Cllr Alexander was complaining to fellow councillors about apparently being told her name was a meaningless jumble of letters while she was partaking in some health tourism in England and said:
We are treated like niggers over the border. Our language and culture is trampled on and it’s a very sensitive issue. It’s not our fault that we don’t have a district general hospital to go to.Cllr Alexander says that she wasn't being racist and isn't resigning as a councillor but has resigned from her cabinet post.

One silly comment like this and your career is over in politics.

It is disgusting that we are losing so many good and honest people of all parties and all persuasions, who have over the years, worked hard for their communities. These are not bad people by any stretch of the imagination.
Just a while back, a 70 year old councilwoman in Brimscombe, Gloucestershire committed a crime.
Her crime? She described HERSELF as ‘the nigger in the woodpile’, which offended two of her fellow Councillors.
Neither of her opponents belonged to the racial group justified to resent being described by the word in the idiom. Nonetheless they felt called upon to feel offended, as they’ve been trained to be by the ethos of political correctness.
A simple reply like “Oh, I’m sorry about that.” would have been more than ample and a perfectly acceptable response.

The 'health tourism' phrase suggests the author isn't very sympathetic to her - and may have a case on that point - but no word is barred from *my* vocablary and anyone trying to limit others should be strung up...

Old timers like me find it hard to keep up with the latest PC rules and changes.

But now Jo Public has had enough of immigration.
Now they have to let us talk about immigration.
