    Again, B, stop making stuff up.

    I don't have a dog in this fight. I hate them all. Basically, they should make me and my missus dictator cos everyone else is a cünt.
    You clearly missed the 'It is said...' part of the quote.

    In other words, he is framing it in the way that the Queen (in this representation of her) is supposed to perceive and think of these people.

    And the next paragraph goes on to do exactly what I described.

    "They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird."

    The language that is used is very deliberately designed to be anachronistic and deliberately harks back to the language and attitudes of the colonial era in order to mock both them and Blair for apparently revelling in them - 'big white chief', 'big white bird', etc.

    It's clumsily done and probably ill-advised, but it doesn't make the writer a racist.

    Context, nuance, intent - none of these things matter when all you want to do is have a go at someone, though, do they?

    That makes you a bit of a cünt, too, I'm afraid. I'm sure your missus is very nice, though.
