.....I cannot help but feel that all this  complaining about people long gone can only end in a demand for reparations  ...the fact that our "leader " apologised will be  shown as proof our yours  and my guilt  and culpability  ....that is to say that people alive today will be asked to pay for  the perceived  sins  of  persons long gone ...wait till we get  the bill !
