On: The British Government should apologize to Alan Turing

[nailer]

Fair enough:

If my parents owned slaves, and I'd benefited from it, I'd like the disclaimer.

If my parents were slaves, and I'd had trouble because of that, I'd like the reparation.

I don't think either would be a racket. Ultimately it's unlikely a court would extend reparations inmto the present for an event so far in the past, although this does occasionally happen.

Umm, everybody's ancestors were slaves. I hope everyone on this board is really not that soft in the head.
