I just happen to think that it doesn't bode well for us as a nation when somebody previously seen espousing racist filth on national TV can become the poster girl for "bravery" almost overnight courtesy of her publicist.

That's somewhat OTT isn't it? What did she say? All I heard was that she called the Indian actress 'Biryani'. It's hardly 'Mein Kampf' is it? Calm down FFS.

Look on the bright side - at least her kids will grow up not being taught how to be a racist numbskull. Unfortunately, I suspect they will be well trained in terrorising taxi drivers with knives...

That actually does prompt the question about the kids, she is saying all the money for these TV "specials" is to be put in trust for the kids, so I assume the jailbird thug Tweed is seeing none of it ?? as Jeff Brazier is the father ?

If she has been given good financial advice then I guess that there must be some trust funds set up for the kids to cover schooling, and for a legacy for when the reach majority.

Completely agree.

Prince Harry was guilty of worse and that has all been forgotten. I'm sure Ahmed Khan and he had a good laugh about the whole incident down at Boujis afterwards.

I'm not saying that she's the Antichrist, just an extremely poor choice of person to now be held up as some kind of heroine or role model.

As for as the actual racial content of her comments, she has admitted herself that they crossed the line:

I know that the most regrettable comments (all Indians are malnourished, she wants to be white, etc) were made by others, but if your response is to burst out laughing in support of them then there's more than a little complicity there, don't you think? My use of the word "espouse" was a deliberate choice - it can describe support for something with or without having actually stated it oneself.

Get off your high horse, the thin air up there's making you talk bollocks. Did you enjoy 'Soul Time' on the Derek & Clive records incidentally?

Enlighten me - it which parallel universe are Derek & Clive portrayed as role models rather than, in their own parlance, a pair of ****ing *****? That's not the limit of my depravity though - I'm also a fan of the Alf Garnett character.

'Soul Time' was a blatantly racist skit, as was 'Bo Dudley', and as you seem to regard a throwaway comment that could be construed as racist as a bigger crime than child murder, it surprises me that you would choose D&C as your avatar. Alf Garnett was obviously a character designed to show racists as ignorant fools, so that doesn't really surprise me.

No fan of either Naps, just don't see why the jug-eared half German/half Greek twonk that is our future King shouldn't take some of the blame.

why do you have to be so racist? why do you feel you need to judge someone on there race and there looks?
is this some dull anti german dig that you want to make? I think your living in the stone ages, whos next on your list? Boris Becker? klinsman? people have forgiven and forgotten over the last 60 years its just a shame that you cant to.....

and as for digging someone out because they have got big ears? a fat belly?? big nose? whats that all about? do the train drivers give you a wink everytime they pass your little signal box because your so damn good looking?
