ANALYSIS

This country has drawn a line in the sand when it comes to dealing with racism, namely that it is never acceptable.

The case of John Terry who denies the allegations is the third incident to emerge recently.

Yesterday, Liverpool’s Luis Suarez was handed an eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra and of course that there is that trial of the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the young man whose vicious killing had started the whole process and the closing of arguments for which are currently being heard.

We are not there yet, however, people are disgusted by racism – and perhaps one day that will be this country’s greatest gift to the world.
