Re: Liam Williams at it again...
Heard his pet sheep was offended when he sang Baa Baa black sheep to her as well. As punishment he has been denied all access for 3 months by the courts operating under ovinia law. Apparently though the sheep herself is appealing the decision citing loneliness concerns. She simply wanted an apology and a confirmation that she will only be physically imposed on going forward.
Causing offence under ovinia law is considered to be quite serious and some say he could have faced an order of death, which would be carried out by forcing large amounts of wool down the throat. By all accounts the sheep community are siding with the offended member and unusually are not taking to the streets to demand stern justice.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Re: Liam Williams at it again...
Anyone remember maverick tennis player Ile Nastase? He was teamed up with Arthur Ashe once in a pro doubles game and came on to the court blacked up. A.A was not amused.
Like Nasty, poor wee Liam is guilty only of being thick as champ in delf boul.

Thought it might be an actual story rather than white middle classes once again morally policing the rest of us by getting all offended on their high horses at the expense of the bewildered.
Absolutely correct.
Merely the current incarnation of "progressive" Nu Puritans from a long line of sanctimonious, witch-finder generals [formerly religious types; btw every religion has them] who've always loved telling us sinners how to act,think and feel.
Puritanism. The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.

The white middle classes? Who is actually offended? Anyone on here actually sought the views of those 'mocked' by this stunt? Are we just deciding amongst ourselves that this is now permissible?UlsterNo9 wrote:GLENN CORNICK wrote:bazzaj wrote: Oh fecken hell!

I have my own tv channel, what have you got?
Re: Liam Williams at it again...
Clearly people have been offended as was deemed newsworthy enough for the BBC to report it, the majority of whom are white and middle class and apologies have been issued subsequently.
Indeed are our politicians are no different who regularly preempt offence on peoples behalf.
I will say it before and I will have to say it again, just because you are offended doesn`t make you right.
Get on your horse about child slavery or human trafficking but a kid blacking up to look like a football hero???
Seriously if you see a life grab one if that genuinely upsets anyone.
Go put angst energy behind something actually worthwhile.

Re: Liam Williams at it again...
Show me some evidence of white middle classes being offended, not that it is relevant or something I care about. All I can see is the white middle classes getting arsey about criticism of a public figure doing something he should know better of. It's feck all to do with anyone being offended. There are multiple campaigns trying to tackle racism in Britain and this type of stunt by a public figure is unhelpful. He gets 5 mins of public shame and doesn't do it again and we all move on.bazzaj wrote:Clearly people have been offended as was deemed newsworthy enough for the BBC to report it, the majority of whom are white and middle class and apologies have been issued subsequently.

Re: Liam Williams at it again...
My point is it doesn't even warrant 5 seconds of shame Dave, which is ironically significantly less time than I have spent rubbishing this farce.
This is why I am spending no more time on the sorry subject and bidding you a very Merry Christmas.
