Should Theresa May suspend an MP for employing this durable colloquialism? How will ISF treat this thread? I hope it is OK here, I have always been fascinated by the censorship of Mark Twain. In New Zealand pakeha means white grub I believe. It is always important to examine our own ways of...

Go to youtube and type in "Ni##er Brown and C##n Cheese Should Their Names Change?" I've been told that ni##er is not a very offensive word in Australia and that's why no one bothered to file a complaint about Ni##er Stadium, other than an Aboriginal man by the name of Stephen Hagan. The...
