British Leyland Chairman Sir Richard Dobson resigned over remarks he made about ”wogs”. The controversial words were spoken during a speech to business men at a privets lunch. He said ”Who would have thought that the Daily Mail would have the bloody nerve to bride somebody 5,000 to reveal the documents which turned out to be forged – in order to accuse the company of the perfectly respectable fact that it was bribing wags?”
