(several media sources are running with this, but the above link is the origin)

are the accusations levelled at Mr Javid racist? or fair comment?

Thanks to Jackdaw I think I've just worked out what BAME means, is it 'Black And Ethnic Minority'? Funny old me, going along thinking about people............

This reminds me why I don't 'do' Twitter.

Apropos of Ms. Abbott, why does she sound not only as though English is not her first language, but that she has just tried to compose herself after a twenty-five minute crying fit?

[Old_Geezer]

So folk who self identify with this "BAME" are to be concerned only with one thing and are betrayers of other "BAME" members otherwise ? Idiocy.

Precisely. Blacks and Asians are minority ethnic groups in this country (for the moment at least) so why the special mention?
