Variety is the Spice of Life

As another bunch of celebrities prepare to enter the Big Brother house, I'm sure everyone is gripped with anticipation, shivering with anxiety and foaming at the mouth with intent (either that or you've forgotten your insulin injection).

Last year proved quite a milestone in television, showing that it was OK to call Indian people "Poppadom" and tell them to go home, especially if they were indeed from India. What then followed was an horrific victimisation of a talented, intelligent, and, in many ways, prominent thinker of our times; Jade Goody.

Jade Goody, television star, novelist, fitness guru (she's appeared in 5 fitness DVDs), and all round role model for children and adults everywhere is a great example of "Do what you can with what you've got" - and she's done incredibly well off it. Except for cancer.

Now that we are being forced by the state to accept all these racial types, and not hurl racial slurs at them (political correctness gone mad it is) I'm wondering where this will lead us. A multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society? Not on my watch.

And if variety is the spice of life, do we still need Cloves? Or are Schwartz going to struggle in the current political climate, forced out by an accepting, tolerant and welcoming environment, embracing variety?

And so to a rare hypothesis; Political Correctness will render Herbs and Spices (and the industry thereof) irrelevant and unnecessary. You heard it here first.
