Mastermind contestant Kajen Thuraaisingham has entered the record books after posting the lowest ever score on the BBC quiz show.

The 28-year-old answered just five questions correctly – the worst total in the programme’s 37-year history.
You self esteem is likely to take a significant bashing after not only failing on national television, but by being subsequently humiliated in the press for being the worst in 37 years!. Article by Murray Wardrop (Telegraph) 02 Feb 2010

The Kernow branch of the Celtic League complained to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) about the use of the term “inbred” and other mockery of the people of Cornwall in the media.
But the commission said it was powerless to prosecute anyone because under the Race Relations Act, the Cornish did not exist as a separate nationality from the English.

Surely there are better things the EHRC should be considering ?!?!
