Subject: RE: BS: Britain's shame of slave trade.
Of course we are daily awaiting an apology and generous compensation from the UK government to compensate us for the highland clearances.
The houses burnt and destroyed will be rebuilt, and restored along with their land, to the original owners and tenants, while the owners of the large estates will either be forced to live on them all the year round, or the estate will be confiscated and given to their tenants free of charge.
The highland clearances caused so much social, physical and psychological damage, along with an anti English sentiment among the native Scots population.
This righting of past wrongs will of course immediately restore the Scots love of the English, and all previous slights, and insults like using us as guinea pigs for the Poll Tax will be totally forgotten!
I thought that I'd throw this in while we were in the mood for rewriting history!
