Gael Monfils
The latest story of Carol Thatcher jokingly saying, in a so-called private conversation, that French tennis player Gael Monfils hair reminded her of the golliwog previously seen on the jar’s of Robinson’s jam.
The daughter of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has now been allegedly banned from appearing on future BBC One show’s, although if her surname had been Ross, she would have no doubt got a slapped wrist and paid to stay out of the public eye for a few weeks!
Ms. Thatcher was said to have made the remark to Adrian Chiles in the hospitality room of the BBC, who was apparently “outraged”, outraged enough perhaps to go telling tales on what was just a bit of humour with no offense intended.
Whoever it was that did go running to the boss hoping to score points for finding a racist comment, why don’t they come forward and tell us there side of the story and why they found this totally innocent remark so offensive?
So, for all you free thinking people out there beware, your ability to communicate through speech is being taken away, how long before thought becomes a crime!

Adrian Chiles behaving like a spoilt child in typical BBC manner running to auntie to tell tale. He should be the one chastised for telling tales as we were when we were children.
What a complete waster.
