As Iain says in the Fraser Nelson story the blog is required reading. So I imagine he read the story there rather than part of humorous quiz of the week on the BBC website.<br /><br />Strangely enough when crafting his piece on the spoof he seems to forget and all of sudden we have a left wing bias story.<br /><br />It is then described as unbelievable that the BBC falls the story. Which seems a bit harsh to hold the Beeb to a higher standard than the Baltimore Sun. <br /><br />The BBC is then accused of just printing the press release by posters although the link is for a quiz. And to cap it all the BBC is then criticised for changing it's story. Shouldn't they correct mistakes - even in light-hearted quizzes?<br /><br />I someone post on Conservative Home about BBC derangement syndrome.

"It's worth asking yoursel...@J H Holloway<br /><br />"It's worth asking yourself where the Irish (my background) areas of the country are, or the Hugenot areas. Of course there are no such places, because the immigrants have been absorbed into the mainstream."<br /><br />Hm, but that's not really true is it? Nor are Hugenots and Irish communities a terribly good comparison. The Irish community in North London, for example, talks with a London accent, melds happily with the rest of London and was largely born in London, but they are still, quite self-conciously, a *community* with their own traditions and even dialect word survivals. Same with the North London Jewish community.<br /><br />The same thing is now happening with the Asian communities that first developed in the 1950s/1960s. In forty years, I'll wager the Somalis and Poles, for example, will have reached the same state of happy assimilation, with a spicing of independent tradition.<br /><br />Sounds healthy enough to me. But then I'm a liberal, what do I know?<br /><br />Ultimately, all these groups will assimilate to the same degree as have the Huguenots, who, unlike the other peoples mentioned, were not immigrating here as late as the 1960s.

Of course there are no such places, because the immigrants have been absorbed into the mainstream.<br /><br />The Left is determined that people should be divided up and encouraged - even forced - to think of themselves of as being from elsewhere, even when they are third generation immigrants.<br /><br />The vast majority of Anglo-Brits are fair minded. But they do not like the idea of state-sponsored separatism.<br /><br />That's why the Tebbit Cricket test is so clever.
