sarahWhile most blogs pay attention to the news of the new British invention of cloaking a Tank Britain is more obsessed with the remarks BBC Radio host Sarah Kennedy made:

She said she had nearly run over a pedestrian because she could not spot him and had only seen the “invisible” man when he “opened his mouth”.

This wasn’t the first time she made kinda dumb remarks. For example in 2000 she suggested that black people made good runners because they were used to being chased by lions. At the time she added she could not think of any black swimmers although she said “you black people are all so marvelous at running”.

“This is nothing to do with prejudice - it is a fact based on the science of light reflecting off objects.”
