Apparently his Dad is now getting it in the neck as he has a mate who they refer to as Sooty.. You would think with the various wars,global economic meltdown etc the papers would have something better to write about.

No they don't.
The Titanic is sinking, yet some people have nothing better to do than moan that the handrails need a lick of paint.

I have concluded ...

a) There's mass psychosis going around these days
b) We are being led by a bunch of 2nd rate, politically correct, bury their head in the sand, let's ignore reality and drum up some utterly ridiculous campaign to bang on about, W**NKERS.
c) The media print absolute SH**E, and nobody questions it.

What has happened to this nation?

Where did all the f**kwits appear from, and why are they in positions of power, and who is buying the newspapers?

Let's not forget that the greatest daily media event is DEAL OR NO DEAL, which involves no more more skill than being able to select a pile of boxes to discard. Strategy my A*SE !!!

Right well, here goes and I'm sure I'll be hit from all sides with condemnation but what the Hell is all this doing taking up the first SEVEN minutes of the world news? As far as I'm concerned, it is PC gone absolutely mad. I am no fan of the Royal Family and racism is a terrible disease but a 'Paki' is surely an abbreviation of 'Pakistani' and is used in the same way as 'Brit', 'Scot' and 'Aussie' - should I be screaming "Racism!" from the sassenach rooftops each and every day my workmates and pals call me a Jock or even - shock horror!- a Scot?

And Ionns, you hypocrite, you have used that word on more than one occasion on this forum so how come you are all awash with moral indignation now?

Awash with moral indignation, I love that line. Sometimes it's not the word itself, rather how and where in context - that particular word is used. Interesting to note, how everyone has left out the term raghead. That must have been an uncomfortable SEVEN minutes for you girl, however the prominence or otherwise, of the news slot - isn't really the point is it?

For some ( excluding yourself girl ) A wee bit akin to being caught between a rock and a hard place. The Royal Family versus Racism. A one good, one bad type dilemma. It must be difficult to defend a monarchy on one hand, and democracy in the other.
All those flag waving, God save the Queen Brits crying foul, blaming those ghastly red tops. I mean what would you prefer the Hamas Palestinian victory, costly yes - however a victory nonetheless.
Of course we Scots, are a bunch of mean selfish misers - but hey sticks and stones. All in good fun no offense intended Jock.
Raghead.

Don't know why others didn't refer to it but the reason I didn't mention the term 'raghead' is because I had never heard that term used EVER! I still don't know what it means - so it definitely wasn't uncomfortable for me Ionns.

Then feel free to use it when you need some justification in future posts

No, British is a collection of races - predominately the English and Celts races.

I think that"raghead"refers to the choice of head gear.
