Black Bastards
Patrick Mercer, the Tory party's homeland security spokesman and a former Army colonel, was dismissed yesterday after he said that being called a "black bastard" was part and parcel of being in the Armed Forces.
"Guilty of opening his gob. The truth hurts and people don't like it but for an intelligent man he didn't behave too wisely. It is a pity because HM Forces need people like him who are able to speak on their behalf," said one poster.
Of course this is all true. But another unfortunate truth is that the British Army is full of the worst kind of snobbery and deceit, together with the idlers referred to by Mercer. It has got to the point that whatever Prince Harry is like, a lot of people really want him killed by "friendly fire".
IMO: If Cameron wants any votes he had to sack the guy. Cameron himself, in getting away completely with things that would have ruined his life if they had happened to a nonwhite in Coldharbour Lane, must have already lost a lot of votes. He certainly has not got my vote or that of others I have spoken to.
