It's not exactly helpful to be a contrarian about every action of a government (by the way, the "English government" doesn't exist) because they haven't implemented the specifics of your personal political agenda.

The problem with being so blinded by hatred towards an entity is that you attribute malevolence to their every action and fail to consider things objectively. The government have pardoned him, the prime minister has issued an official apology, we are now celebrating him in multiple extremely prominent ways, which can only lead to more people learning about both his achievements and the injustices committed against him. Your reaction is to call that "a disgrace".
