Interesting that the high court has allowed a claim from those who suffered under the hands of the British colonial army in Kenya to take the case to court. I think these people were treated badly and they deserve at the very least an apology.
Evagoras Palikarides was a 17 year old student who refused to obey instructions during the days when Cyprus was a British colony to attend assembly and pay homage to the British flag, he was also accused of taking part in demonstrations (as one does at that age) and other activities. He was finally put in jail and they kept him there until he was 19 so that he could be hanged. This is of course an atrocity committed against a people who wanted to govern their own country. Should the British establishment not be apologising for that execution as well? I think they should!
