The problem with all PC behaviour is that it ends up going to far so people get fed up with it and you run the risk of a backlash. Lately there's lots of controversy over stop-and-search targeting certain racial demographics - well if those demographics are statistically more likely to commit crime then that's completely correct sadly.

I had one of these uncomfortable debates the other night after lots of travelling and waiting in security queues - basically ending up with me saying "when was the last time a grey-haired old lady bombed something? Looking back at every Western, post Northern Ireland terrorist attack (or attempted one) the vast vast majority are commuted by brown people with beards called some variation of Mohammad/Ali/Abdul etc". I am not being racist even though this will probably get me a ban and would certainly get me a warning in BB - I was stating FACT. For some reason PC behaviour ignores facts.

That said - Ron did say something that would have been acceptable in the 70's/80's on TV but not now outside of risqué comedy shows. He must know he wouldn't get away with it and he probably regrets it but he was just talking freely and said something not uncommon from people of his generation or indeed many others in the safety of their own homes would say "as a joke".
