Can you elaborate please, Bazzer? I cannot find any infomation about that, anywhere. I'm not saying I don't believe you, btw

That shows how humanity should be

Iconic images. Looks like the football lads took a bit of a pasting.

There was no homophobia.

Watch out for those feminists!

Ha yeah, she likes the environment, the little idiot!

Unlike the BLM protestors who made a right old mess! Nothing from Greta about them ruining her future eh?

In the Daily Telegraph the PM has announced a cross government commission to tackle racism. Labour are already critical of his plans and there are plenty of questions to be answered about who’ll lead it, membership, remit etc; but does ‘cross government’ mean cross party? If not, I can’t see this working effectively..

The PM announced an investigation into Islamophobia within the Tory party during his campaign to be elected party leader.
Regretfully, he again reneged on his word. I doubt we'll see anything significant coming out of this either.

And we're still waiting for some reports to be published from before the General Election...

Genuine? Corroborated from other sources?

Genuinely interested, because it is unbelievably crass ignorance if she doesn't realise Churchill is dead

Just wow!

I really can't believe she is that ignorant! Anyone know how the newsreader responded? Was it an elaborate (but not very funny) spoof on Willoughby's part?

In her defence, she's been spending a lot of time speaking to Lord Nelson recently, she may not have been able to keep up with the news...

I liked "I was saying that to Gandhi the other day" one.

As part of the "agreement" forced on Khan/London by the Govt for the bailout.

Serious question. We all know that the 'ME' part of BAME stands for minority ethnic, but which elements of society are classed as ME?

Easy enough to answer, you'd think, but many Googling attempts later I'm none the wiser. Various descriptions mention 'nationality', 'culture', 'religion', even 'non-white' but it's still not clear to me which minorities are included. At least 'black' and 'Asian' are definitions you'd think you could hang your hat on, although 'Asian' in the UK has different connotations to 'Asian' in the USA where much of that sub-group are of Chinese or Korean extraction.

Here in Lincolnshire, 7% of the population is apparently BAME, but could that include ethnic groups like Poles or Lithuanians who are still here in numbers as field workers? Essentially white-skinned, but are they minority ethnic groups under BAME?

The one conclusion I have come to is that BAME definitions aren't necessarily based on skin colour.
