"Teribus, even the pillar of the uk establishment, Queen liz 2, has apologised to Ireland"

So has T. Blair and a whole host of others including yourself GSS - What good has it done you, them or anybody else for that matter - the old hatreds are still there unforgiven and the old myths are still trotted out.

The apologies are like wetting your pants whilst wearing a dark blue suit - it momentarily gives you a nice warm feeling but nobody takes the slightest notice and ultimately leaves you feeling rather foolish.
