veritas	I think there is a difference here.. Harry obviously made this tape for himself (although he committed the first cardinal mistake...never put something in writing). He wasn't producing something to be broadcast. You cannot legislate aginst stupidity..otherwise his grandfather would have been found guilty decades ago. I've yet to se any outrage about how the NoTW obtained this tape.
BR	shouldnt the BBC ban FAWLTY TOWERS on the basis that there is one episode which features Goosestepping and hitler impersonations ? I do hope they dont make any money out of this show and that NotW will treat the BBC in the same way that they treat HARRY. Shocking hypocrisy. The WAY in which the term was used determines whether the term was racist. If HARRY did not mean it in a racist way then it was not. I have no idea whether he is a racist or not. But to jump all over him for this is crazy after 3 years. NotW is desperate to sell papers because it must be close to closing down ? it cant sell enough papers to survive surely with its poor standard of reporting.
Al	May I draw everyone's attention to the name of the biggest online Pakistani community? http://www.paki.com
JK2006	I fail to see anything wrong in dressing up in fancy dress for a party or phoning someone to say their grand daughter had consexual sex or jokily calling a mate a Paki or most of the other righteous indignation topics. The media want a good story. That's all that matters. So they exaggerate and inflate and colour and express indignation. There are serious problems in the world. Let's sort them out and avoid the smokescreen created to sell tabloids or boost ratings.
JC	Personally I see nothing wrong with wearing a mock Nazi uniform to a private fancy dress party. People dress as all kinds of crazy things and it means nothing. It's just a costume. As for the P word. It's short for Pakistani. I don't take offence when someone calls me a Limey, although I'm still not sure how that name came about. I'm sure some people would cry racism if Harry had said "There's our Pakistani friend." "Why point out his race?" they would cry. "He is making it an issue!" The NoW have made it an issue just for the sake of it. With all the serious stuff that's going on in the world they choose to waste time on this pointless crap. They should take the word News out of their title. How about The Weekly Stirrer?
