The Commission for Racial Equality, still thinking that it's 1970 and that the best way to promote racial harmony is to approach children's literature like Margaret Dumont in a sex-toy shop, denounced the 1930's comic book Tintin in the Congo as "racist" and demanded that the Borders bookshop chain remove it from their shelves least five-year olds glance at the cover and go bolting off for the nearest BNP office to join up.The result? Tintin remains on the shelves (albeit not in the children's section) and sales have skyrocketed 3800 percent.
My copy should be arriving on Tuesday.
