your parents were never a slave so you don't know how it feels, britain should definitely apologise for slavery..........the implication of not appologising for wrongs done can be seen in the recent events of northern ireland. It is only right to appologise for slavery.

No one can say that slavery was a good thing, but why should we apologise for our history? Slavery has always been around, but so has war. Should we apologise for every war, every murder, every mistake? No, the past is past, it can't be changed so lets accept it and move on. These campaigners should do something useful and concentrate on stopping modern day slavery, rather than being offended and blaming us for our ancestors mistakes.

How can we apologise in 2008 for something that took place over 200 years ago? Lets leave history where it belongs, in the past.

Apologise for what? I was not born until 1952 and had nothing to do with slavery.
