IN reply to your reader Dorothy Cambridge, I have to say - no, she is not alone in abhorring any kind of racism.
With the greatest of respect to David McCadden, the writer of the play about Mal Hussain, 'Kosovo Bound', I also have to say that a play has never changed anything. Not even in the sixties, when the greatest cultural revolution in theatre took place.
We have a system of government which is supposed to reflect the feelings of the electorate that voted the council into office. This is where the real power is supposed to lie. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure Mr McCadden's heart lies in the right place but at the end of the day it is the responsibility of the council to sort out this affair. After all, that's why we elected them in the first place.
A new council, like a new broom, should sweep clean; not be left to pick up the chippings of the previous administration.
