Sinclare should not be given a platform to spew out his racist hatred . He should be sacked never to return to any form of media again . It's not the 1st time he's had a racist rant .

None of us like what he said, but we have freedom of speech in this country. Do you want everyone sacked if they say something you disagree with and would you like to see nut jobs picketing his house as with JK Rowling? The best way to show disapproval is to boycott any show he is on, then his employers can make their minds up when viewing figures fall off the cliff.

It's no longer Talksport - it's 100% TalkQueen (just as Sky Sports News has become totally Sky Queen News) Every guest who comes on tells us how correct it is to cancel the footie. Nobody dare suggest that it might be wrong to do so other than presenter Hugh Woosencroft. Hope he keeps his job. His guest, Perry Groves, told us that ALL the Arsenal fans he has met agree with the footie cancellations. I quickly went to a couple of Arsenal Forums and found almost 100% Gooner fans are against cancellation. They are as upset as we are here. Basically, the power-that-be are trying to brainwash us into showing respect by missing our sports. Thank god for the forums telling the truth about what fans actually think.

I'm wondering if this weekend's programme was cancelled because the PL didn't trust the scousers to respect any silence before the game.

But is he not posting again, above? And what an addition - just saying his tweet was 'ill timed', ie he has no qualms about the ridiculous content of his message. Fuckin prick!

He’s back, clearly. With a deletion of that tweet, and an apology Tweet.

I find that the people who obsess over 'freedom of speech' are the very first to condemn anyone who says something they disagree with.

'Freedom of speech' now means 'Everyone should be free to say stuff I agree with.'

That's exactly the position of Trump and his supporters. Any and every outrageous lie and smear is justified by 'freedom of speech' and the 1st Amendment. Except if someone says something they don't like.

We do indeed have freedom of speech but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have consequences.

What if somebody makes a racist comment at the football or a nasty comment towards gay people at work? is that ok because we have freedom of speech? Shouldn't they be banned or sacked?
