Whether something gets a label called racist or not, it isn't the label but the contents.

Calling Milliband Millipede doesn't say anything about his race, religion, physical or mental ability, gender or sexual orientation. It is pure satire of someone who wants to govern and by that, he needs scrutiny. Satire helps understanding by light relief.

Bringing a banana into it? Fine, assuming you mean David Milliband and the awkward photo of him with a banana.

But to remind people that someone is black?

I wondered who it was that threw bananas at John Barnes years ago..

By the way Keith. You mention Daily M*il in every single post. It doesn't necessarily mean Dacre's puerile shit, it means content worthy of his pathetic organ. By squawking that you never mentioned it doesn't mean you aren't paraphrasing it.

And Polly isn't a pretty fucking boy then.
