Well, at least Mr Condell has the courage to stand up and be recognised, not like the KKK/NF members on this foum.

Moreover, anyone who thinks that slavery was/is abhorrent must have a chip on their shoulder?
Your poor (or lack of education) is eminent. Is this another case of "the national amnesia"?Not so. Those that bleat on about events that occured hundreds of years ago as if they have current value, they're the ones whose delts are loaded with McCains finest.
But slavery was only abolished (in UK) 181 years ago, although the slaves were not freed for a further six years
So, lets get this right, ,,,, you still expect us to apologise for something that happened at least a hundred and forty years before we were born??
Get real man.. FFS next you'll be wanting the church to apologise for Adam and Eve and their "original sin".
You go live in the past Rogue. Leave the present to those of us fortunate to be living in it.
Acknowledged.acknowledgement is more feasible and workable as a necessary step to reconciliation than a blame/apology approach.
And you misunderstand me Rogue.. I can't apologise for some crime/event committed by a long forgotten ancestor and neither should anyone else. We have to live in the present and shouldn't dwell on the past. We can't go back and change anything. Whilst accepting your point about "learning from the past", I do feel we shouldn't be apologising for anything we have no control over..
Again, the use of your Aunt Sally argument.You however, in this and other threads, seem hell bent on making us all feel guilty for the sins of the father, grandfather, great grandfather, great, great grandfather (ad nauseum)
Another Aunt Sally argument.The lefties have to justify their demented support for an immigration policy that's as open-door as possible. Making out that the current population of The UK somehow owes something for the perceived 'sins' of their forefathers is how they do it.
You must be a very sick individual to go searching t'internet for this kind of material.So,millions or billions of pounds will prevent this?
More strawman arguments.Rogue will probably claim that the chap there was a professional stuntman..
Apart from your use of even more strawman arguments, I do so wish that you would read and make some attempt to understand my posts:Anyway Rogue,, whilst you may not ask that we apologise for the slave trade, you seem to think that reparation for it is alright... OK, why should I or anyone else pay reparation for the sins of our forefathers?
It is absolutely understandable that the injustice (and the awareness of the unfair distribution of wealth) that occurred would still be felt amongst the great, great grandchildren. The wealth that was created would be considered as derived from criminal activities, by today's standards and would be recoverable, via legal process.
What is easily possible is to recover that which is recoverable, i.e. the compensation paid by UK government. What would not be possible is to recompense those affected by the injustice of slavery.
I'm so glad that there is at least one intelligent poster contributing to this thread.I don't think the analogy of personal responsibility and state responsibility holds true.
When a government changes, the next lot of people in charge have to abide by the treaties etc that the state entered under previous govts.
In the same way the govt of the day is responsible for paying damages for previous govt actions or responsibilities.
The issue in the case of slavery is more one of time elapsed in my view.
