The most obvious racist use of the term I know of recently is by Boris Johnson - Africans and their "watermelon smiles".

I didn't know about  this so looked it up and found he also referred to "crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies".  The man really is an odious piece of shite.

I quite like "Premiership" purely because it is a thumb in the eye to the sponsors. "You may call it the Barclays Premier League but despite all that money it hasn't registered with us so we call it what it used to be called" type of thing.

Hmm, honourable intentions Pat but it doesn't really work. It's only ever been the Carling Premiership, Barclaycard Premiership and Barclays Premiership, so not really doing down the sponsors.

The only times that it's been without sponsor were the first season (FA Premier League) and next season / potentially beyond (Premier League)

Anybody who wants to call it the First Division is fine in my book. Just not the f*cking Premiership.

Funnily enough Dave I was stopped half an hour ago by somebody doing market research on beer of all things. After a few questions re brand recognition I was asked about that shite Coors advert with JC Van Damme and told her I thought it was for Miller Lite, just to skew the stats negatively for them. I know my lone voice wont ruin their brand but every little helps.

Blimey. In what context?

The context of him being a fucking twat that will say and do anything to any demographic to get a bit of attention and further his own cause.

The fact that he can utter these verbal turds without anyone in the mainstream media apparently challenging him on it says far too much him about both the blonde haired ****** and the British media unfortunately.

As I replied to a relatively new poster as few days ago; staying on topic is not one of our strong points.

Is there anything takeover-wise worth reading in the past 20 odd pages or is it mainly just racist chickens ?

My point exactly VID.  You are branded the misfit if you don't buy into the lie that Boris Johnson is just a funny guy having a bit of fun.

I have no doubt that he's having a lot of fun.

Taking the piss out of 65 million people and those that see through can't do much about it, whilst those that think that you're funny don't realise the joke's on them must be an absolute hoot.

If I was so inclined in that situation I'd be pissing myself laughing.

Crikey, just looked up what 'piccaninny' means. Boris is odious.

On FFP. Don't the big boys get round it anyway by sponsoring their stadiums and such like for exhorbitant sums.

I resent the very obvious link you are making between overt racism and being fair haired, you Blondist.

Has explaining the offside rule to a woman now become an offence under "Mansplaining"?

If this was any other area of 'public service' he'd be sacked... teacher, police officer, social worker. Politicians live by different rules, but only because we let them.

It's also a class thing, if a police officer drinks on duty he gets sacked, yet barristers go to the pub at lunchtime, come back reeking of beer and conduct serious and sensitive trials, including cross examinations of rape victims, murder suspects etc after a few pints.

My objection to that description, ViD, is that it makes him sound a much more agreeable person than he actually is. If the great British public ever elect him as Prime Minister, they get what they deserve.
