Strange, isn't it?

I can't really speak on their behalf, Steve. Bear in mind that they both have a lot more experience than me and so are probably less eager to put their heads in the noose than myself.
As with anything which involves race or religion, the first whiff of disdain for a 'minority' group can finish you off, even if it is justified. Whilst I have no such qualms, Bernard and Joan are superb councillors and they can't keep that up if they lose their seats over a badly-contexted remark in the paper.
