are they all "piss poor"?

:think:

But I do trust the council who say that no such incident has been recorded, rather than some bloke selling a non-story to try and make some money :thumbs:

:joker:

The fact that there's no statement from the council on the matter, usually if a representative acts out of line and it gets press attention then the council will comment on it. The fact that this article only covers one side of the story suggests that it didn't happen.

It's basic journalism, LT, you get both sides of the story and report on it. Stories that only cover one side are always suspect.

Did that satisfy your soul?

Does it satisfy your soul to call people cowards who don't see brown skin and use it as an excuse to hate on a whole religion?

And that's the problem, an outright attack on liberty.

And the main culprits are modern day Liberals who are letting down liberty.

Now it's gone from just a general bigot to an actual racist

Anymore?

You're having a good of feeding your addiction.

It's not an attack on liberty! It's to prevent trouble and the bar staff having to deal with it?!

We have laws to deal with trouble. Not oppression.

I think its a great shame that our flag has been sullied. If I'm honest, people wearing jackets like that do make me nervous but its only because I've been privi to the regular far right protesters walking through central London all wearing our flag like a uniform.

People should be able to wear the union jack without being thought of as a racist but people also have to accept that if they do wear the flag, people may misjudge them.

Its a difficult one.

Your victim complex is showing.

I'm only using what you have said. Nothing more, nothing less.

The law doesn't prevent trouble. It may deal with troublemakers after the trouble has happened, but it will not prevent it.
Asking pub goers not to wear football tops or flags does. That's why a lot of landlords have this rule.

He was told to take off his valuable Mod-style Barbour jacket - designed in honour of legendary rock band The Who - by officials who appeared to be council enforcement officers.
Its clearly the work of fiction

Trust the Council?:hehe:


Why would they record a conversation?

not council workers worried about blame shock

GiRTh 13-02-2016 06:29 PM

Shocking journalism

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 13-02-2016 06:30 PM

Ok this one is too far. There's nothing racist about the British flag. Unless, I don't know the full story. But there's nothing wrong with what he's wearing...apart from it looks terrible.:conf:

I'm just saying that you called me a coward in that other thread for not hating on a religion that ultimately had nothing to do with that thread but was brought up because the people who committed those acts just so happened to have brown skin.

You're just acting like a hypocritical victim because I've caught you out.

Vicky. 13-02-2016 06:36 PM

I always thought these stories were just bull****...

Congratulations, good catch.


I'm just regretful that I've filled your ego, I'll learn from that lesson.
