So, they are still healing then. I see one of the old ex-Nazis resigned in protest over there though, recently.

A diplomatic apology is the same as telling a one night stand you will call her the next day, or answering in the negative when a woman asks if an outfit makes her look fat when it does.

think an apology can be useful if still relevant politically. tha 100 yrs war is ancient history. the state then doesnt bear resemblance to the uk today. could be a different matter with the indian massacre but not too well informed on britindian politics.

Modern British politics isnt the same than that of a centuary ago. Britain and India have had close ties since Indias independance. I seem to recall the Queen gave an oplogy of sorts on a State visit back in the 90s. What sticks in my throat more than anything is Camerons cynicism, in talking of an apology while on a trade visit. The prick would be better served to have done it just on a general trip to India........ And yes, I did vote for him, I wont make that mistake again.

Screw the platitudes, give back the Koh-i-noor.

"...& one of your politico chaps said tha british should get over their colonial guilt" If all the Empire's direct and manipulated atrocities were totted up, I'm not sure that there is another nation who would even come in second place...

no no no, this topic is about the UK being the root of all evil, let them rant.... bless their hearts

Politesub53 -> RE: UK apology for India massacre? (2/21/2013 5:52:56 AM)
It wouldnt be so bad if it was true, or even supported by a fact of any sort. As per usual its the normal uneducated drivel.

No, I was saying that what the UK does now is more important than apologizing for something that happened a century ago.

Do the math... you can't go back far enough with the US, because we don't have the centuries behind us that the Brits do. All of the American atrocities since 1776 combined don't come anywhere close to that. Do the math, look at the millions of deaths from Bengal alone, and add in the slave trade, WWII, the famines in China after the Opium Wars, Africa, Asia, terra nullius, the Middle East et al... Not just vaguely connected to, but directly conducted or manipulated by those 'whose mail'd hand keeps the keys of such teeming destinies' Basically the rape of the whole planet for a thousand years. And like many rapists, still in denial, and still blaming it all on the ungrateful victims. quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead quote: ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 "...& one of your politico chaps said tha british should get over their colonial guilt" If all the Empire's direct and manipulated atrocities were totted up, I'm not sure that there is another nation who would even come in second place...
