And you point is, as if we haven't heard it countless times before?

And it's well known that people who judge people by the colour of their skin are always scrupulously fair in excluding those of mixed ethnicity from their views.

"Send them back where they came from, unless of course their parent married someone who should be here" can often be heard chanted at BNP rallies.

No - you just prefer Caroline more........Natalie may not have worn her feelings on her sleeves so to speak, (she had not as far as we were aware, recently through a breakup) but I would not say she was not warmer. In my opinion the best dancer deserves to win! but it does not always happen the way.

Okay.

Huzzah. Caroline won. Not everyone is actually bothered about the "journey". Why, exactly, does everyone have to begin from the very bottom? I don't understand that. Is it in the name of the show? Is it written somewhere? I might be wrong, but this is a celebrity dance show in which non-pro celebrities learn to dance routines with pro's and perform on television. I'm not actually interested in seeing mediocre dancers winning just because they sucked at the beginning.

It has nothing to do with race (Louis Smith won) it has everything to do with the BP vote and sadly, Simon didn't get enough votes to win.

That made me LOL.

Maybe the racists have an official shade chart to hold up? Y'know, like a dentist fitting for dentures?

Can you now belt it - there is time and place - and this is not it! IMHO

The point is people are saying Caroline is no different to other celebs who've been to stage school. I'm saying she is because she didn't go to stage school, she spent 3 years at a Dancing School which is slightly different.

Frankly I didn't care who won, so long as it wasn't that bald man from Eastenders, whose name I can't even remember, but it would have been nice if it had been someone who wasn't much of a dancer to start with.

And who exactly are you trying to say are doing this? You've got some weird unsubstantiated racial thing going on in your head and it's making you irrational. Please seek help immediately.

It is ALWAYS the time and place for discussing the injustices* in society. It's what helps humanity to progress.

*And by injustice I don't me "person A wuz robbed".

Both of them as a couple were so up themselves evey week.

Did simon say he was going to open a dance school where he lived. He could definitely have a new career on stage in a musical. Blue had their day years ago.

It's called "sarcasm".

Stop being such a killjoy. And the 'bald' man is Jake Wood

Daily Mail reader I expect. You have to feel sorry for them really. Live in a very small world with very few windows!

I really don't want to open up a hornets nest but we've yet to see a winner from strictly that has both parents that are black or Asian - at it is - it seems to win strictly if you're a celeb of colour you have to be the right shade of black or brown ie a lighter shade.

By the way I supported Simon and I don't think he was 'robbed' - I think any of the final 3 would have made worthy winners and I'm especially happy for Pasha. I'm just grateful that Mark didn't come anywhere near winning!

I think overall Caroline was the better dancer.

But Simon's Argentine Tango was something else. In any "normal" year that AT would have won Simon the title, but Caroline was just ever so slightly better overall.

I would have been happy with either winning so can't complain.

Simon could have done it if he had a more likeable personality.

He may have come 2nd for all we know. The vote creature, does not remain static throughout the series. It is just an indicator in a moment in time. It can show a trend but not necessarily 100% reliable.

But you will never get this or the programme would be completely boring. All you can do, if you're that fanatical about it, is not vote for them.

I like Simon and found Caroline a bit of a charisma black hole

Oh for heaven's sake, do your research. She studied musical theatre. She did not go to a dance school. Get over it, or get your facts straight! So tedious.

I wanted him to win

He was lucky to even be there when he was in the bottom 3 times. He did good.

I think I felt my house shake a little when those goal posts moved.
