I actually wrote it thinking I would be tame as I don't want pb to pounce on me and play the racist card and be offended. I witnessed a Jewish family nott pay decent working class lads year after year after year and quite simply there conduct was evil. That's is the truth and perhaps why I am not ruling out some truth in a stereotype. In this case it is political correctness gone mad. Anyway I am not in the mood for a race row but surely there is a line where opinion has to be allowed????

You've done exactly what Whelan did. Instead of keeping his big mouth shut, he opened it and made things worse. You may have had a bad experience working for a Jewish company (although since our run-in over Hillsborough I take anything you say with a very large pinch of salt) but does that mean that all such people are like that?

What other offensive stereotypes would you like to share with us while you're feeling the need?
All black people are drug deakers and criminals?
All Asians/gay men are paedophiles?
All Muslims are terrorists?

Lest we forget the sheep shagging Welshman and the thick Irishmen.

What have the Romans ever done for us?

Any update on Dave's poorly leg?

The broken leg one has apologised now.

I see that "Kick it Out" are now questioning whether he is "fit and proper" enough to run a football club.

He was sweating and shaking like a shitting dog on the news an hour ago

Yer live 'n learn on this forum. I never knew dogs sweated when they had a shit. How can yer tell?

Again, demonstrates how out of touch the FA are, English managers are and old cunts who run football clubs that being Dave Whelan. Whilst it's not great to see somebody be racist, I'm glad Dave Whelan is receiving a grilling from the press and media. About time this loud mouthed twat had got what he deserved. He will now learn to keep his senile gob shut.

I don't understand the use of the phrase "politically correctness gone mad" when in the context of defending lazy ignorant sterotypes.

Lots of people I know have not bought their share in a round, but when one of the scottish blokes gibs out, its because he's scottish and it's "polical correctness gone mad" to not be able to suggest that it's his inherent scottishness that makes him stingy at the bar!

Worsely, you've got to see it...at least watch Stewart Lee's rant...

He will never keep his mouth shut, he has been so used to being a top business man over the years, using oratory skills. Now he is in the spotlight and under pressure he just keeps running to the media in an attempt to put things right,utilizing the skills he has always relied upon...his communication skills-but he just keeps putting his foot in it.

Far better for him to just shut the fuck up ,put his ego to one side, stop referring to wigan as "my wigan, my club" like some little mid west red neck village which time forgot..
use some of that business acumen and employ a PR/MEDIA spokesman and take a step back from the limelight

Everytime he opens his mouth shit comes out, and he is digging a much deeper hole than there need be.

Dave Whelan is out of order with his comments which I find offensive.

I am however getting a little uneasy at how this country is starting to repress free speech, launch witch hunts against
individuals who are deemed to be permanently beyond the pale (Ched Evans tonight) and revoke centuries old legal
practices such as double jeopardy. When I was at university the Students Union had a policy of no platform for
Fascists which I was appalled by. If you want to show that somebody is a fool then give them the opportunity to
prove it by opening their mouths. As long as people are not inciting violence then let them speak. Not allowing
people to express their views however misguided is itself fascism however well intended any ban may be.
It's a slippery slope we're on in this new pc world. Nobody was allowed to crack jokes about Hitler in Germany
or Stalin in the Soviet Union were they? Rant over.

It's not about repression It's just about the fact that moral people don't behave in a way that subjects anyone to abuse based on where or what they come from. Banter is fine but there is a very thin line when it comes to race/religion or whatever and understandably so because people cannot change who they are.

I'm all for free speech but free speech is in place to protect our values not to allow people to try and push their own misguided ones forward as a result. Hilters Germany couldn't crack jokes about Hitler but then you are comparing our society now to one of a genocidal maniac who murdered millions of people based purely on their religion/race, there is quite a difference.

There is a reason we have a justice system and there is a reason everyone in the eyes of it is considered equal, it's because they are equal. This has nothing to do with free speech, Mackay said something he shouldn't have and now Whelan has compounded it, there is just no reason to say it and it's made worse because ultimately whilst everyone is mithering over what Whelan and Mackay have said it is the victim who suffers at the end of the day.

Whether it is PC or not is not for anyone to decide but the victim and if you want to avoid getting into trouble, you keep your gob shut, that is what Whelan and Mackay have failed to do so it is completely their own fault.

When watching DW's apology did nobody think of that episode of father ted with the chinese and he does the powerpoint?
