LOL it's not a place for quotas, the best players should be picked irrespective of colour. have to agree the country outside of the major cities is overwhelmingly white, one thing that bugs me is advertising at the moment I see adverts where everyone is coloured, that's not reflective of the country as a whole. the actress you refer to used to have caucasian as her ethnicity on her CV I sometimes think that quotas for everything would be great. Can you imagine going to a premier league manager and saying less than 5% of the population is black, so you can only have one black player in the team and they can only play for half the game.
I can only dream about players who will play for half the game

Meanwhile the London Mayor's office doesn't believe you can be a Londoner if you're a white family ... This is the photo in question.  It's right. They really don't "represent real Londoners". They don't represent real anything. They look so... plastic, and catalogue model.

They don't represent real anything. They look so... plastic, and catalogue model. They look fairly normal to me.

at 10-11 14% of British kids are overweight and 23% obese
38% of adults in the UK are overweight ( but not obese ), and 26% obese
so statistically all of them shouldn't be thin.
only 50% of families with 2 children will have a boy and a girl the other 50 % have 2 of 1 sex

Two boys perhaps? Two girls? Each of those would be less than 25% so a boy/girl seems to make sense to me.

To quote 'Hot Chocolate'
Started with a kiss
Never thought it would come to this
Maybe I am watching the wrong kind of news (Sky sports). but Spain seems to be going into some sort of meltdown. A Mother locking herself in a Church and going on hunger strike seems to be causing a lot of concern (Given its only half a day so far, think that's technically skipping a meal)

There are a million or more different family types in London. A myriad of colours, weights, numbers of children, step children, same sex couples. Non would be wrong, just an example. The world seems to be going crazy on trying to imply that complex things can be represented in simple ways, ie, a single image. Insensitive to show a white family? Was this the only picture? If it was it was a bit crass. I think there should be pictures of other family groups as well, but some would be sure to be left out. Would a single picture of a black family be OK? Possibly less inflammatory I guess.
