Re: Amritsar massacre
Yes.
I never knew until recently that Michael O' Dwyer, the lieutenant governor of the Punjab at the time of the cold blooded murder of 100s of Indians was shot dead in 1940 at the Caxton Hall by Umdah Singh.

Re: Amritsar massacre
Why should we apologize, express regret or anything else?Disoriented wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2019 10:18 pm Isn’t it time we apologised rather than simply expressing ‘regret’?
I certainly did not carry out the massacre, not did I instruct anyone to carry it out.
The persons who ordered or carried out the massacre are the only people who have anything to apologize for...even then, the victims are all long since dead, so there is no one to apologize for

Re: Amritsar massacre
Before I even got to the bottom of the thread, I pretty much predicted your reply word for word.
You've become a parody of yourself, spenster

Re: Amritsar massacre
Hmmm. The ol’ Turkish defence re the Armenian genocide, spenny.
When you say “we”, nobody is expecting you to personally apologise for any historic wrongs/injustices. But Her Majesty’s Govt is a constitutional continuation of forebears responsible for earlier UK actions. The executive reviews and apologises for earlier State-sanctioned injustices quite regularly, which you’ll know as a legal eagle.

Its a load of bollicks demanding apologies from people who had nothing to do with it
Have the French apologised for killing King Harold @Battle in 1066?
The Romans for its brutal treatment of the Ancient Britons etc
Let's stop all this nonsense about demanding apologies from people for things they haven't don
No one alive now was involved in any of these events. Any apology is just a waste of words. Let's live in the now. Nothing can change the past

Re: Amritsar massacre
Relentlessly stupid, relentless WUMMing, relentlessly missing the point and relentlessly predictable.
As stated above - relentless.

Re: Amritsar massacre
So you are unable to answer the facts I have stated?
Are you demanding apologies from the French for the Death of King Harrold or from the Romans for their treatment of ancient Britons?
What about the Jews for their treatment of Early Christians?
No? Strange this demanding apologies is selective

Re: Amritsar massacre
No. I wonder if countries went down that route there would be a long list of apologies doing the rounds. It’s history, let it stay that way.

Re: Amritsar massacre
How far back does history go?
The Japanese have never apologised for their WW2 atrocities.
Is that okay?

Re: Amritsar massacre
It is not like an apology for spilling a pint. This is to recognise a century of agony for these families who have pit up with mealy-mouthed ‘regrets’ for that long for what was nothing short of a murderous act with catastrophic consequences.
Next Prez will be saying Bloody Sunday was justified.

Re: Amritsar massacre
Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how much such an apology might cost the UK if we were to make it?
