Black people make up 4% of the UK but appear in over half of adverts, according to a new Channel 4 report. Is the industry finally realising that such fake over-representation is off-putting, asks Lee Taylor.

Let the protests cotinue as long as unjust wars continues
Next Protest at Shannon
Many people wonder why so few protesters turn up for protests at Shannon airport. They frequently ask why does'nt someone organise something. The answer to this is, why dont you? This is your airport too, and the children killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are all of our children.
Please don't give up on this most serious of issues, please make it an issue in the comming election.
We need weekly protests at Shannon airport on a continuous basis not only up to the election at the end of May but also afterwards, so that the next Government don't take our silence as agreement with Irish Government complicity in crimes against humanity.
 In my view there are far too few protests and protesters at Shannon. There should be a permanent peace camp at Shannon, as long as US troops are abusing Shannon airport and Irish neutrality in breach of the international laws on neutrality. Far more serious are the abuses of human rights being committed by these same troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Killing is the most serious breach of human rights and over half a million deaths have already been caused.
All it takes to have a protest at Shannon is one person, that is you.
Go to Shannon and make your own protest in whatever way you find most appropriate. Better still, being some friends, two is company, three is a crowd.
With the election comming up in late May I am now proposing that immediatly after Easter, that is from Saturday 14 April, there should be a weekly protest at Shannon at 2pm each Saturday.
Just for the record the dates are as follows:
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 14 April 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 21 April 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 28 April 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 5 May 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 12 May 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 19 May 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 26 May 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
***Shannon airport peaceful protest Sat 2 June 2007, time 2pm, or whenever, meeting at the terminal building or wherever.
Please remember that the estimates of Iraqi dead also estimate that about 40% of those dead are, or were, children. that is about 262,000 children have died in Iraq as a result of this unlawful war that has been ignominously assisted and facilitated at Shannon airport.

Jump To Comment: 1UN BANS TWO VENDORS FOLLOWING INTERNAL INVESTIGATION
By George Russell and Claudia Rosett
Signs of the problem spilled out in testimony that a gigantic Russian-based air transport company paid at least $700,000 in “consulting” fees to a United Nations procurement officer, in an arrangement involving at least 10 to 12 U.N. contracts awarded to the firm.
Ms. Montas also said that based on a related investigation by the UN's Procurement Task Force, registered vendors Corimec Italiana S.p.A and Volga Dnepr Airlines and its subsidiary, Volga-Dnepr (Ireland) Ltd., were suspended from the Vendor Database in light of alleged inappropriate relationships between them and a former UN official.
Their web site proudly proclaims that “Since 1992, the Volga-Dnepr Company has always participated in U.N. peace-keeping and humanitarian missions. The Company enjoys the official U.N. carrier status since 1994, and has been on the U.N. supplier roster since 1995.”
Without admitting to taking bribes from Volga-Dnepr, Alexander Yakovlev testified that he had illegally set up what he described as a private consulting firm to assist companies in preparing bids for U.N. procurement contracts in violation of his U.N. impartiality.
Other records obtained by FOX News show that Volga-Dnepr’s Irish subsidiary won $30 million in U.N. contracts in 2005, chiefly for “freight forwarding.” Volga-Dnepr got about $18.6 million in 2004, mostly for the same services.
