kscarbel2 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Airline Air China is in hot water with members of British parliament over precautions listed in its inflight magazine "Wings of China" relating to London. A London MP has written to the Chinese ambassador to the UK for an apology. "I am shocked and appalled that even today some people would see it as acceptable to write such blatantly untrue and racist statements," said Virendra Sharma, the member of parliament for an ethnically diverse district in western London. He said Wednesday he had written to the Chinese ambassador to the U.K. to demand an apology from the airline. In fact, the magazine's advice should be heeded. Racist? Rather, I think the airline politely and professionally presented the actual situation. Why is reality so hard for many to acknowledge nowadays? Why politicize a non-political matter? It's becoming increasingly difficult to speak the truth in a "thin skinned" politically correct world. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not surprise me one bit , as far as I know you are still fairly safe out here in the big cities then again I live nearly a 1000 mile from what would be called a big city, but if shoe were to fit in any Australia city so be it as well High time we stopped kidding our selves about this type of stuff and started speaking the truth and only then can they start to fix it Paul 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
