I see that Gordon Brown,while speaking during a week-long tour of Africa,stated there would be 'no UK apology' from Britain for its colonial past.

Mr Brown said it was time to talk about enduring British values of liberty and tolerance.

South African president Thabo Mbeki has attacked British imperialists,saying they treated Africans like savages.

Mr Mbeki is right.The British should apologise for their colonial past.However the first country they should offer a full and frank apology to is Ireland!
