That 'Fit and Proper?' book will need an update....

But why? Anyone with half a brain cell knows that there is absolutely no link. And those who don't get it are too fucking thick to be reasoned with

To be linked to ‘dodgy money’ is fine but showing a potential link to supporting terrorist atrocities is beyond the journalistic pale.....and yes I know, no one believes the BBC blew up the towers.

They'll be frothing at the mouth in the Mississippi back country over this, that and Obamas birth certificate.

Isn’t this a bit racist just similar to the Bin Laden reaction

People who live in Mississippi aren't a race of people.

Queue BBC first beclowning itself by promoting this angle of coverage and then ... cut to BBC blaming it all on viewers/footy fans for being "racists" or some such ... you can't make this stuff up.

It was appropriately sandwiched yesterday between a lead story on racism, and a story on the rise of hate crime...



At least they didn’t take the Fox News approach of doing a split picture of Osama and the Prince, implying a closer connection.

As you know the original comment was about white people from Mississippi assuming they all had the same views which I maintain is racist just like people who assume all Arabs are terrorises

He never said anything about them being white.

Just a generalised observation that people in that part of America get angry about the things they see in Fox News.

I don't think it's racist. There's people of all sorts of races live in the Mississippi Delta including people whom I believe still speak French as that area was once under French rule.

As someone who has lived in the South of the USA, I do feel I am familiar with the views of sections of society in that part of the world.

Funnily I too have lived in a southern state; Virginia. I found lots of people who views on race I disagree with and found profoundly disturbing. I also found many who were tolerant and wanted a just society for all. People of all races and creeds belonged in both camps.
I just find it bemusing that people who complain of racism and ignorance can casually throw out generalised insults.

P.S. Apologies about incorrect style of posting. This is due to my fat fingers and ignorance of posting etiquette

Thank you for defending me. It's not nice being accused of something like that.

It might be bit of a crass comment, but I don't see how it's Racist.

Apologies. I did not want to imply you were racist.

I'm off out tonight to egg Peter Sutcliffe's parents windows.

Wanna come?

Your post count makes me highly doubt that.

I think it’s a little naive to say Osama Bin Laden and the family that formed part of his upbringing are entirely separate entities.

Didn't he attend Arsenal games while he was being educated in London?

That would mean George Graham and Tony Adams are partly responsible for 9/11.

“Beclowning” what a fantastic word!!

@realDonaldTrump: So sad that Sheffield owner praising 9/11 TERRORIST Bin Laden family, an insult to our great nation. This Prince clearly bad for the UK. Chris Wilder good guy.

Trump: "Tutton is a great guy. Make him chairman."
