Earlier this week a letter was published by a newspaper in Stoke which took issue with a suggestion by Atticus Solicitors’ Rob Holt that the N-word is frequently used on a local estate.
Referring to a previous case report, the letter’s author begins:
“In the article, lawyer Rob Holt stated the N-word is frequently used on the Blurton estate and regularly used as part of the English language. I disagree…My inquiries show ethnic and cultural respect and harmony exists on the estate. I have not witnessed the N-word being regularly spoken anywhere.”
So where did Holt get his N-word ideas from? Surely not his To Kill a Mockingbird-loving colleagues at Atticus Solicitors?
The author continues: “I don’t know if the circles lawyer Rob Holt moves in regularly use the N-word but I don’t find it to be common language.”
