Ron Atkinson
In Number 10 bar, a very good but sadly not-much-visited bar on Golborne Road, W10, they have the daily papers, and as you always do when they're free, I picked up the tabloids. The Daily Mirror had a Ron Atkinson story.Atkinson followed the story with this "joke": "I can't understand why there
is such a population problem in China as they have the best contraception going
- Chinese women are the ugliest in the world."
I read a blog somewhere recently where the writer - who I normally admire -- said Ron was 'not a racist'. He is. If you watched that dreadful ITV programme where he charged around the planet being 'not racist' in that way only 'racists' can you'd be pretty sure of that.
