Heh Elaine Send a noteboard - 21/06/2010 01:44:16 PM
I came across <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/10357018.stm">this</a> article, which told me that HMV has stopped selling the Anyone But England t-shirts because they are ... wait for it ... racist and inciting "race hatred". Hmm.

Are we operating with a very wide definition of racism here? Surely that is not the word?


I would not have thought so - I would call it xenophobia myself.

However - ahahahahahahah :D Bring them over here, they'll sell in spades :D
