poor sod or other, on the grounds that it was carried out, pre todays generation of over sensitive bed wetters ?
I'm pretty sure the term Racist ( in today's context ) can be levelled at anyone unfortunate enough to be born before 1980. :shrug:

What I find it particularly odd that they should be so scathing about the Empire. How exactly do Riddi Viswanathan and Sara Khan think they ended up here?Quote:
