Hi all - we do understand that this thread is highlighting an important issue, but unfortunately it has caused quite a lot of offence. We do think it's best to remove it.

Hi Toads - it was quoting a post we had deleted for containing multiple words we don't allow on Mumsnet. We can change the message over to "withdrawn" to reflect this.
