Forgive me for being sceptical, but I find this statement by John Major about BME people rather difficult to believe: "They shared my house. They were my neighbours. I played with them as boys" http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/john-major-has-these-surprising-things-to-say-about-immigrants--gkX4GjlyXl
Is there any photographic evidence of this happily-integrated "vibrantly diverse" inter-ethnic fraternisation in 1950s Brixton?
A picture of BME people sharing the Major house perhaps? Or one of the Majors and their BME neighbours chatting over the garden fence? Or perhaps a heart-warming snap of John Major as a lad playing with BME boys?
What, not even one photo?
We just have to take John Major's word for it?
Thank you, but I would rather not take John Major's word as a guarantee of the truth. I'm afraid that John Major's word is worth nothing. Less than nothing.
Unavailable because of a dental appointment indeed!
There are some people for whom the c-word must be reserved.
John Major is one of those people.
