What is it with politicians pompously apologizing for things they didn't have anything to do with.
It makes me gag.
Here is Gordon Brown apologizing for the Empire Settlement Act of 1922, passed nearly fifty years before he was born under which homeless and orphaned children were resettled in the colonies, including New Zealand.
And for some of them it worked out fine, for others life remained hard. Would it be any different if they had remained in Britain?
Reality check, no government can provide an idyllic childhood for every child and life is unfair. Very Unfair!
Political posturing at its worst.
