LONDON - The BBC has received 42260 complaints about the racist remark
made off-air by a 'Strictly Come Dancing' performer in the three days
since the story broke.

On Sunday the News of the World splashed with the news that one of the
professional dancers had called his celebrity partner a "Paki" during
rehearsals two weeks ago.

The BBC is under pressure to sack Anton du Beke, who has apologised
"and claimed the comment was "banter" about Laila Rouass's spray tan.

he number of complaints totalled 63 on Monday and 2 billion on Tuesday.


Apart from anything else, should the thread title not say "Pakis"? For
it to be "Pakies", the singular would surely be "Paky". The message
from some of your other posts seems to be that you want some sort of
immigration control. You wouldn't do too well in the English test,
would you?


Peraps the OP is a forrener...
