Today's bash

This is a quote from today's Sun newspaper:

" SHILPA Shetty’s performance on Celebrity Big Brother has been hailed as a turning point in defeating racism.

The stunning Bollywood star beat her tormentors Jade Goody and Jo O’Meara to a place in the final.

Now the Indian actress looks set to become the nation’s sweetheart after she dealt with racism and bullying with good grace and humour."


Am I the only one to have blood that curdles when I read this insincere tripe? What are 60 million people doing tolerating this hypocrisy?

First off we have heard endlessly up to now that the British multicultural approach had created a harmonious society. Especially during the troubles in the French suburbs. Did anyone believe that?

Then of course the Sun never ceases to exploit the bigoted, nasty vicious goings on of BB to sell more newspapers.

Now we get this humbug.

A respectable nation wouldn't put up with it. Is every Englishman so attached to commercial gain that they are prepared to turn their head away from profiteering out of racism?

Multiculturism was an experiment worth trying, but is sadly not working as hoped. Even Trevor Phillips, Chairman of the Race Equality Commission has recognized that - a brave admission - saying it is responsible for breeding separatism.

Richard - you have no idea how disappointed you have made me. You read the Sun and follow goings on the Big Brother house? Oh dear, you have come a lot less far than I thought.

Roger the Sun is England. How can I write in an informed and knowledgeable manner of my home country if I don't keep a breast of things.
