Interesting that it's a UK left liberal mainstream paper that's published the story rather than relying on the 'alternative' online press as seems to happen over there.

Are your mainstream press even covering this stuff?

I have noticed that many stories I see in my emailings seem to come from the British press.

Rarely does anything like this get covered here. At least not that I usually catch. :(

Most people there seem to swallow Fox H, L & S!

That is where that happened. I saw a headline about a Black sheriff being fired. UGH...
It would be so much easier if people would stop pretending to be non racist and just admit it. :(

Apparently it took electing a Black man to the presidency to get other people to openly show how racist they really are. UGH.......

I didn't realize that hatred was an easier emotion to show then love/caring. :(
