I'm actually genuinely surprised the police haven't got involved in this. Yet.

It is racist abuse no matter how you slice it.

Some people don't regard Gypsies as an Ethnicity.
They are.

The amount of posters that flatly do not accept the law here is quite something.

Half a full page of sactimonious twaddle by Matt Dickinson in today's Times, sorry I can't post a link and just for added laughs, Dickinson accuses EJ of bringing a 'convict mentality' - how's that for hypocrisy ?!

:censored: stop encouraging the poster who sledges the English at every opportunity, and who, BTW, I complained to the moderators about - on the grounds he/she was as abusive about the English as he/she alleges the English are about the Welsh. Total sodding hypocrite IMO.

This is an affair that brings out the worst in everyone EXCEPT Marler, Lee and Gatland who have behaved in a human, generous, sporting and humble manner.

Can we have less of the 'PC brigade' rubbish too? Along with the fatuous ''Elf and Safety', both the only refuge of the simple-minded and (generously) possibly misinformed.

From what I've read, Jones and Gatland feel exactly the same and I suspect Lee and Marler too, the fact it's still ongoing is just pandering to the PC brigade, to whom we must all stand up!!
Thanks Soggypitch. I think I must be race blind as I see each instance on its own merits without putting it into a box. I can't help thinking that those who do put such distinct labels on these things either have an axe to grind, a chip on their shoulder or some sort of guilt complex that they are trying to share (force on) the rest of us.

Are you suggesting that middle class white Anglo Saxon males are never discriminated against or that they should be discriminated against and not allowed to make comment?

As I said earlier, equality looks like oppression to the privileged.

It was drivel then and it's drivel now. Separate but equal is always a myth whoever propagates it.

This thread was already ridiculous after a couple of pages. Now it's just farcical and repetitive.

I've done my best to explain to the ignorant why it is right that Marler's behaviour is being challenged, but it seems there are many on here not prepared to listen to reason. They prefer to defend their right to insult people, or something...

Then you get the same tired old "PC Brigade, liberal, Guardian reading do-gooder leftie" comebacks that are the preserve of the knuckle draggers who comment on Daily Mail stories.

Rinse and repeat. I'm out.

Shame, you've still not explained how you consider Gypsy boy unacceptably offensive and English pig dog side splittingly funny. I'm sure you know the word for it. It also applies to what you've just written, along with a few other words. I just don't understand how you don't seem to see it.

Who's called someone an English pig dog? I don't remember laughing at that.

I've explained that it's never okay to use someone's race or ethnic origin as an insult. I don't know how I can be any clearer to you. Hence why I'm out.
