Hypocrisy of the middle class media about racism.

Uncle Joe | 26.01.2007 00:10 | Analysis | Anti-racism

An executive of Standard Life Pensions has used a vile racist comment during a speech, yet Indymedia and the rest of the middle class press are completely silent.

Trevor Matthews used the comment at a meeting, and the BBC reported this issue without quoting the said comment.

The report is here:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/6298041.stm

Why are Indymedia up-in-arms about mixed race Jade Goody making some immature remarks about an obnoxious Indian princess without reporting the hatred of the ruling class?

You decide.....
