The British gov't refuse to consider apologising for invading Ireland 400 years ago...

The British gov't refuses to consider reparations for all of those crimes against indigenous folks (such as: theft, slavery, grave robbing, rape, murder, attempted genocide..) out in the assorted colonies between 300 and 100 years ago..

Debates over both intitutionalised child abuse (especially within the Anglican Church..); and the topic of thousands of stolen British children sent out to Canada, Oz and NZ during WWII; are consistently being blocked within the British Parliament..

All things considered, the subject of institutional abuses against single mums in the Old Blighty really doesn't have a hope in hell of getting too far in the British parliament, does it ?

Unless, of course, it sees an apology there as a good chance to deflect attention away from even more serious historical abuses, across the board..
