When I was a kid at school, there used to be another kid who's parents came over form the west indies, we used be on the same bus together, he wasn't a mate but at first we used talk to each other, later he becam a bit of a bully, and made my life difficult at school, but that is by the by. His name was Norman Joseph, anyway one day on the bus in Acton, we were coming down the stairs to alight when a Sikh kid was getting on, as this boy was getting on NJ said to me loudly " I don't know why this country is letting all these Indians into this country" . This was round anout the time Idi Amin was kicking everyone out of the country.
Even then, when I did not know what irony meant, the irony was not lost on me. 40 odd years later NJ received an OBE for services to the music industry.
I don't really have point other than that nothing has changed, and one should live and let live.
