Letter: I want compensation for the Viking invasion

Letter: The Prime Minister blames the British Empire for many of the world's problems.

Oh, here is another one. Using our distant past to dirty our country.

I vote we should be reimbursed from Rome because they invaded us and forced us to stop being pagans. They forced their religion on us and killed those who wouldn't conform and made slaves of thousands of us.

I vote we should be reimbursed by France because William the Conqueror invaded us and made slaves of our people.

I vote we should be reimbursed by the Viking nations because they raped and pillaged our towns and cities.

Shall I go on?

Cameron needs to get off his "world knees" and look to the good of this country — not cover his badly-judged remarks by using our money to save his butt.
