yet more Political Correctness gone mad!

Some people get wound up over the smallest of things. 'Working like a black' is a saying that has been in use in Ireland for only god knows how long.

And so what if a FF senator glibly makes a remark that praises her election team for helping her secure the nomination as a candidate for the next general election, saying they had "worked like blacks".

It was not a racist slur as the Residents against Racism suggest. Us Irish have always used language in a colourful way and I pray it remains that way without fear of the PC brigade getting all uppity.
