Might not necessarily be a good idea to try to publish racist waffle in Britain. The law over there <a href="http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-17852_3-57405599-71\/british-man-jailed-for-racist-tweet\/" target="_blank">recently took a pretty dim view</a> of some knucklehead soccer fan who took to Twitter, using racial epithets to dance on the grave (prematurely, it turned out) of an African soccer player who had a heart attack on the field.

This British expat also apologizes for Derbyshire's fuckheadedness.
