ANY FOOL CAN BE BRITISH...
Everyone has to tiptoe gently when discussing race or religion, which is rather sad when one considers that this country has prided itself on freedom of speech. A presenter on BBC news, when commenting on the child sex victims of gangs in the midlands and the north stated that the guilty were of asian and North African heritage. Heritage!, heritage! No-one would dare say they were plain asian or black. However, if they were white, the term would be used without a thought to the inequality of it. Every time Stephen Lawrence is mentioned, you can bet your bottom pound that those found guilty of his murder are always described as white, and that the crime was racial. Strange how nobody comments that all the young girls used in trafficking were white, but those guilty of their abuse were merely of 'Heritage' stock!
As I always say, any fool can be British, but it takes a heck of a lot more to be English!
