Sir Trevor McDonald referred to the late Bernard Manning as a 'fat, white bastard' - well it's a free country - allegedly.
It was a racist remark by any standard but ignored by Ofcom. Frankly, that doesn't bother me a single jot.
We are far too over sensitive as we kowtow to the dictates of the PC movement.
What does trouble me is that effectively, Trinidad Trev - [a man I admire, incidentally] - has got away with it because hypocritically, black to white racism 'doesn't really matter' to the PC brigade.
Imagine if Bernard had reversed the comment to Trevor. The resultant row doesn't bear thinking about!
