Your role, as the descendant of a bigoted people, is not to pardon an innocent man but to *apologise* for ever having prosecuted him.
@timharbour Yeah, he did, in 2009. Just can't stand the pomposity of ‘the royals’. A pardon, indeed. Pardon them.

@aral@timharbour If a time machine existed then maybe someone could go back and stop the conviction? It's not possible so a pardon issued. -
