In the news

Starkey, supposedly one of Britain's leading intellectuals, comes out with the most racist repsonse I have seen to the looting and it hardly causes a stir. So, I wouldn't expect Miliband to call him a cunt but at least he said something. And he called the comments "disgusting and outrageous" which is not as mealy mouthed as you make out.
