We have long been told that we have freedom of speech in this country and yet the minutest detail of every word we say these days is scrutinised on the off chance that someone is offended.  Why shouldn't the communities that these perpetrators come from be criticised openly for allowing this behaviour to go on? Who cares if they're offended by the truth? I'm offended by a lot of things that happen in this country as are many other people, but what has happened to our right to complain? If we carry on kowtowing to every minority under the sun for fear of causing offence, then the majority end up with no voice.

As for Sarah Champion, I know it was probably a case of "Jump or you will be pushed" but she would have gone up in a lot of people's estimation if she had stuck to her principles and not resigned.
