An apology now will for something done 100 years ago will not make the pommies liable to pay anything to anyone. Canada has the moral strength to apologise and hence is a much stronger nation than England. 

It took Canada nearly 100 years to apologise and even then it was a fairly Liberal Prime Minister ans party, every country has their own demons, it's just that in this case England has more than most.

Even Australia did not give a full apology for it's treatment for it's aboriginals. 

Giving apology means showing weakness and it means ceding ground. 

It won't happen.

I think one of the British prime ministers apologized during their visit to India, think it was David Cameron.

He got a lot of flack from goreh on social media, they were saying why did he appologize for something their ancestors did

No British PM has apologised for the massacre yet.

Yes, correct. Cameron sort-of commiserated with Sikhs, and admitted what happened was shameful, but stopped short of an apology. I think they call it "lawyer speak" where instead of outright stating, "I'm sorry for what we did" they phrase it as, "I'm sorry you feel such pain" thereby the onus is thrown onto the aggrieved party, lol. It's very devious but it's done to avoid any unnecessary legal entanglements.
