I was watching the news today and what struck me was the attitude Turkey has towards the Pope's visit. What is their problem and how are they even considering entering the European Union with this type of attitude (lets not even stress the Cyprus issue). What are your thoughts?

An entire English village was captured by African slavers and taken away prior to any English slave trade, so following Blair's reasoning African Governments should apologise for that? African Nations already practised slavery before the English or before them the Arabs started slaving. Finally, I have never enslaved anyone, nothing for me to apologise for and therefore nothing for the government, since they just the representatives of myself and other UK citizens, including UK citizens of African descent. The argument that because by some chance of birth I am guilty for the sins of previous generations is false

Yep. Its about this 200 year thing of freeing the slaves.

But, as far as I can see, slavery was around since the Egyptians, 7 millennia ago. It was still around during every empire the world has ever seen.

Then the Brits made an empire, profited – like every other empire and nearly all countries – through slavery.

The only difference was that the British middle class became wealthy and politically vocal and chose to abolish slavery throughout the empire and to pressure its trading partners to do the same.

They were the first people to do it…..ever!

Is this celebration more of a thank you to the British middle class rather than a sorry for 10,000 years of a legal and legitimate trade?

Is this not a war???? isn't everyone fighting in it? Or do the arabs not have a right to defend themselves, but the americans and jews can do what they want? kill all the innocent women and children bomb all their homes. First of all Palestine is the home of the Palestinians not the dum jews for gods sake. And it is known in Islam the true religion which beleives in One and Only One God. Not 3........ Just one the one taht created u and me... Allah has prohibited killing innocent civilenes but the war has gotten out of hand. just try and go to some arab sites and see whats happening in gaza and palestinia countries every single day, okay dont talk before u actually know the true story.

As the British government is now apologising to people about the Slave trade more than 200 years ago. I would now like to request the following countries make formal apologise.


Denmark: For the Viking raids about 1000 years ago where many British people where raped and murdered.

France: For the Norman invasion of 1066 and killing our king.

Italy: For the Roman Empire invading us some 2000 years ago killing many of the locals and giving us all of these straight roads.

England: For the crusades hundreds of years ago (I am sure that’s next on the list anyway)

God: On behalf of the Dinosaurs.

After that we can all grow long hair and sit around the camp fire singing GingGangGooley.

The BBC employes 27000 people but in reality can get by with only 5000. Their income would fall dramatically if they took adverts but the public would not feel conned, as we are living in the age of choice it is not 1970 with only 3 channels. If the BBC dissapeared tomorrow it would not be a big deal as they rarely produce anything of worth channel 4 takes more risks and produces much more entertaining, educational and worthy programming with 5% of the BBCs budget. The BBC is hung up with ethnic quotas producing shite like little miss jocelyn and trying to promote ethnic radio, it has lost its way and in the modern age a national broadcaster cant be all things to all men. Sky and ITV are just as bad charging us fortunes and producing not very much. Thank god for channel 4.
