Blackbriar 8,568 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) You might accuse him of being insensitive, inconsiderate or just plain boorish, but does it really constitute a 'crime' ? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/paul-gascoigne-faces-police-quiz-7000989 Edited December 14, 2015 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 You shouldnt be pestered for telling the truth. It was probably dark in the civic hall and he probably couldnt see the guard unless he smiled. Theres nothing wrong with the baseball bat of truth... Pity more werent like it.

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Whether you find his comment funny or not, when you strip it down, all he has done is point out that the fella is black - no abuse, no derogatory comments, he didn't even swear ! So, apparently, its a crime to point out that a black man is black....... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Why is it only certain people you can't have a joke with? I've been called an English c**t and townie twat since I've been here. (Many times. ) Who cares? My Mrs is a red headed Mick, and if someone said they didn't see her standing against a white background, she wouldn't care less. Where do we draw the line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
