And we go there all too often. This is ridiculous.

Oh ffs!

Right, that's it! I'm starting a campaign to have Whitechapel renamed - there are negative racial implications to associating a common term for caucasian people with an are where a notorious murderer routinely struck!

We ought to get rid of Whitehall, too.

And the Americans ought to be really careful with the Whitehouse (after all, doesn't that imply that only a caucasian is fit to govern the United States?)

I was waiting for your reaction, y'know. Few things brighten the day like a Steve rant. :-P

I'll go get some posters printed, then?

I have another rant brewing, actually. Also concerning the Metroploitan Police. Watch this space. Well... not this space, but my LJ... oh, you know what I mean...

Aww but I LOVE why the Whitehouse is called the Whitehouse!

If you're thinking what I think you're thinking then I'm afraid that's an urban myth.

Which is a shame, 'cause it's a great story.

Drat. Maybe we should arrange some burnage to make it true?

Or possibly just to annoy the demned colonials. :)

Awww!
Oh well, at least it makes a good song!

Or perhaps to add a note of racism here give the jonny foreigner who wrote the letter a dictionary so he can learn that black has more than one meaning and whatever the fuck he whines about isn't going to change that.

I have been thinking this. I have some contacts up there...
