    Actually, NBH is right - and it's a more successful example too, leading to ethnicity measurement being officially reviewed again and a whole lot of our compatriots not knowing the difference between nationality and ethnicity. Hobson would be proud.

    Off-topic but Fran O'Sullivan reckons our government should be leaning on banks to bail out those poor dairy farmers.
