In the heart of rural Wilshire PC and racial equality bigotry has reached a new low. Oh joy, Mrs Carr has found something to complain about. Objection to the phrase “jungle drums” to describe gossip has cost me and other ratepayers financially and has jeopardised a far more worthwhile group, The Wiltshire Network, an independent health watchdog, and in my view slandered Mrs Farquhar.
Perhaps Mrs Carr will now put all her effort into trying to ban Cole Porter’s Night and Day and disassociate herself from the council which I have to support. At the fear of being branded a politically incorrect racist I quote the opening line of the song: “Like the beat beat beat of the tom tom. When the jungle shadows fall”.
What is the world coming to?
Alan Stackman, Calne.
