Well I reckon she's been mis-quoted. As another in the Jonothan Woss bracket who mis-pronounces her r's as w's, I think she said Golly Rog over Roger Federer's recent defeat.

The hypocrisy and double standards of the BBC is quite breathtaking. She gets sacked for an off air remark yet Jonathan Ross is allowed back to continue effing & blinding ON air and still keep his job. Jo Brand was also apparently offended....pot calling kettle comes to mind.The lunatics have taken over the asylum I'm afraid!!

According to some of the papers today in the UK she was referring to Andy Murray who last time i looked is certainly not black, must be his hair style or something.



Her mother didnt like us Scots much either, must be a family thing some kind of genetic throw back to Edward the first possibly!!!

I will not be watching the show again Adrian Chiles and Jo Brand probably the ones reporting Carole, I wonder what the reaction would have been if a black person had called Carole a Barbie.

So why is blackmail allowed?

Are blackboards banned?

Do blacklists no longer exist?

Can you still buy black pudding?



Ridiculous!

Completely OTT and full of pc ness. This country is supposed to allow free speak,and like many things brought over from the States it is a flawed concept.



No wonder there are so many problems in this world - same wet thinking of not smacking kids or banning caning from schools brigade.



Mohammed Ali makede fun of this topic in the 1970's as noted above ,but it was in jest



- he said why was everything bad - black; and everything good - white?



- Bad guys in weterns always wore black..... lone ranger the good gut... rode a white horse.



- Snowhite was white.Characters are as clean as drivenwhite snow



- you are the black sheep of the family



- we have blackmail .... can I whitemail you etc etc



Good stuff,and god bless America/Obama/Enoch Powell/and anyone else who can bring some common sense back. cheers,Steve

Immigration into the uk is un checked unless you are a white south african farmer or Gurkha that has served your country then you are not wanted.



But if you are a one legged lesbian Muslim from Albania it is ok to come as you will be an asset to the loons that will then employ a social worker to tend to you needs, appoint a dentist for you, register you with a gp. make arrangements for a prosthetic leg sign you up to a lesbian dating agency employ a translator for you and by you a top of the range pc so you can set up a scam to filch more money from the system.



Oh and if by some chance you British and served your country and paid your taxes are still in the uk and need care and still own your own home then you must sell it other wise you will be a burden on the state.



Its a funny old world aint it.
