Stick to the Kebabs (or, yet another Government minister proves himself to be a moron)

[socmot]

Fianna Fáil TD Conor Lenihan dropped himself in it today. While taking flak in the Dáil from Joe Higgins in the debate about the future of Aer Lingus he retored off-mic that the Deputy should "stick to the Kebabs". Meaning Turkish Gama workers - at least, that would seem to the case, since he issued an apology for any offence caused

"he issued an apology for any offence caused."

Ah well in that case he isn't a casually racist fuck. I wonder how much more obvious it can be made that they don't so much give a crap about anti racism legislation as much as it's something to talk about.

And listening to his defenders is incredible. "Ah, sure, it was only a little bit of racism" is what their defences amount to. "And sure really it was a compliment to Joe Higgins for all the help he's giving to those feckin' keb... er, nice GAMA workers."
