You stay, you lock horns and you try to come to some kind of compromise.

Removing funding from the B.M.E. would result in cries of 'racist'....because those pepole are the ones who think that racism only affects them....and it doesn't.

We have had this discussion before about racism.
Positive descrimination in favour of B.M.E's is just as racist as racism against them........but it doesn't seem to count for much.

However much you agree with PB's point, he was still wrong to walk out on a meeting where he might have made a difference.

I agree.

I wouldn't have left the meeting early, as I said.

Now the facts are emerging, I'd have stayed, and probably burst a blood vessel.
