Did you agree with the jury who decided the Stephen Lawrence case?
Before you start on the race issue again though I'll say that perhaps we should stop and consider that it's possibly as a result of the perceived racism and injustices against the ethnic minorities such as in the Lawrence case, that the race card, as it's being termed, is being played.
The Lawrence case and the recent riots have made it all the more possible to play the race card.
Britain isn't a racist society, but it does have racist elements within it. The majority of people are sensitive to such matters, hence the emergence of the race card as a vehicle to prosecution.
Perhaps the victims in this case feel this is the only way to get justice.
