But I was hauled over the coals by my (stupid,incompetent boss) because my summary included a quote from a chap who said "There just aren`t enough of us coloured guys"
Coloured??!!! -The term is black and you should have said that.
I just replied-I don`t miss quote-that`s not the way I do things
Being a quote, you certainly were correct.
That said he may have wanted you to quote someone with the correct way for the country of origin but should have said that and I assume he didn't.
We spell the word colored but went along with yours. These are all cultural differences, as I see it. and to be excused if you are in a different country than your own. That is all I was trying to point out.

Today's news about Law - the "high heid yins" want him back!! I say jail him! He defrauded the tax payer and should pay for it. So much for all their bleatings about the Labour twits that did wrong over the past couple of years - pot calling the kettle black!

Re: Another scandal
A journalist from the Daily Mail on News24 said today he deserves prosecuting . . according to him it was out and out fraud . . as you say Rose the new government are a bunch of two faced doubled standard gits . . when it's one of their golden boys they want to forgive and forget . . how on earth can Laws expect to carry on in public service ? . . I say this not because of his sexuality but because he's a fraudster.

NeroOne point...
Laws job was to save as much money as he could and we as a nation can on the whole see that we have to.
Trouble is his succeser is a Scot(forgot name) and Scotlands money is ring fenced for a year.
So we have a Jock(no racist slur intended) making us English suffer for the good of all of Britian while the Scots dont have to suffer/contribute to help save us.
Bring back Laws at least he English(slur intended)
