But the whole point is that because of the embarrassment we feel now for the past and what European countries perpetrated all those many years ago, and lets face it, it wasn’t always so far afield, we may have gone too far the other way in being apologists.
It is accepted that some of the things that were done should never have happened, but in some ways the days of Empire are still being paid for. When do we move on, and stop having to apologise for this country’s past behaviour?
