However back in my home town, a small Welsh village where 99% (my estimate) of people are white, it's very much wasted and certainly not representative. Don't get me wrong, it's not a massive thing but for once the Mail kind of has a point.
Must be me then because I never even noticed..let alone thought to comment about it..and I suggest that the vast majority didn't notice either..or more to the point didn't actually care until the Daily Fail pointed it out.
