In this P.C. world as it has increasingly become over the past 40 years, the mightiest, most powerful word in the English language is the word; 'some'.

It can render the most unpalatable remarks 'acceptable', and Letwin is a jerk-off for not capitalising on his expensive education and including the word.

Oh what a word it is:

White people are racist bastards.
Some white people are racist bastards.

Blacks have a bad moral attitude.
Some blacks have a bad moral attitude.

Had he included that unassuming, little mighty atom of a word - who could disagree with him?

Personally, in the grand scheme of things, as idiotic as Letwin was and still is, and as offensive as his (many) remarks are, I feel this is an over-reaction; a storm in a 30 year old tea cup, and there are far worse incidents to worry about which are current.
