Liverpudlian bus driver who was fired after boss used "Harry Enfield"
 
Was a long Debate
on GBNewsHD, last night.


I hope it goes on GMBHD itv
in the morning.


[Liverpudlian bus driver who was fired
after he accused his Scottish
boss of racism when she mimicked
Harry Enfield's 'calm down, calm down'
'Scousers' sketch, loses employment tribunal

Antony Ryan, 43, was offended
when his boss mimicked Harry Enfield sketch
Liverpool-born Mr Ryan complained
it was 'racism' and took two days off work
Mr Ryan was sacked by Shetland-based
coach company for unauthorised leave
Employment tribunal found the jibe
wasn't racist and not a reason to skip work
]




So Glad he lost his appeal,



Harry Enfield is a Legend.

Yes that's what the worker
failed to understand.


It is great his Scottish Boss
can have a laugh.

Good job she didn't say the Waynetta Slob catchphrase of "I am smoking a fag" or he'd have claimed homophobia.

Lots of people say "calm down, calm down!" in a silly voice, I never realised it was a Harry Enfield thing! With the way some things culturally osmosotise, I wonder if other people use it without knowing where it's from.

But anyway, the bus driver was obviously trying it on.

Fair, they fired him.
