Meanwhile, BBC presenter Dick Tracey also confronted de Lache with the accusation that his 'twat' was racist and sexist, although not saying why, and asked him repeatedly if he would delete the post. When he said that he would not, she said, ‘Fair enough’ and proceeded to ask listeners to phone in saying what their favourite colour was (sources inform us that Mr de Lache favoured a peachy white).
Defending his comments, de Lache suggested that it was he who was the real victim in all of this. ‘I have a thick skin. I don’t mind being called racist or sexist; but it is being told that my jokes are not funny that really hurts. My family should not have to put up with such hate.’ And it appears that de Lache (a former stand up comedian himself, who worked the circuit of mens clubs in London for two decades in the 1980s and 1990s) has supporters in high places. Dan ‘the Fat Man’ Brown, a life-long friend of de Lache, told JMLR, ‘Nowadays, you can’t even say all blacks look the same without some loony lefty calling you a racist. It’s political correctness gone mad.’ Support was also offered by the former politician, Jim Pilchard, who wrote, ‘F**king WOKE snowflakes. Why don’t you all go away and slash your wrists!’
Meanwhile, the Jersey Evening Pravda has been inundated with letter support for the previously unknown deputy, with local bookmaker, Honest Ned, saying that he is now favourite to top the poll in St Clement in 2022 and then to become Chief Minister. ‘It goes to show – all publicity is good publicity.’
