Yorke And The Fans

[roversmum]

The bloke who was charged last week with racially abusing Dwight Yorke, Jason Perryman, is in danger of losing his job over it.

The Citizen reports that he has been suspended pending an internal investigation and will know in a few days what his fate will be. His employers are Tesco and they say they will not tolerate racism.

Why don't they send him for therapy or stay at home for a couple of weeks on full pay or some other crazy scam, if Gordon Taylor was his union rep he would probably get a promotion!

I love listening to the English argue against people going into other countries and pushing their systems and customs on the native people...

On the subject of native peoples , have the red indians been completely wiped out yet ? Maybe you should give them their land back

Talking about imposing systems on others it's always seemed ridiculous to me to brand "The English" as imperialists when only about 3% of the population ever benefited from the empire - the rest were either stuck up chimneys , stuck down the mines , stuck in a factory or stuck in some God forbidden foreign hell hole fighting for a pittance .

Maybe it's not surprising then that the ones who have to pay back the "victims" of empire ( generations after the event !) are not the 3% but the poor ba$tard working classes .

Perhaps it's time to the "natives" to stop wingeing and sort their own countries out . If not then maybe I'll be tempted to with my begging bowl to Italy - those damn Romans need to compensate me for their empire . What did they ever do for us anyway .....?

The Red Indians still exist Phil. They have not been wiped out completely yet .........but their spirit has. They live in something called a reservation and are treated a bit like asylum seekers over here I think.

I wonder how many would be living in the ludicrously named land of the free today if the settlers were the ones with bows and arrows whilst the injuns had Winchesters.

Anyway never mind them injuns how did they re-imburse all those black fellas that they imported from Africa? God bless America eh?

Funnily enough , Theno , there was a (black) Yank over there a while ago (American might know of him) who made himself very unpopular with the PC brigade by arguing that the best thing that ever happened to the negro race - in the long term of course- was being transported from Africa into America .

After all the black Americans all seem well fed , well educated , and now in Condi Rice or Colin Powell have a decent chance of providing us all with a future US president .

Back in Africa , things aren't so rosy . Liberia , for example , which was founded by freed slaves , isn't exactly a shining example of peace and harmony .

It would be interesting if there was a US style of the current Brit TV programme where (black) celebs could trace their descendants and living relatives. I bet they wouldn't swap......

And who were the people who started driving the American Indians out of their homelands? We weren't all American from the getgo, most of us were English!

Oh, and they are doing quite alright now, making millions running casinos.

So, Phil, you're saying that more than 3% of all middle eastern are moving into GB? Or does the percent not matter when it is your customs being changed?

I think there is a difference between civiliseing a country and bringing primitive third world customs to a modern western country

There are some paranoid androids on this thread

One groups civilisation is another groups primitiveness...

Just like one person's inciteful comments are another's mornic rantings.

I think there is work for missionarys to be sent out to a few places on this site
