Jacqui Smith has said sorry, so that's all right then.

Computer pioneer Alan Turing, who helped crack German Enigma codes during WWII
This has been a year of deep reflection ? a chance for Britain, as a nation, to commemorate the profound debts we owe to those who came before. A unique combination of anniversaries and events have stirred in us that sense of pride and gratitude that characterise the British experience

For my part I would like to fatuously apologies on behalf of the nation regardless of how you might feel, for the Irish potato famine, the 'troubles' in Ireland, slavery, the war in Iraq and the earth quake that wreaked havoc at Pompey, most of which happened before I was born and over which I could have had no impact, I am sure there are others, please add....


























Getting my brother into trouble with my Mother during the summer of 1971, that seriously was all my fault. In my defence, he did rip my toe nail off with a bedroom door. surrender:

True.

It's often just too easy to apologise and assume that it makes everything all right again. As I say to my children "don't be sorry for something you shouldn't have done in the first place"

And that is what we should all be shouting at Jacqui Smith.

When sorry is said in words and not in actions it is no apology at all
