How true. They still operate a caste system in India and it must be the only 'third world country' that is a nuclear power, and one we Brits send millions in aid to every year. Totally corrupt and definately not a country to do business with.

mad phil would insist on "person of non-colour" I'm sure!!

England, my England
Goodbye to my England, so long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.
The French and the Germans may call themselves such
So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say you're English ever again.
At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too
Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told
They must not teach children about England of old.
Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils don't learn about them anymore
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons?
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.
We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away, over the sea
We're the English from England, let's all be proud
Stand up and be counted............shout it out loud!
Let's tell our Government and Brussels too
We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know....WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!

great comment. i completely agree with the way you satirically say we (ALL people) should call people who are not white "non whites". people of colour, which somehow isnt an "insult", decide arbitrarily what is hurtful and what is fine so i do agree in the sense that "non white" cannot, by their rules, be an insult, with the irony being that in south africa that is how they defined the people who were not white in a way that was truly racist..
of course so many people who are non whites are definitely not black, so for black people to decide that "coloured" is an insult on behalf of brown people and yellow people doesnt make sense and is further proof that black people have basically a monopoly on racist victimhood while at the same time are treated like they are incapable of racism themselves which is definitely not true.
in interracial interactions browns/blacks are treated as the experts on the subject and white people have to follow the rules the same way women set the rules on intersex freindships.
ill say finally that i dont feel sorry for anyone for the skin or hair colour, that includes albinos and red heads, and i find it interesting that white people cant have their feeling hurt race wise so why black people are so easily "hurt" isnt really a non black problem is it?

The BBC apparaently received 'over' one hundred compliants ... gee, that was a decisive majority of viewers ... golly gosh ...

Who says he was referring to black players. He could have meant yellow players, brown players or green players. In fact white is also a colour though I always thought a sort of pinky orange describes it better,

And...btw I thought golly was another offensive word.

or Tippex ...

OK, so, if you see an IC3 committing some illegal act against an IC1, you should summon an IC0 ..??

Game, set and Match ...

Unfortunately, you are a product of the tree-hugging, lentil-eating society that we live in ... some of us have brains and use them regularly ...
