\'Witch\' Pardons Are A Bit Late

The pardons are a few centuries late.

It's good to see that some have reached the point of admitting the ignorance and failings of their ancestors. It would be nice though, to see admissions of our own failings and ignorance.

Ooooooh now I see it's in Scotland! When I first read the thread title, I though it would be in the Northeast USA and we'd be writing checks out to the descendants or something! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for posting that!

Re: \'Witch\' Pardons Are A Bit Late

From the article;

[ QUOTE ]

One of those descendants, graphic designer Andrew White, 39, said he was intrigued by the idea of having a potential witch in the family.

"You have to remember that in those days you could have got burned at the stake for just about anything," he said. "But I'll be trying my secret powers with the lottery next week."

White, who was told of his ancestor by the Barons Court just three weeks ago, said the community was welcoming of pardon.

I guess, then, that he'd be practicing "White" magic???


Sorry
