Ex-Tory MP apologizes for ancestors' links to slavery
mercredi 6 septembre 2023 à 23:31Bad mistake: *Ex-Tory MP apologises for ancestors' links to slavery.*
You should never apologize for things others have done for which you are not responsible.
Aside from that, what she did was proper. She acknowledged the ancestors' actions, which had been unknown to her until a historian dug them up in old records, and she denounced them. That is the right thing for anyone to do who has as little responsibility for those actions as she has.
It is horrible that people have made death threats against her for things someone else did long ago. Advocating Tory policies entails moral responsibility for them (though not for slavery hundreds of years ago), but it doesn't justify threats of violence.
