Thanks to Eric for this link to a BBC slideshow of a ceremony commemorating the 200th anniversary of the end of slavery in the British Empire being interrupted by an activist demanding an actual apology and reparations. Apparently a ceremony in which the Queen lays a wreath at the feet of a statue of a white man is not enough. [The nerve.]
