I know how you all love it when I mention Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, so here goes. On the BBC News Channel paper review last night she talked about Jenni Russell's article in the Sunday Times on class. Here's how the exchange went...
YAB: "We had a funny kind of statement from the communities minister (John Denham) that race didn't matter but class did..."
Iain: "Well that puts you out of a job then..."
Any smugness I might have been feeling evaporated a minute later when she she started talking about the "privileged few in the Tory Party - people like him...", as she gestured to me. Unfortunately, before I could reply Clive Myrie called time.
