Impossible for a black PM?

[Kinvig]

According to Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, it would be unlikely that we'd ever get a black pm.

Does he REALLY mean that or is he just trying to promote his organisation.

The cynic in me thinks he's just after headlines & publicity. Some greasy little toad.

Correct me if I'm wrong, we've had a lady PM & we currently have a scottish PM. So where's the bias against people that don't "fit the mould".

He has been back pedaling on that today because it is complete rubbish.Its about the individual,and if you have enough drive ,ability and luck anybody could be PM.We have had Welsh,Scottish,Jewish and Female PMs so why not a black one?

David Lloyd George----Welsh
Disraeli---Jewish
Thatcher---Female
Brown----Scottish

Im sure there are other examples.
