Following the booing which accompanied David Beckham winning an award at the high profile multicultural media awards, the Emmas, organisers hastily decided to drop the lifetime achievement award which had been slated for the show, and which was to be given to the former football manager Ron Atkinson.

"Ron's done a lot for the black community" said a spokesperson, "and we felt this should be recognised - especially given the bad publicity he has recevied recently".

Atkinson is response is said to have openly wept when he recevied the award - drying his eyes on the white robe he was wearing he sobbed:"I never knew the niggers loved me so much" before adding "to everyone who came down from their tree to vote for me, I'm very grateful".

Not everyone was so concilitary however, comedian (sic) Jim Davidson was said to be outraged that he had not received an award and as a result said that he may not do his infamous Chalky routine ever again.

In contrast Roy Chubby Brown laughed and punched Bernard Manning in the face, Mr Damian's personal highlight of the evening.
