A lot of snowflakes about, just looking to be offended by anything. Total non story on a slow news day.

The snide barb aimed at Hrolf was absolutely unnecessary. Yep.

Wasn't it Mark Bosnich who did a Nazi salute during a game at Spurs. Now that was ill advised. This will all blow over quickly unless Wayne goose-steps out onto the field in his next match. Imagine if he now grows himself a toothbrush moustache but says it's in tribute to Oliver Hardy. The professionally offended would completely lose their s***.

Mountain out of a molehill already. If it was accidental gesture like Wayne explained it’s just unlucky. If it’s a bit of fun with his team mates after a couple of drinks, who really cares? We’ve all told un PC jokes with our mates, it doesn’t mean we are anti-Semitic/racist/sexist etc. Some are too easily offended. If the latter is true, it was a stupid thing for a man of his profile to do in front of a camera. It’s a non story.

Poor old Wayne ! He won't be able to live this down so easily. Endless ribbing and nazi salutes everywhere. Made the front page of the guardian, good to see the national press have their priorities right. Heil Hodgson!!!!

So when we see the hammer and sickle at Labour rallies do we treat Corbyn like Stalin? Robinson has publicly burned a Nazi flag. Muslims are not a race. Robinson gets financial support by supporters.....apparently that's wrong......As opposed to???? Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Jan 2019 11.24am) It is pointless arguing this, but attacking Muslims in the way that Robinson et all have done is cultural racism. He is a convicted criminal but for some reason people choose to believe a convicted fraudster when he says "Fake news!". Calling Muslims 'hook nose' and making racist jokes about pakistanis is not the work of some enlightened mind. I've never met a Stalinist even when I attended some socialist meetings as a teenager, but I agree that extremists sadly permeate both the left and the right, but publicly attacking 1.6 billion people based on cultural stereotypes is the work of a bigot and one who has literally built a mansion out of it. Corbyn has his allotment. Hennessey has the bench.

I agree. If he were cupping his mouth to make himself heard which is what he claimed wouldn't his hand be at the side of his mouth not on top? Maybe, but the photo of him in goal with his arm in the air and his hand over his mouth does cast a doubt, and don't forget this is England, Innocent until proved guilty .

This would make a good game of FA Cup top trumps. If we win in the next round, Wilf should dress up as Jimmy Saville at the meal and then claim that he accidentally fell through the window of a sports shop after someone threw a blond wig at him.

Time to close the thread methinks. From Wayne to Stalin FFS
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

If Wayne is a far-right sympathiser then it's different, but I very much doubt it. However, his handling of it is about as dodgy as his handling of crosses last season though.

I think you'll find my man that if you have to put a qualifier in front of another word.....then you are just playing with terminology......You can't be 'culturally' racist...it's a paradoxical term. Race and culture are two different concepts. Robinson is anti Islamic...especially political Islam..that's accurate. Saying someone's convicted of something and hence I should think lesser of what he says is just immature thinking. There have been plenty of convicted people of many different things.....not an argument. I don't know what the 'hook nose' reference is referring to however I see the context you are using it in. Robinson does have Islamic supporters you know and has sat down and debated with them.....all available to see on video.....I see no hatred in those videos, but I do see you portraying a 'hate' figure here. Apparently if what you attack is believed in by 1.6 billion people then that's wrong.....again, that's a totally fallacious point. All that matters is how accurate what is being said is......For me, I look at society and see Robinson as the only....and I repeat the only pushback to political Islam in this country. The practical end result of your views is the expansion of towns like Savile Town. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Jan 2019 12.35pm)
