Constance Briscoe one of Britain's first Black Judges, spoke a lot of sense on last night's Question Time, regarding some unemployed.

But what I did later notice was her need to refer to the advantage of being a 'White over 50 man', and then later the other non-white panellist Mehdi Hasan, made the remark, that unlike Constance he had no wish to be a 'White over 50 man' or words to that effect.

No one has made any complaints about the need to bring colour or age (for that matter) into the debate on TV personalities, but if the roles had been reversed there would have been an almighty outburst.

I think her point was that he didn't complain because of his race/colour.
Whereas the black girl immediately used the race card to complain .
I thought that was obvious.
