Oh Dear A Racist Slur And How Dare He On The Eve Of Hillsborough?

This is what Kelvin MacKenzie wrote:

"Perhaps unfairly, I have always judged Ross Barkley as one of our dimmest footballers".

"There is something about the lack of reflection in his eyes which makes me certain not only are the lights not on, there is definitely nobody at home".

"I get a similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo. The physique is magnificent but it's the eyes that tell the story".

"So it came as no surprise to me that the Everton star copped a nasty right-hander in a nightclub for allegedly eyeing up an attractive young lady who, as they say, was 'spoken for".

"The reality is that at £60,000 a week and being both thick and single, he is an attractive catch in the Liverpool area, where the only men with similar pay packets are drug dealers and therefore not at nightclubs, as they are often guests of Her Majesty"

Maybe a little insulting not only to the footballer, but also towards the folk of Liverpool but racist???? No way.

I don't contribute a huge amount to this site, but I do read it regularly and I've noticed that Mikey uses the phrase 'the usual suspects' an awful lot.

Are the usual suspects people that happen to have a different opinion to mikey? And if they are, doesn't that make Mikey incredibly arrogant?

"Usual Suspects" is one of the milder terms of 'endearment' he shows to his opponents.

Deskdiary......my understanding of " the usual suspects" in the news section, are the ultra right wing posters.

[ummmm]

He doesn't use it as much as AOG. In fact I think he copied it off AOG.

As opposed to the fervent left wing commies and the self righteous hand wringing Libz. (^_*)

If that is true, then surely it must mean the Ultra Far-Left posters.

TTT....The reason that I used the "Usual Suspects" on this thread, is that if you know their opinions on the Hillsborough disaster, then its easy to see how they will respond when the Mouth-on-a-Stick Mackenzie opens his big mouth again, and is rude and insulting about Liverpool.

You, for instance TTT, don't agree with the verdicts of the Court about the Hillsborough affair, and so we can't expect you to condemn another of your ilk.

ummm - yes, true. The phrase 'the usual suspects' has been lifted by mikey4444 from others (on the Right) on AB.

They've now switched to using the sobriquet, 'apologist' (sometimes coupled with 'metropolitan elite').

SP....I haven't "lifted" the phrase from anyone. If I have lifted it from anywhere, then it may be from "Casablanca"
