It’s hard to see how Brian Hayes could be regarded as a racist. After all, he was talking about language difference, not race, and I think he was referring to other Europeans’ children as much as to those from Asia or Africa.

As usual, people were very quick to jump on the PC bandwagon instead of asking whether he was addressing a legitimate point, however clumsily.

I don’t know. Maybe there isn’t a problem. What are teachers saying about it? Are they having to devote tooo much time helping children with no English, or did Brian Hayes just make it up?

If so, he’s an idiot, but I don’t see how he can be called a racist.

It’s a cheap shot, in my opinion.

I wouldn’t be surprised if “imnotaracistbut.com” sees Brian Hayes desperately trying to contact Enda to see if there’s any way to salvage something from the ruins of his political career.

Unlikely, after such a hilarious PWNING.

Bravo anonymous internet japester!

Of course, this has the added bonus of providing lazy hacks with some mindless page-filler, e.g. “When contacted by the Sunday Scrote, Mr Hayes said he had ‘no comment to make’ on the contents of the website”.

Make that a double bravo.
