MEANINGLESS 21ST CENTURY APOLOGIES

   Why is it so hard for the Leftie woke mob to understand that there isn't a single Briton alive today who was part of the slave trade or who is responsible for the crimes of dead slave traders? Yet we're constantly being asked to apologize for them and to self-flagellate because they once existed. We're told by Leftie elitists and the young - who have been brainwashed by them - that we must tear down monuments, deface buildings, completely erase our history if it in any way was connected to the slave trade.

   Well, newsflash – everything 300-400 years ago was. Not just in Britain but in most of Europe – Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Denmark. And ditto the rest of the world, including Africa which in 2021 is still the world’s epicentre of modern day slavery.
   What’s the point of 21st-century apologies for crimes which ended in the 19th century? They mean nothing. They achieve nothing. It’s just empty gesture politics from people with their own political agendas.
  Yes, every one of us accepts that slavery was utterly repugnant. But we don’t hear much about the fact that Britain was one of the world leaders in its abolition. Because that doesn’t suit the Woke narrative.
