In fact, they've made things worse in Carole Thatcher's case by reviving a word which had by and large fallen out of common usage, all of which could've been avoided by a quiet reprimand behind the scenes.

dont think anyone would dream of calling em one, nor would i dream even less of doing what ross n brand did, some can't see the differance in severity.
n as fer calling a black person "nigger" as mancie says, i hear black people call each other that occasionally, n same with certain words of other ethnic origins, seems to me many of em don't make such a big deal or they wouldn't use it themselves, or is it only wrong for whites to use these words?
