Wednesday_Jack Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Is this a joke from April fools day?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Speaking as an 'English B********' I dont consider that offensive and certainly not a Police Matter. Unless they is something more in this that has not been reported then I think this is ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wing Back Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 How long before someone gets a ban for shouting 'Scouse/Cockney/Geordie etc B*stard?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much it has cost to put this “racist” through court etc… to receive this banning order. I am sure there are much more pressing issues to resolve rather than a pissed up kid shouting English followed by a naughty swear word. if this is the direction society is heading then there isn’t much hope left. I didn’t realise we had become this sensitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Us" English are not a race Very true...English refers to the ethnicity of a group of people and refers to a broader range of people i.e. a nation. Race is refers to much smaller groups of people with cultural beliefs and inherited physical traits. I just feel the situation is beyond silly (hence me initially thinking it was a joke of some sort)!! I didn't realise we had become such a sensitive bunch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 100% not so please do not cast aspersions its dangerous and it simply isn't called for!! You have effectively called me a racist.

You have effectively called me a racist. No I haven't! I've just asked you a simple question based on your posts so that you can clarify, because so far every post you've made in the thread is questioning a racist being nicked Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are much more pressing issues to resolve within the country and to spend tax payers money on, rather than sending a pissed up football fan to court for shouting something that is barely offensive never mind racist!!! Do you know how much is costs to put people in court? I actually do and its frightening. My point being it is a total waste of money in this instance, its such an irrelevant situation and incident. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Us" English are not a race Black isn't a race Muslim isn't a race Pakistani isn't a race I think it's fairly well established that they can be victims of racism for those characteristics As can countless other nationalities, religions, ethnicities, cultures Some anthropologists argue there is only one race- the human race 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read your posts where you are saying you'd rather spend money NOT prosecuting racists being illegally racist and just let em carry on doing it I'd fully agree 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Baffles me why, when people see a story of someone getting done for being a racist they don't just say 'Yeh.. serves them right for being racist' I couldn't think of a single instance where I'd stop and say 'whooooh hang on there. Why has that racist got nicked?? That's not fair' etc etc 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not fair' etc etc It's because there is quite clearly a significant percentage of the targeted population that feel the offence doesn't fit the punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
