More Shocking Denial Of Truth

A Tory MP has been forced to quit his frontbench role after making comments on race in the Army which party leader David Cameron called "unacceptable".

Shadow homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer said he had met "a lot" of "idle and useless" ethnic minority soldiers who used racism as a "cover".

Read the whole thing to actually get the feel of Mr Mercer's full comments.

David Cameron's line stands out for me:

He added that "racism is disgusting and has no part in any part of our society".

What's even more disgusting is the way this man has been treated for simply telling the truth, and not for saying anything remotely racist or hateful. I am absolutely appalled by this.
