"I'm *so* sorry"

The Moai on Chuckles expressing regret for slavery:

“He's very good at apologising for things he has no responsibility for, isn't he? Like this.

If he wants to make amends for past wrongs he could start here or he could do something about existing problems of the above nature.

But that might take a *bit* more time and effort, and Tony lacks both now.”

My take on it? Well, to my knowledge Blair has never had any slaves. And he wasn’t around when the British Slave Trade was in full swing. So apologising would be a complete waste of arsing time. Blair should focus on apologising for things he is responsible for, not things that happened hundreds of years ago and all those affected are long since dead.

This whole culture of nations apologising for things that happened in the past really pisses me off. We are perfectly happy to apologise for things that we haven’t done, but not for those that we have. The people who had slaves are dead. The people who were slaves are dead. The time for an apology came and went fucking centuries ago. If Blair has an ounce of respect for himself or this country he will never apologise for Slavery. To do so would be a publicity stunt, a complete and total waste of fucking time.

So expect an apology from Blair any moment now.
