Fair enough. We now have: "I might vote for the BNP" is OK in 'uniform'; "I wish I didn't have to treat those black bastards" is not. What about "I think the BNP has the right idea sending back those black bastards, but I know I have to treat them anyway"? (whether or not that is a true representation of BNP poicy, before anyone chastises me!) Where is the line? Who decides? (Declaration of interest: I am married to a non-white person. The most offensive things I have ever heard have been people shouting things along the lines of 'why aren't you with a nice white boy?' but with more swearing. So 'BNP' are letters that make my blood boil.) Scientist
