Gay men are to be pardoned for "offences" that now no longer exist. I can understand the gentleman in the clip who wants an apology rather than a pardon. However is possible to apologise for something that the present govenment did? It's possible to feel sorry that he went through such an unfair ordeal, but is it impossible to apologise on the behalf of dead people.

I don't think that gay men should have to accept a pardon as such. Their criminal record should be erased without the person needing to ask.
