In fact, my friend Ranjit who owns the post office at the end of the road was so incensed he has stopped customers from buying their TV licence, while his brother a doctor in the NHS, trained in Delhi and paid 1/2 of what his English colleagues are said 'I am also disgusted, this type of humour at racial stereotypes must stop!"
