Kick it Out Campaign

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Get a room you pair of bumders.

Indeed. What a couple of sad old Dad rock bores. Or should that be Grandad rock for Percy?

Your secret is safe with me, Percy.

That was my point exactly when you advised me, very correctly, last year not to repeat the name of the young asian man who was dragged across the concrete floor between the seats last year at the Emirates by a large group of "security" stewards and police and stood on while they handcuffed him for lighting a cigarette after the final whistle.   They would not have done it to white anglo-saxon heterosexual able bodied males like my sons and me.

He was titchy and had a dark brown skin and a broad Brummie accent.   It is called "low hanging fruit" by the forces of law and order.

[olaftab]

Well he did commit two crimes. Got what he deserved IMO!

Edited: well  three actually as he had a brummie accent as well!

[Legion]

Lighting a cigarette and what else?

[olaftab]

Lighting a cigarette and what else?

Huh... Dark skin silly!

[brian green]

Shouting to the other Villa fans to witness the way he was being treated.

I bet he hasn't had a crafty cigarette at a stadium since, though.

Low hanging fruit is also used by many other people who prefer not to say easy pickings. It's certainly not an expression exclusive to the police.

[brian green]

Of course Lizz but I have heard it used on more than one occasion by serving police officers and my point is that such an expression may be acceptable vernacular in everyday speech but applied to law enforcement it is in my opinion, to use the current cliche, inappropriate language.

I think they would Riss.

Not everybody of course, but some. And he's right about JG as well.

Percy will remember the bloke two rows behind us who always prefaced every insult towards Houllier with the word 'French.'  It's the old adage - a black lad playing up is a black lad playing up but a white lad playing up is just a lad playing up. 

It just depends who the majority is. At a school in Jamaica it would be the other way round. There's nothing necessarily insidious about it.
