Bleary Eyed
Hazell Blears (great name for a hangover, "sorry I can't come in to work, I've got the blears"), has got on her New Labour soapbox and advocated the stopping and searching of young Asians, she was at pains to point out that they won't mind. This was countered by a security expert on LBC pointing out that because these guys now fit the security profile, recruiters of bombers will be looking for people who are caucasian in appearance such as chechins and other Eastern Europeans. It seems that Hazell Blears has not based this suggested strategy on any facts but opinions written in the tabloid press - we have to be careful that this situation does not become a pogrom.
