The Race Relations Boards ...

[Dayvo]

... has warned the major TV broadcasting companies that foreigners and people from ethnic minorities and backgrounds are not portrayed enough on prime-time television.

The BBC has responded to this criticism by promising to broadcast Crimewatch twice a week!

ouch!

I think the age of that joke can be gauged by the fact the Race Relations Board ceased to exist with the passing of the Race Relations Act in 1976.

Might have seemed funny back then.

That will have nothing to do, of course, with deflecting recent personal criticism of Trevor Phillips' lack of effective leadership?

Still, his future will be ok. He also owns a commercial company which advises employers on equality issues. No hint of conflict or trading on his connections, naturally...

Yeah, I thought there was more than a hint of mildew about this one!

Yeah, well I hadn't heard it before, even though I perhaps should have done!

Made me chuckle (a little bit!), though.

Made me chuckle a bit too as I hadn't heard it before either! So thanks Dayvo!

Glad to see the young gang of thugs in Eastenders are all black so that should help.

Isn't the point of Eastenders the fact that they are all thugs; calling out one group would be like the pot calling the kettle...
