""I note that Don has not been back to justify his claim that the translation was 'inaccurate'.""

Inaccurate insofar as it represents the very worst kind of cherry picking, well beloved of our minority of racea nd gender bigots.

It is a sentence, the proper meaning of which is obscured by the absence of the whole textual context from which it has been ripped, and even thyen it is not a verbatim translation of the original words.

In other words its genuine meaning has been twisted, either by the man who is reported to have said it or, quite possibly, by him who reported (politicians both).

As to why I have not been back before, to answer, I seem to recall I once had occasion to defend your right actually to have a life outside of Mudcat, eh Mike?
