Morning all.

Amnesty have folded to Rowling

The first UK Apologiser I noted was one Anthony Charles Lynton Blair .

He got off his plane in West Africa and 'apologised' for the long-historic transatlantic slave trade .

I can't remember if that was before or after he helped to plunge the Middle East into a series of still continuing wars, massacres, and millions of desperate refugees .

The UK domestic political apology is a peculiarly UK phenomenon. It makes me imagine a female primary school teacher in a playground scolding little Johnny for pulling Susie's hair, and forcing him to say ''Sorry" to her .

For adults the modern Great Crime is having their feelings hurt , so now the polis have to be called .

The Board of Deputies is now whingeing that Diane Abbott has not displayed the appropriate degree of remorse for whatever it was that hurt their precious feelings !
