Are you saying she's been punished enough?

What's with the dot?
Quote: Mike Greybloke @ February 4 2009, 9:28 PM GMTNot sure what you're on about with any of that.
As scriptwriters, we can use our imagining skills to come up with what Carol Thatcher is most likely to have said, based on the information we've been given. My guess is this:
"That chap reminds me of the golliwog they used to have on jam jars when I was a little girl."
That's the politest, least offensive version I can come up with. She may have said "looks like" or "is the spitting image of" rather than "reminds me of". Doesn't matter. She used the word "golliwog" to refer to a black guy.
Now, she might have been referring to his red tailcoat, his bright yellow shirt with big buttons and his cute little white bow tie -- but seeing as he'd just been playing tennis I somehow f**king doubt it.
Good God. You're just as obnoxious as you evidently believe she is.
Quote: Graham Bandage @ February 5 2009, 12:08 AM GMTOn the one hand, it seems a bit unfair to sack her for saying something in a private conversation. On the other hand, she did say, in the year 2009, that a black man looked like a golliwog. So it's finely balanced.
And you.
Quote: roscoff @ February 4 2009, 11:58 PM GMTGolliwog. Hilarious. As a kid I used to collect them. I think I was a plantation owner in a former life. I love it when they turn up on the Antiques Roadshow and you watch the 'expert' twisting and turning just to be politically correct. Now if she'd called him a 'nigger' and started throwing cotton at people I could understand it. I always find it most odd that black people call each other 'nigger' but if you call a blackboard a...well... blackboard you will be shot. As for Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep. Don't get me started.

Feeling's mutual, Aaron, believe me.
Aaron is I suspect the guy who would have had a "Free the Aristocrats," banner at the foot of the guilotine. It's quite useful and almost admirable to have some one who's always the devil's advocate.

Nigga, purlease!
Hey that's racist! And surely as a Jew it'd be Jewda or Yidda?
Besides agreement is dull and I'm quite secure that outside of liking rubbish sitcoms and grammar. Aaron virtually never types what he's actually thinking.
Sorry didn't realise there was another thread on it, but I liked my comment that I'm going to copy and paste it into this one:
Opinions on this please? I think Carol showed her true colours here and what she said was totally wrong. And this stupid comment her agent has said that the BBC should apologise because they have no business reporting what is said behind closed doors, which is bollocks isn't it as Carol is quite clearly in the wrong here. At least Prince William, no matter how wrong it was what he said, had the decency to come out and apologise for it and whilst it still doesn't make things alright, you can respect William a bit, but for Carol to come out and have a pop at the BBC is quite simply ridiculous. And the fact that some people have said that Jonathan Ross got away without being sacked, the fact is what Ross said wasn't really offensive anyway when you consider the girl he was having a pop at (she was in a band called Sluts for heavens sake) whereas what Thatcher said was incredibly offensive.

And on that note, it's a no brainer.
eh?
