So what?
The Aussie PM wasn't responsible, yet he apologized on behalf of Australia. The Norwegian PM didnt ship the jews off to the Nazi's, yet he apologized for it a couple of years ago.
Symbolic actions, definitely, but very meaningful for the descendants of those who were wronged.
The Brits haven't apologized to anyone, and they need to do it.
EDIT: Also, we are talking about state actions and state responsibilities here, not individual actions or responsibilities.
