Carol Thatcher Should Not Have Been Sacked
The whole obsession with racism has become ridiculous and even sinister. Now people are losing their jobs because of supposedly racist remarks they may have made in private conversations. If everyone lost their jobs who had ever in their life made some private remark which might be construed as racist, unemployment in Britain would be around 40 million.

I don't care for Carol Thatcher one bit but I see the underlying point here and agree with Hidel. Let's just all calm down a little and stop getting so shocked and trying to out liberal one another.

What did she say and to whom and in what context? So it was a bit racist, so she is a bit of a posh idiot, I forgive her. It wasn't even on air and it's not as if she went into some hate filled racist rant.

Hidel is dead right and I would like to hear why those on the other side think he is wrong when he says that everyone would be out of a job if they got sacked for saying something out of place that could be considered racist in a private conversation. Also if we are to use the same standards that this case sets name me one comedian that would still be on the BBC. Remember they can not have ever said anything negative about any nation or race. Certainly not that unfunny cow Joe Brand that offends so many but BBC keeps employing that was probably the one who instigated this.

I can't imagine Carol Thatcher saying what she was accused of saying, but it was right to sack her if she did.
