Bludall, that fine. I also have a few words that I don't use and I cringe when I hear them so I just ignore it and move on, as I can imagine you do.

Yes, the BNP have a lot to answer for and one or two of the leaders should be banned from politics for their extreme beliefs

Graham Taylor - English football manager - just google!

Agree with your other comments.

get real here.

Paki is used as a racist term, dirty paki, paki b*stard etc etc

All the racists (who are also stupid) use the word paki as a racist term against anyone who has asian brown skin.

Surely this is a fact ?

"Paki" even though is shortened for Pakistani; it has been over used by racists and is seen as a insulting term.

there was a point when anyone not white would be called a "paki". no point in trying to paint a different picture.... we all know the score!

but you have to look at it this way; our armed forces are under manned... many are leaving and less are signing up. in that video you have a pakistani/british lad serving queen and country in Afghanistan which is next door to Pakistan and shares alot of history with it. i can guarantee you that lad gets alot of grief from within his community but has he walked out? no he's there and we need more like him.

then you get the sorry excuse of a prince (whom i find extremely racist) taking the p!ss.... how many Pakistani's will sign up after hearing that from the family they are supposed to be serving?

a person with such responsibility should be tactful or stay out of public limelight. my respect for the monarchy is ever decreasing!

Anyone know the difference

England is part of Britain, our country being made up of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland & Wales
The Union Flag is made up of Andrew, Patrick & George.
The Irish no longer fly the St Patrick Flag on St Patricks Day prefering instead the Tricolour

So if I put British, I could be Scottish, Irish, Welsh or English
