If the two yogurt knitting labour politicians are so het up about a sports teams name, then perhaps they should direct their attention to The Saracens RFU team. I have never been so insulted by a sports team name than this. Surely it implies that all muslims are scimitar wielding barbarians. Please, please change your name Saracens, to something less insulting to a minority. Something like The Crusaders would suffice.

    i blame the Italians. :D

    Tomatoes used to only come in one colour...yellow, until the Italians decided to breed a red variety to match their flag and don't get me started on the Dutch changing the colour of our native purple carrots to orange, William, no!

    ...and what about the Swedes?
  • Pubs called the Saracen's Head or the Black Boy must change their names too.
    (Mr Goo, search for the Labour in Vain, Yarnfield, Stone, Staffs for much ballyhoo regarding PC pub names/signs)

    I guess they have given up on getting into No.10 while Corbyn is in charge so they've taken to pointless PC bollox like this to occupy themselves?
