So Boyle making jokes about City would also be funny?

Yes,if they were funny,and he delivered them well.
Because anything can be funny.
That's the whole point of not censoring comedy.

Yes.
Although if we told it on here,the code of conduct would apply.
That wouldn't apply in the real world,however.
At least that's my take on it.

Ric is entitled to run the forum how he wants. He's pretty liberal as forums go.

No - racism is not a criminal offence.

The Government today warned Sepp Blatter that racism is a criminal offence in Britain ahead of his visit to the London Olympics next year.
Sports Minister Hugh Robertson hit out as the Fifa president faced calls to quit after he said footballers who suffer abuse on the pitch should settle disputes with a handshake.

Racism is not a crime, racially-aggravated crimes and incitement to racial hatred, are. Making racist statements, so long as they do not intend, or are not likely to, incite racial hatred, is not criminal. Certainly making racist jokes - where the intent is comedy, is not a criminal offence.
