I think the bottom line is, the British Government colluded in slavery and racism as recent as 1967, and I understand even then, there was official Whitehall unease about the policy, as is seen here. But, it should not be mealy mouthed politicians making five minute speaches whilst shedding crocodile tears as though they actually care, but resolve being made to hunt down the rubber stampers and all others involved and hold them accountable for their actions. Some of the organisations involved include Barnados, the childrens home, and the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church apparently apologised eight years ago for it's past actions with slave children, my, it must have had a guilty conscience. As for the survivors of this travesty of care and justice, like another said, find them, and record their experiences, and if anyone living is guilty, make their life hell, as despite what they may say, apologies and all, they still hold their memories of the pleasures they sought and gained. Politicians, less apologising, and more doing would be the order of the day.
