You've just proven my point I'm glad you think so. Anybody else remember that Stewart Lee "Top Gear" sketch? Context is obviously important and I wouldn't criticise the use of language that would deemed controversial or not PC just for the sake of it, it depends on who is saying it the perceived intent behind it. In the case of mumf I felt that he was displaying a homophobic attitude with the intention of trying to demean and wind up huddy which is why I called him out on it.

Absolutely mate, I've witnessed racism against whites first hand in the Stoke education system and it's just as bad as the other way round. Can't be doing with any of it and I'll fight it when I see it whoever the perpetrator/victim is. Will do yes marrer You are unique in the fact that you acknowledge racism works both ways mate and if you do indeed fight it when you see it happeneing both ways as opposed to just one way then fair play to you it's a pity others don't follow your example Oh it absolutely happens the other way round mate. The sex offences in Rotherham for example are clearly racially motivated crimes on a certain level and it's a terrible error of judgement on the part of the authorities to not call it as such more openly. Breeds resentment. Likewise the failure of local and national governments to look after the white working classes for decades. I don't blame Muslims or Islam or immigrants or refugees in general for that stuff though. (Not implying you are doing that necessarily btw ) To me it's all about failure of politicians and authorities who don't care. They've failed people of every creed in various ways and it's all unacceptable. They do it deliberately to stir up resentment, divide and rule.

I'm blaming Islam I'm blaming immigrants and I'm blaming the politicians . No one is exempt from being accountable and all those involved should be brought to justice . That's not to say all muslims are nonces because they clearly aren't and neither are all politicians . Edit . The word "general" is important and I obviously missed that point so I apologise . In which case I agree with you mate .

In which case I agree with you mate . No worries pal. I think it would be fair and not racist at all to say that there's an issue with certain elements within the Islamic community who import values from other countries which are entirely at odds with what we might consider to be "British values". That certainly needs addressing because again it breeds resentment. Pretty much every Muslim I've ever known would dearly love to get rid of the more narrow-minded traditionalist mentality that's an issue in some Islamic communities in the UK.

I need to know before I nominate myself A few things but mainly 1) write tediously long posts that bore folk silly 2) go flakey when this is pointed out 3) start loads of threads on obscure and occasionally, but by no means always, interesting music 4) have multiple characters There will, I'm sure be more.

I think you're wise to withdraw your offer.

I think you're wise to withdraw your offer. That there is no obvious reward did for a second, just for a second, make me question if there really has been numerous **************'s on here. But I think that the notoriety he has, that he is a running theme on here, is probably the reward he needs.

What a load of shit again, the racism is in your mind yet when another poster stated some schoolgirls who happened to have some Asian heritage looked like they belonged in Pakistan or that they weren't english or british (I forget which) because the population of London was only xx% white british, I can't quite remember if you said fuck all or were one of those arguing that there was nothing wrong with what was said

I think you are talking about me (again). A few things you've misrepresented (again). I never mentioned that schoolgirls belonged anywhere, I actually said that a school looked like it belonged in Bangladesh due to there not being a single white face in the picture, obviously this lack of racial diversity deserves a visit from Mrs Obama. In your head this is racism! I believe that using derogatory terms about a group of people due to the colour of their skin is racist, which is what you did, and got yourself a warning. What was that warning score again, you 1 (at least) me 0. I'm more than happy to disagree with you, so that you don't have to continually dredge up your past faux pas, have a mini ************** type meltdown and then stomp off to have a chat about cricket. Probably the best course of action would for us both stop bringing it up?
