Johann Hari on Michael Howar
As Michael Howard attempts to woo ethnic minority voters, Johann Hari goes on the offensive:People who know him well assure me Michael Howard is not personally a bigot. Fine. Then he is something worse: a man who is choosing to tango with bigotry for electoral gain.
Incidentally Johann says 'who now, for example, remembers terms like "hottentots" and "piccaninnies"?'. The latter (to my amazement) was used by Matthew Parris in his Times sketch in 2000. A colleague of mine wrote to complain, but Parris brushed it off. Political correctness gone mad.
