    Also the germans are still paying for their attrocities against jews. I don't see why the British case is any different. Also this incident happened after the Holocaust. The British are guilty the same way they have been peddling African dictators and war criminals at the ICC. They need to lead by example accept your crimes.

    I would live to see the report. The Mau Mau committed atrocities against whites and black Kenyans. Imbibed disgusting concoctions which people were made to drink whilst mouthing oaths to kill and torture white farmers, which they did when the opportunity arose.
