		<description>Howard Stern keeps on saying to Robin how she has "Nigger Nostrils" and Robin just replies that she should speak with a Southern accent-not a British one. Madonna is not Jewish-she's part nigger-and this is from Howard to all of his Sirius fans. Its a shame-can't we all look beyond her molten face and see a melted star? So what if she's part eggplant-Howard keeps on pushing 'Mo's buttons. No-she's not Vegas, yet, honey.</description>

		<description>As the person on the left of this picture I think I can put an end to speculation. Richard and Diane are along the right lines. The picture was taken whilst on a holiday to France with 20 friends. We all camoflaged ourselves for a game of 40-40 in the dark. Many took advantage of the old burnt-cork cammo cream treatment, and Emma certainly got involved! We were never, and would never even contemplate, dressing as black people! There are 59 photos in this facebook album, all of which the Evening Standard had access to and show clealy what was going on, and 58 of which did not find their way into the press. Funny that it came out as the Tory Party Conference began...!

As for the caption. It's a sophisticated joke. Yes it uses the unpleasant term "Nigger Minstrel", but the caption is clearly stating that it would be an awful thing to do and that racism isn't to be tolerated. Hence the Ann Winterton reference. It was nothing more than a pop at the Tory's history on race-relations, which I might add has been turned right around by David Cameron.

Sorry to pour cold water on the story, and especial apologies to David who wont be introducing Emma to that lynch mob just yet.</description>

		<description>I suspect this has no more to do with racism than the Pope has to do with genocide.</description>

		<description>I think as usual there is more to the story than has been printed. Me thinks that a clever young lady with a Masters in Politics would not do anything like the stupid things the press are saying but maybe has been misinterpreted???? Now there is a first!</description>

		<description>"Nigger minstrel"? The mind boggles, actually mine comes pre boggled but never mind.
I would have thought the Tories would have had a 'White and Whiter Ball', if they had any balls at all (every one a gem!) 
Anyway, if Emma Pentreath is ever in this part of the world I would be happy to introduce her to parts of Milwaukee where her black face act would go down very well (in a hail of gunfire), and then rural areas where she would be hailed as a visionary comic genius.
It's a funny old world,
