PURR-LEASE!!

It was not a racist (Anti-German) comment, it was a snide obtuse anti-Alex comment. At no time did it make any generalised derogatory comments about Germans in general, which is what a racist comment would do.

Where is your sense of humour for Christ sake?

I actually don't have a problem with Germany winning the world cup, I wanted them to beat S Korea purely because I thought that S Korea deserved to go out against Italy and Spain and had been assisted by some diabolical decisions by referees and their assistants.

As far as the final is concerned may the best team win.

I don't have a problem with Alex being half German. Having seen his parents on TV I think it is the English half I don't like.

I'll tell you about racism: back in the late 70s I used to live in Brick Lane, a predominantly Asian area of East London, and I used to stand on the corner at the Sunday Morning Market barracking the National Front selling their filth, and me and my mates always got moved on by the police, who let the Nazis peddle their **** with impunity.

These people used to go round beating people up because of their colour and race.

So, having taken my (admittedly rather silly) little joke away, but left in a comment accusing me of being racist, what does it look like? For all anyone knows I could have written anything.

If you felt the need to delete the contribution, you could have e-mailed me with your reasons.

Please leave this mailing in, as I think anyone who may have read your accusation against me but not the original joke may have got the wrong idea.
