As a fully paid up member of Britain (Australia branch), I resent calling the dog Digger. It is surely a slur on the fine fighting men of Australia by comparing them to a mangy black lab wot pissed everywhere.

As Jackson is a New Zealander I can only surmise that the sub-text in this inglorious slur is to continue the trans-Tasman slanging match by using the name in a derogatory sense. I think that Jackson should be blackballed.

Yours,

Disgruntled, Australia.
