Very well, Britain!!!!!!

The Prime Minister has apologised on behalf of the nation for Britain’s role in sending thousands of children overseas until the late 1960s.
At a reception in Westminster, Gordon Brown told a group of former child migrants “welcome home, you are with friends”.
He announced that a £6 million Family Restoration Fund will be set up to support costs for former child migrants who wish to be reunited with their families.
In the post-war era, more than 8,000 children were shipped to Australia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Canada. Most were told they would be placed in foster families but many ended up being poorly treated on farms and in religious institutions.
