Adrian Anthony Gill (A. A. Gill) Quotes
Making a programme that appears to condone a positive stereotype actually enforces all the negative ones as well. It says that they all have a valid point.

But to say that there's a conspiracy of Jewish bankers, that gypsies are thieves, Pakistanis are dirty and refugees are muggers is something quite else.
