nasty

The Mirror has published a "calendar of calamities" compiled by the Labour Party that proves that the Tories are still "racist and sexist". Among their damning evidence are these examples
May 29: The leader of East Sussex county council, Peter Jones, says he is "good value for money" after receiving £91,000 in allowances and expenses in just one year.

June 24: Kidderminster Conservative councillor Mumshad Ahmed, who twice drove while disqualified, apologises after a court bans him from driving for two years.

July 7: London Assembly member Brian Coleman refuses to publicise expenses saying "only the mad, bad and the sad" wanted to see. He adds: "I'm not pandering to mob rule."

October 15: A former Mayor of Brent, councillor Bertha Joseph, is suspended after taking money intended for a charity ball and spending it on clothes.

December 7: Tory candidate for Dorset South changes his quadrupled-barrelled name, Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax, to Richard Drax on posters.

December 31: MEP Daniel Hannan says that no "sane" person would support the NHS.
6 brilliant examples of sexism and racism that absolutely nail the Tories. Well done daily Mirror for such top quality journalism.

I was about to compose a long comment - but I have to dash, I need to re-enrol in college, it seems my education is sadly lacking. How can someone of my age have got through life with a total misunderstanding of the meaning of the words 'racist' and 'sexist'??

Looks as if an emergency delivery of dictionaries is required at their offices.
