Fitting punishments?
WHEN Tory MP Aidan Burley organised a Nazi-themed stag party, it was considered stupid but not racist.
Yet when Nicolas Anelka made a stupid gesture, which at the time very few people knew the meaning of, it was considered racist and anti-semitic. He is threatened with a five match ban and a fine.
What will be Mr. Burley’s punishment?
Mr B Emmerson, Charles Street, Selby.
