[Hodger1957]

I saw 2 separate interviews this morning where they asked what the difference was and neither could give a clear answer.
It was described as 'abhorrent language'. A bit over the top.
He's an old bloke who shouldn't have been in that job anyway.
He's of a generation that struggles to know what's right to say, and what's not.
People have never been more offensive to each other, yet never been so easily offended.
There's bigger disasters in the World than some old bloke using the word coloured, yet it's headline news.
He's resigned - move on.
There's plenty of old racists in the House of Lords.

I was born in 1947 Hodger and believe me I was brought up in a generation that fully understands the difference between right and wrong and the majority still do. There is a minority in all generations in life.
