Not a problem, Bruce. Gawd knows I 'ave me moments meself! And I rightly had to check myself on aspects of that earlier debate.

You see we are all influenced and we all acquire 'beliefs' from a highly treacherous and worrying media-machine in this country and further afield.

Don't know if that makes sense, that's what I was trying to get across in the other thread - the causal (not a typo!) link between news, media and racism (the former two producing subconscious, unwitting and unintended if not overt racist reactions)
