The BBC is reporting <\/a>that Tony Blair has expressed his ‘sorrow’ over Britain’s role in the slave trade – but stopped short of a full apology – apparently because of fears that this may lead to demands for (financial) reparations.<\/p>\n

You may wish to read what New Nation <\/a>(the UK’s best selling ‘Black Newspaper’) has to say on the matter – and they have the full text of Blair’s speech.<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a>‘s 10 Facts About British Slavery <\/a>may also help inform your view.<\/p>\n

Should nations \/ Governemnts apologise? Who to?<\/strong>
<\/strong>
Are financial reparations appropriate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I look forward to your comments – – <\/em><\/p>\n
