And a good chance that the Brits will not mention it until months later.

Hard to see what this has to do with the British. The man was taken off the plane at Shannon, which is in the Republic of Ireland.

Some time last year the British media decided (under pressure) not to mention the "ethnic origins" of people in the news. Too prejudicial.

Note: The Brits call Middle Easterners, "Asian". Something to remember.

The Irish are even more P.C. than the Brits.

Plus thousands died in the "potato famine"...potatoes being a side dish...because they were too drunk to fish. Why would you take their word.

The British NEWSPAPER which ran this article, is what I was refering to.
