Huh? How does that make sense? Well, I don’t know whether this idiocy is coming from the Telegraph or John Denham, but this is a headline today:

How can racism amongst white supremacists be “getting worse”? Surely if you’re a white supremacist, being racist is pretty much a foregone conclusion?

Racism amongst white supremacists can’t be rising; to be a whoite supremacist, you must also be racist. The number of white supremacists may be rising, and hence an increase in the number of racists, but racism can’t really “get worse” in a group that are defined by their very racism!

Since there are pretty much no quotes from John Denham in the article, there is no way of telling whether it is Denham (or his advisers) or Telegraph hacks who have created the coined the absurd phrase above.

Whoever it is, however, really needs to think a bit more in future before putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
