I looked up the origin of the N-word today and, like apartheid, it seems to have something to do with the Dutch during the slave trading era. In addition to that I have recently left Nigeria after almost 5 years and got a completely new view on the people there and it is definitely very positive.

Re. PaulTyrers remark on the couple being brought up. Sounds to me that the council idiot is going to be coming up for charges as well. If the couple can prove (should be easy) that their interaction actually prevented damage and that restoring it to its "natural" condition would result in damage, then they can take the council idiot to court over willful damage or something like that.

Agreed. The David Lowe incident just reinforced the point that the BBC, amongst others, is taking this whole racist issue far too seriously.

Just went through this David Lowe story, have they become totally insane? That poor man had to apologize for a text in a song from the 30ies? The idiot that complained should find himself a job or a psychiater and the BBC management should be send to the North pole in a swimsuit to get a nice white tan! |
