Regurgitating Racial Epithets, Dhesi Style

I last heard the term 'towel-head' some 37 years ago, in school, that too in a gentle ribbing by a friend.

I mean, what kind of 1980s moron says 'towel-head' anymore?

Or so I thought. I heard it again just 4 days ago from a rabid remainer, who colourfully embellished it as "towel-headed useful idiot".

I know Tan Dhesi is thrilled at his rousing act in parliament, and that it's gone viral all over Facebook and Whatsapp.

Thanks to him though, a whole new generation has been introduced to a hitherto extinct racial epithet.

It just set us Sikhs in the UK back by several decades.
