100 years ago today.

Not quite sure why the Turkish today won't own up to it and move on.

Because the Turkish today had nothing to do with it.

Why has everyone got to be seen to apologise for historical s*** that is nothing to do with now.

By that logic the UK Establishment today should not bother taking responsibility by prosecuting Yewtree crimes that were committed under earlier regimes and has nothing to do with them.

Not at all, they're going after those who committed the offences rather than their relatives 100 years down the line.

How long do you actually go back for these 'state' apologies ??

If so - I am soooooo there...

Recent studies indicate that not much of this actually went on on account of the Vikings tended to take their families with them......a tit-bit remembered from a recent documentary although i can remember not which one....

I imagine Helga as a huge and imposing blonde lady well aware of what goes on on these 'boys bonding trips' and resolute that her and wee Rolf will be coming!
