No sh*t Sherlock. That's the whole f*cking point.
Apologising for the actions of people from another time, from another culture with completely different limitations (only a year after using chemical weapons in WW1), is pointless. Britain today has about as much responsibility for those colonial troops as Italians do with Roman outrages, apart from being from the same piece of mud as the power base in charge at the time.
In fact, seeing as General Dyer was born in India and the troops who fired where all Gurkha and Baloch (Indian), shouldn't they be apologising to themselves?
