Following the “inflammatory” statements of Jack Straw made, discrimination and equality are front of mind in the media. We here at Rainier PR like to think of ourselves as very accepting of other peoples beliefs, but I challenge anyone not to be the teensy weensiest bit unnerved by Bruce Potts, a teacher of Public Speaking at the University of New Mexico. I find it hard to imagine people not jumping to conclusions if this bloke were to stroll out for a pint of milk, let alone turn up to present a lecture. However, I accept that it is my shortcomings as a person and that it is me that has to change.
