An apology too far? Check out the reason.

Prime ministers have made irrelevant grovelling apologies for all sorts of stuff in the past. But apologizing to Arthur Scaregill for not letting him cripple the country on behalf of miners at grossly subsidized pits would be . . . the pits. Especially as it’s just an attempt by the Labour party to distract attention from how well the Tories are repairing the disaster which New Labour inflicted on the British economy. Dave the Leader needs to administer a severe clip round the ear to the agitators and tell them to get lost and stay lost.
