From what I understand of the situation with Harry`s predicament it was the uncle of Harry`s comrade and his PC brigade who sold Harry down the river.
Loyalty to these spokesmen who represents these communities I believe will always come first and their only other loyalty is Harry`s Grandmothers pound sterling

Well it was the guy who took the film in the first place never mind his uncle, if this guy had anything about him he'd have made sure that this didn't hit the papers, but that's the trouble today people are prepared to sell their soul and principles for personal gain, just ask Tony Blair

Being a Pakki and served in the British Army, I say what happens in the Barrack Room should stay in the Barrack Room. In Haary's case it appears that it was more affectionate than racist and as someone said in an earlier post, it it did not offend the recipient then why all the furore. In the forces you give as good as you get that is the nature or Army life. There are more important things going on in the world than being called names. This week is Rememberance Sunday and we should be thinking of all those that gave their lives so we could live freely and have the opportunity to call people names.

Good lad Phoenix, i missed this thread when it started, due to being outa the country, its just the usual balls from the press, stirring up as they do,i worked fer near 23 yrs wi mostly asians n had n still have many mates amongst em, those were addressed as pakkis by me, they addressed me as Mr Barsteward, twas just good fun n craic, no offense taken either way, yet even on here i was once reported by a young political ****** fer using the word in the chatroom, was well before this thread was even started, i notice that ****** aint commented at all on the thread, speaks volumes about him to me.

I don't think Harry is racist at all..when you are in life or death situations like those in the forces face it does not matter what or who the bloke watching your back is as long as you have trust in him to back you up.. I think that came across.
There is a line that is to be drawn, if calling someone a nigger or pakki and it is meant as an insult.. then you are asking for trouble..that's the difference.
