Subject: RE: Shrewsbury FF to ban 'blacked up' Morris
A large photo in today's The Guardian shows a member of the 'ethnic minorities' [(daft expression) says Senoufou and Vic Smith agrees] dancing in a highly exaggerated manner at yesterday's Notting Hill Carnival. The dancer's face appears to me to be blacked up. There are three policewomen watching the dancer's antics. All three are smiling and apparantly enjoying the spectacle rather than taking appropriate action against the terpsichorian offender.
