No, it's trivial whatever your skin colour is.

Tebbit comparing here to Jesus Christ





I wish she was the same as Christ, it would have meant she had never existed.

Seriously? You really think it's trivial to refer to black people as 'gollis'?

Your probably wasting your time, he's nipped out for a chinky or to the Paki shop.

Picketing is ok if it doesn't cause an obstruction or intimidation or violence. The fact that you use the word "preventing" shows your lack of democracy. Once pickets move from persuation to prevention you have stepped over the line.



I do not regard standing round a brazier as working.









What are you talking about?

So you didn't vote for 13 years?

Because people are FORCED to borrow aren't they?

This may describe your experience of working life but don't put the "vast majority of ordinary workers" into the same helpless pot as yourself.?

So why did the BP & Esso drivers go on strike for a 40% increase in 79?

Because they could

So you think this is reasonable, rational, acceptable behaviour?

I think referring to a black person as a golli is wrong, stupid, offensive and ridiculous. But this was a private conversation where I believe no black people were present.



The notion that the police should be investigating her use of the word and prosecuting her is ridiculous. There are probably 5 million crimes far more serious than this that they have to deal with. They don't have time to dealing with burglaries, robberies and muggings, but hey, the hated Prmie Minister's daughter said "Golli" and it's in the papers so let's rush in there and create a crime that we can solve. WTFever.



I think the BBC were probably right to fire her over it. I don't know what type of shows she was involved in or whether she did a good job on screen, but anyone caught using language like that is risking their job.



Do I think her using the term once gives justification to the s who are publicly celebrating Thatcher's death? No. They were going to celebrate anyway, whether Carol Thatcher was the greatest women who ever lived or just an average person with flaws. It was a lame justification.
