It is genuinely unfair that the book was banned from being entered in the competition on that basis, just as it's now unfair that these well-meaning idiots, by the Law of Unintended Consequences, have simply handed more ammunition to those who despise the very people they set out to protect.

I thought it was not banned from the contest but just not entered into the short list? Although you are right in that every incident like his simply furthers the causes of anti-islamic groups

More muck from Littlejohn, this time about the Bus Goth incident referred to earlier in this thread, oddly enough:

My Geordie mate, Black Mike, would take one look at her in her absurd "Goth" outfit and remark: "Gi' us a stick and I'll kill it."

Nice choice of mates there, Richard. Let us all be aware of this - the kind of people who will use the BECTA shortlist row as an excuse for bigotry and racism will similar use *anything* that deviates from their narrow norm to push their agenda, which could be you, your neighbours, your sexuality, your family, your religion, anything. This is not only anti-British (in the sense that harmless deviance and weirdness is a national tradition), it's sowing the seeds of Fascism.

However, I'm confident that we'll carry on getting 'PC brigade' rubbish on here as we always have. If anyone knows a better way of stopping it than reasoned argument, feel free to try. I might borrow Black Mike's stick and see if that's any better.

Private Eye this week serialises extracts from Nick Davies' forthcoming book on the press 'Flat Earth News' in which he interviews an ex-policeman and an ex-Mail journalist who told him that the Mail routinely hands over money to bent coppers and civil servants for information from the PNC and benefits databases. That's patriotic stuff, eh? Upholding British standards, and all that.

This extract is far more shocking, well, shocking if you didnt expect it from the Mail :dozey:
