There's a celebrated BBC TV interview of a bloke in a suit and his children come into the room in the background. A few moments later a lady scoots them up in a rather haphazard panicky way and beats a retreat out the room. The lady in question looks and acts like a nanny, not a parent and an article in the Guardian questions why we think that Asian looking women in such a situation are immediately assumed to be the nanny, not the spouse.
I can only assume that The Guardian have a 'fill as much space as possible' drive by resorting to such class related articles. 'What does it say about you?' it asks in a 'make you feel guilty' sort of way, I mean why did you think that a younger Asian person scurrying about frantically rounding up high spirited children would mean she was a nanny? I am obviously a bad person.
In other eye-rolling news, Nicola Sturgeon announces she will set up a new independence referendum. Ho hum, play it again Sam. An interesting debate but I don't think anyone has the stomach for it really.
