The only regrettable aspect of the nonsense surrounding Lady Hussey’s comments is that someone is apparently traumatised by them.

That the Prince of Wales should exacerbate the issue by making any statement at all is equally lamentable.

When people in authority start telling us what thought processes are and are not acceptable in our Society we are in real trouble.

Perhaps private individuals can make such judgements for themselves?

Being asked where one comes from is part of everyday conversation and is hardly a cause for any distress.

Those delicate little rosebuds who find such conversation leads to a state of shellshock might be advised to take their considerable talents to a more suitable environment- a kindergarten perhaps.
