SHE PASSED HER DRIVING TEST WITH FLYING COLOURS.

An Edinburgh woman was taking her driving test. At one point, the examiner told her to take the first turning on the left. At that moment a boy ran across the road just in front of the car. She braked hard, and the examiner who had been looking at his notes, hit the windscreen giving him a nice bump on his forehead.
She passed the test with the dry but objective comment "Your emergency stop is excellent.”

On street corners, bored Asian and white youths say they have faced naked racism every day but at interrace meetings nobody has had enough courage to say "Hey, there are some lads in your community who are troublemakers". Everyone is afraid of sounding racist. The question then is:
