Clarion..it is indeed a two way street..and I would expect to be treated in a civil manner irrespective of race

He's not inciting anyone to do anything, Eddie, so leave that BS out.
And, as far as I'm aware, it's not against the law to be racist.

Spicerack,
//it/s not against the law to be racist//
Oh yes it is.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Relations_Act_1965

[ToraToraTora]

ignore the racist phrasing and he's bang on.

[dannyk13]

TTT, the discussion is not about whether what he said was true.It is about the use of racist comment.

[Spicerack]

Year links not working for me, Danny, but if it is, it shouldn't be. And why haven't David Lammy and Dianne Abbot been arrested?

The problem is some are treated better under the law than others seem to be.

"TTT, the discussion is not about whether what he said was true.It is about the use of racist comment. " - it's my discussion danny and I think it's both, even the bloke himself says it's racist and we all agree but strip that away and the sentiments are correct.

I agree AOG... sometimes the world is much too much PC

[Spicerack]

What about Imaliar Brown? She wants white people wiped off the face of the earth and she's never off the BBC.

10 you are right, the UK is afraid to say it and it knows it, it's a one way street with the "ace" cards which is often played by the said population.

//they should keep their big gobs shut. Or keyboards dormant!//
So you don't believe in free speech then?

[Spicerack]

Are you sure you were in the police, Danny?
I say it's not against the law to be racist and you say, it is and point to law against racial discrimination.
Do you not understand the difference?

He complains they don't speak our language. Flipping heck! Listening to him effing and blinding, if that's 'our language', it's just as well they don't!

poor communication abilities and culture differences do not excuse aggression and inappropriate behaviour towards people working in any service industry..or life even...
