When has calling Thomas the tank engine and Snow White racist increased racist figures?Since the PC brigade decided to use them as examples of racism.

I’m stumped BB. Which bit of that was PC?
I once used to work with a bloke who used to flip out about PC and PC culture. He also once flipped out about a feel-good news piece on the telly where an Indian family living in Britain would celebrate Christmas with a traditional Christmas dinner, except with curried sprouts. He kicked off because they "weren't respecting the culture". Funny how that seems to work.
What's the point in providing evidence when it is simply disregarded by the people who it is aimed at? I suggest you stay happy in your sad little world of self-righteousness and ignore what's really going on.

Is that fair?Is it fair if I said anyone strongly opposing such agencies is a bigot? Probably not..Well why else would you want to work for such an organisation?It's like saying you were a member of the SS but weren't really a Nazi.Why would someone want to work for such an organisation? Because they want to promote equality! As you seem to like analogies, to label everybody who works for such an organisation would be like labelling every Millwall supporter a thug.

Back to the header. Given this morning's news, it looks like he ought to apologise to his wife and kids. In fact he should make a double apology to the daughter he named Lara Lettice.
James O'Brien got it spot on today. He assumes it's only a matter of time before Rees-Mogg announces that Johnson is unfit to be PM. Rees-Mogg makes a point about how he rejects homosexuality and abortion because of his Catholicism. Presumably he'll have the same moral outrage about a serial adulterer?
