Hello Britain, you can stop beating yourselves up now

What a sweetie Dr John Sentamu is. The new Archbishop of York. Normally wouldn't care what goes on in the Church of England, but this man has given England a message, as reported in The Times that must go for Scotland too. More or less: "Okay, you've beaten yourselves up enough about the Empire; you can stop now."

Sometimes there's a historic moment that just takes your breath away. And this wonderful warm southern blast of forgiveness is such a moment.

It has taken black commentators to say it - Trevor Philips and now Mr Sweetie. It's all right to be proud of being English (read Scottish, etc.). So can we have Scottish history and culture taught in Scottish schools now, please, without the Labour Party recoiling in horror at the reactionariness of it all, and the politically correct biting their nails over whether they shouldn't be giving equal time to Eskimos.
