robert kilroy-silk's childish, racist and ill-informed comments about arabs do neither him, the sunday express nor the bbc any favours.



i can only assume that the sunday express employ him as a coulmnist because the editor favours k-s's brand of right-wing hate - i read it most sundays as my parents take the paper and i always have a look at what the intolerent, uneducated bastard is ranting about - and i am amazed that he's not been prosecuted for the things he writes.



i have no idea why the bbc employs him. i've seen his show a few times and can't believe how amateurish he is nor how self-righteous, pedantic and just plain boring he is. with the bbc in a ratings war with the trash that the independent channels put out, i suppose this kind of crap is sufficient to grab a share of the viewers.



here's a much more measured assessment of what the arabs have done for us.
