"A poll of 2000 people out of 67 million."
Opinion polls are funny things aren't they, useful when it suits our arguments, denigrated when they don't. Hope I never go on record as quoting anything bum-fodder like the Daily Mail as gospel, but this, and all the other articles linked (carefully tip-toed around by all here) are indications of the extent of racism in Britain today - no more. 88,000 schoolchildren accused of racism at school is enough to bring the bile to my throat.
"the genocide against amerindians arficans and irish ruined england."
O's somewhat inarticulate posting was a clumsy attempt to compare American and British racism - isn't that what Keith has been demanding since racism became the subject here?
I disassociate myself from the Irish comment, though I shouldn't have to given my track record.
I wouldn't have put Don down as a scoring-points-by-pointing-out-typos man, but there you go; it takes all sorts....
Off to Dublin
