Tonight on BBC4 at 9pm is the first part of a history of British whaling. Of all aspects of British history, after involvement in the slave trade, I have most contempt for those who made a fortune out of the cruel and disgusting whale trade. My contempt reaches new heights when I read about the continuing present-day involvement in whaling of Japan, Norway and Iceland. So are the BBC right to bring up Britain's involvement in this vile trade? I think probably they are. Probably better to face up to the horrors of you country's past than try and ignore it. Do you agree?
