This is the issue of whose perspective. Sure enough British history can take its own marking points about what is important, but surely this needs further consideration given the subject.
Just cause a few black faces have put their names to the bill and one say they have 'consulted' don't make it acceptable. The DEBATE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN HAD.!!!
