As someone with both Roman and Norman ancestry could I take this opportunity to apologise for the sins visited upon the world by my ancestors under the Roman Imperium and also for the dreadful excesses committed by my family during and following the Norman Conquest....with special apologies to the people of Durham and and the peoples of the Earldom of Buchan and the Manor of Badenoch


IT'S ALL MY FAULT AND I AM SO DREADFULLY SORRY


I know that neither I nor my ancestors deserve forgiveness. We were, and probably still are, a bunch of hopeless imperialist sh*ts, obsessed with domination, oppression and profiteering. I will, tactfully, omit to mention the benefits that occupation brought to this country. Benefits which are still enjoyed to this day, some sixteen hundred years after the collapse of the Roman empire and nearly a thousand years after the Conquest - I do not wish to add denying anyones victimhood to the catalogue of crimes my family is heir to.

I leave the question of suitable reparations to be discussed amongst our victims, their heirs and assigns.


Ridiculous post? Ridiculous subject!
