Tan calls Whelan a racist. Isn't that slanderous ?

As for "Japfest", I'd rather eat my own testicles than subject myself to such a juvenile Clarkson-esque celebration of far-Eastern horsepower. Are you going?

That's a company with a market capitalisation of more than bn using it. Obviously a reference to the origin of the vehicles rather than a race of people. Plus it's a vile drink. I came across an app for streaming pakistani TV called 'Pakee'. Light-hearted use by the subjects themselves you could argue. I can't see how any of this is relevant however. Even if you dispute that these are slurs, these were compounded by use of derogatory stereotypes by Mackay which were subsequently endorsed by Wheelan. And if we focus on Mackay, these comments were not limited to racism, but were also sexist, anti-semitic and homophobic. It's hardly just the Guardian an its readers who'd agree isn't a very good look for the club and I don't think your employer would really like you talking in the same fashion. Or is that just down to your boss being a massive lefty? Edited by johnfirewall (21 Nov 2014 7.18pm)

Malky and Dave Whelan (estimated wealth 2012 0 million): a marriage made in heaven. Perhaps TUX can be the bridesmaid. TUX, you surprise and disappoint me. I really thought you were better than that.The frightening thing is you don't even realise how inappropriate your comment is. I'm not going to dignify such trash with further comment. Kermit, I appreciate where you are coming from, but, as you know, it is entirely possible for comments by the Whelan/Malky/Tux triumvirate to reflect both ignorance and prejudice. Oh well, must go now. Off to work to try and make money more than anyone of a different religion; its just the inbred way we are Edited by legaleagle (21 Nov 2014 9.22am) DW makes, at worst, a 'stereotypical' comment which I happen to agree with.
