Jimbo,

Blatant racism? Perhaps we should all join the politically correct mob. A few examples. Poufter - A person of sexual preferences towards their own sex. (don't mention the word gay -the way it is used is a corruption of the original meaning). Raghead - a person who, for probably religious or national reasons, wears a piece of cloth held on by a band as headgear.

Perhaps we didn't ought to be using terms like Scouse, Geordie, Cockney, Moosh etc.

Regarding the thread. How can that possibly be construed as racist? In fact, I have just written to my M.P. asking her whether this is a fact and various other connected questions. When I receive a reply it will be posted on this site.

Finally, in my nine years at sea and subsequently I have found the M.N. fraternity the most tolerant people you could wish to meet regardless of their use of the language.
