Very true! We live in a country where the most racist and vile people will go about their business with a political correct shield to prevent them from saying what they mean.
Also, due to past problems we have given in to the PC brigade even though the vast majority of us are not racist or sexist or whatever "ist".. And we shy away from open discourse by trying to be polite. Which is (IMO) one of the things wrong with this country!
I would love to hear the BNP say what they only wish they could say, then we would never have to hear another politician claim the BNP are racists, as that would be very clear by their own words.
But it would also be great if none racist or bigoted people could still laugh and joke about the differences between us as a people. I see no harm in making fun of the obvious stereotypes we have as a society and then having everything in the open. One of my favorite comedians 'Chris Rock' is often making jokes about the cultural difference between black America and white America. All very funny, often telling of how bad the race situation has been over there, but something everyone should enjoy without guilt or remorse for laughing at his use of the N word..
We really should get over ourselves and learn to laugh at life a little more!
As for what you said about whoever gets into power.. I also agree! The unelected civil servants are the true rulers of this country. They just change their figures to match the elected government in power, but often they themselves have to innovate and find ways to build or maintain infrastructure in any given area..
