in England are responsible for slavery and demand a apology.
Do please tell them to shut up about it then.

Of course, because were too stupid to realise…

Get away, they say sorry for everything? You’re having a larf.
Maybe they say sorry for others wrong doings, which of course is a great sales blag, and people like you fall for it EVERYTIME.

Whatever lol Find me one black person saying they want any white people to appologize as indivuals.. There asking for the country to appologize.. Can’t you understand the differences .. And most black people dont give two shits

Great britain says sorry for lots of stuff that happend in the past, You should spend less time reading the sun newspaper and watch the news more offen.
Maybe they say sorry for others wrong doings, which of course is a great sales blag, and people like you fall for it EVERYTIME.
No i don’t fall for nothing, I just understand how politics works.. I couldnt care less if they appologize or not. But i understand why they have to.. Its not about me or you.

Nothing to do with us today, no need to talk about slavery then.
For what ever reason Blair is primeminster. There for politically duties of apologizing for past mistakes as gestures of good will are down to him..
But blair wasn’t elected to appologise for past government mistakes.
He does so, because it creates browney points. As i said, he’s a salesman. Its very difficult for millions of people to see past his sales technique.
Whatever lol Find me one black person saying they want any white people to appologize as indivuals.. There asking for the country to appologize.. Can’t you understand the differences .. And most black people dont give two Hot Chocolate
The people are the country.
And i dont see what hot drinks have to do with it.
DUH ITS FUK ALL TO ABOUT YOU
I know that, thats why im saying we as a country shouldn’t have to recognise, let alone appologise for what idiots did 200 years ago.
Great britain says sorry for lots of stuff that happend in the past
On behalf of the electorate?
No i don’t fall for nothing, I just understand how politics works.. I couldnt care less if they appologize or not. But i understand why they have to.. Its not about me or you.
We dont HAVE TO.
