Politics. Lily-white Liberals.

The British Liberal Democrats (LDP, as only I call them) have 62 MPs. How many are non-white? Go on, guess.

0. None. Nada. &, yes, it is 2008. This is the high-and-mighty LDP that attacks the Tories for racism when they suggest that the New Labour regime has consistently lied to us about immigration.

Worth remembering when the LDP refers grandly to some mythical British tradition of tolerance, going back to Magna Carta (which they've obviously never read), and ignoring problems like slavery, the Empire, no votes for women till 1919, child slavery during the industrial revolution etc.
