Discrimination

As Harriet Harman introduces a bill which will permit and encourage discrimination against white males, I am reminded of the story of Cliff Hall, the West Indian singer with Liverpool folk group The Spinners, a popular TV act in the 60s and 70s.

For their first album the record company, fearful of promoting a multi-racial act, made for the record sleeve a cartoon of the group, in which they were all white.

If you can laugh that off, you can laugh anything off. The excellent Cliff Hall has died aged 82.
