    Right, but the point is that in some circumstances it seems you can separate, to some degree, the person from the belief. And it seems to be when they are white.

    Lets not beat about the bush, I am basically saying you are a bit racist

    To be honest, p, I’m bored of that word. I’ve no idea what it means anymore. Race is an absurd distraction that we in the west have allowed to dominate debate when it doesn’t actually matter a damn.

    Now, now. People running such workshops have a right to earn a living too.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
