    That’s not the case anymore. Now they’d use “wog” for that.

    One of our local members of parliament, a youngish woman who had clearly read too much Enid Blyton, responded to a constitutent’s query with the phrase “n**er in the woodpile.” It not being the 1930s anymore, this was greeted with derision.

      So they do exist and public figures using it are treated about the same way it is is America, glad we agree.
