Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Mr. Zucchini Head"
There is appalling racism and bigotry that still goes on the world, but it gets lost amongst trivial rubbish like this, or by Amber Rudd referring to someone as coloured rather than black'"
No, racism on any level is unacceptable, it’s not trivial rubbish and Amber Rudd was wrong to call people coloured
Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Armavinit"It’s a damned good job that hot weathers gone or you would have melted. Snowflakist is becoming the new racist. '"
If objecting to racism on any level makes me a snowflake then so be it
Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="MGarbutt1986"But, taking the positive, his back pedalling on (and many other) threads means the butter is churned and the mangles has been in overdrive.'"
I am not back peddling, I was just clearing up my original point which I still stand, perhaps I should of been a bit clearer with my point 1st time round
Quote Mr. Zucchini Head="Riderofthepalehorse"Or perhaps the original poster was linking Calderwood to Naulago, due to both having Rugby union backgrounds, both being wingers, with a bit of speed. As far as I am aware as an old codger, I’ve never known anyone who cares what colour creed or religion our players are, your link to racism was was unnecessary, and at best misguided. “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”'"
I won’t be making an apology. Both been wingers, all wingers have speed, one who stopped playing 10 years ago, I questioned why they had been compared. Calderwood doesn’t have a union background, he signed at Leeds from Stanningley as a kid. I can’t see how that is the same as a bloke that has left the army and union 7’s to take up league.
