    In this new age of diversity that Britain now finds itself in, I was heartened to read today that the National Front, BNP and the EDL have got together to have a float in this years Notting Hill Carnival, now that what I call 'getting on'.

    So a re-run of the coloured version should be alright then?




    Amazing to think this was still being shown up til 1978 and caused no one to faint, except at the shocking wardrobe horrors and dad dancing.
    Warning, this post contains some flash photography.

    I guess it's less likely to get fire-bombed in Michigan.

    be more concerned with your character than your reputation, for your character is what you really are....whilst your reputation is merely what others think you are.

    Does the museum have a Scottish section? Should have I suppose, as it was a gentleman of Scots decent that formed the KKK .

    No comparison whatsoever. Black people were hung, subjected to slavery and had to fight to get the right to vote and suffered all sorts of indignities and still do. Margaret Thatcher is not a victim she was an abuser of the British people. She ruined British culture and did nothing positive for this country. Look at the mess we are in now.

    Jarrod must be busy at work if he's posting on The Mail as well as here...
    I didn't know Jarrod was mad for Baroness Thatcher! At least she freed the Bennies?

    Is the £5 taxable?
    Everyone deserves a second chance, except those who try to shaft me and fail.

    Is that true? I quite liked it when it was shown on public TV here in the 1980s. Tom Baker really chewed up the scenery in his deerstalker cap and Louise Jamison was quite tasty with her knife. I've seen DVDs of this episode for sale so it can't be too offensive.
