What would you wish to happen to this large dollop of scum?

I suppose it would have been out of character for this poor girl to have turned round and said to this creature, I am not wearing a mask, but you could do us all a favour by removing your ugly mug.

The BBC security guard should be sacked for his remark also, many have been sacked at the BBC for much less.

ooh jj! Why can't I ever think of anything like that. I am not very quick witted and by the time I think of anything the moment has usually passed and I am too late.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH


There. I don't think anyone can top that in the outrage competition which will shortly follow. Hopefully that'll stop it happening.

[FYI, folks: the above is meant to be sarchastic]

[alavahalf]

''Rooney attempted to escape the scene, but she was arrested by police nearby''.

I expect they found her at the nearest kebab shop ... !

Her and her mate should also be charged with LYCRA abuse.

Why do swamp donkey's hang around in pairs...?

You're not very good at it yet then are you Kromo. You have to more subtle than that to claim sarcasm. Good try though.

[Kromovaracun]

See, if I said that in ordinary conversation I probably wouldn't have put the sarchasm comment. But there does seem a regular problem on the internet (and it's come up several times on AB) of people not really detecting it even when it's as obvious as above...

[starone]

Damn, I left out a word, should have been 'be more subtle'. Do you think there is any indication of what she is like in her name? Rooney - hmmnnn!

[joggerjayne]

Why does the picture of that woman and her friend keep making me think of the
Fat Slags cartoon in Viz ??

No need to get shirty Andy, Those were your exact words, not in anyway taken out of context, edited or in any other way distorted to mean anything different than what you wrote.

I am not saying that what you wrote was wrong, in fact there is a certain amount of truth in it, but if one was to use the same excuses when attached to a race attack, it would take on a whole lot of difference, hence my remark.

That whole paragraph could have been removed from your post, without it making any difference to your answer, so reading it through again, surely you yourself can see the implications?

[andy-hughes]

My point - as you clearly understood, but chose to twist in your transaltion - is that people have always been scared and upset by those people who suffer from a physicl deformity of some kind - which has nothing to do with ethnicity, and is an entirely different argument.

As I advised in the following paragraph, which you igonred in your response - there is no excuse for this type of behaviour, howsoever caused.

In the past, others have advised you that you constantly bring race and ethnicity into your arguments, when it is not pertinent to the point being made.

I am beginning to see what they mean.

As for advising me not to 'get shirty' - the pot / kettle interface involved there is so obvious as to need no comment what ever.

[anotheoldgit]

Oh well Andy if you are going to take that attitude, I don't think we have much more to say to each other, except to say that it is you that is twisting words
not I.

/// but chose to twist in your transaltion - is that people have always been scared and upset by those people who suffer from a physicl deformity of some kind ///

Where have you put in the paragraph that you earlier wrote, anything mention of physical deformity?

You clearly said /// any kind of physical difference -///

/// reaction of violence towards anyone we see who is 'different' from us.///

No I still can't see any reference to 'physical deformity'

You chose those words so I just asked you would the same apply to anyone of who had a black face for instance. Since this would construe as being different to anyone with a white face.

Now if you had first put the words 'physical deformity', then that would have been an entirely different matter.

So just because you chose the wrong words, please don't try and wriggle your way out by almost calling me a racist, just because I had to put 'race' into it to get over my point.

I always classed you more highly than some of the usual ABers who are soon to become aggressive at the least opportune moment, but it would seem that you are showing yourself to be no different, in fact you are appearing 'a wolf in sheep's clothing'.

[andy-hughes]

Thank you for your response AOG.

As I see it, I can spend my time debating with you - and indeed defending you very recently - the former of which is rapidly becoming a pointless exhcnage of semantics which takes up valuable space, and advances nothing at all or -

I can continue my contributions on the AB and avoid any direct dialogue with you - whcih always seems to lead to pointless antagonims and meaningless point-scoring.

I shall consider my position.....

OK, conisdered it - I am avoiding this kind of pointless bickering and space-wasting argument from now on.

shocking but the way this country is going, not a real surprise.

Living in Oldham and (very infrequently) visiting the Yorkshire Street area in the evening where this pointless and moronic attack took place, I can honestly say that it doesn't surprise me. It depresses me, but I feel no astonishment at what has happened.

Unfortunately, Oldham and the Yorkshire Street pub scene has become a sick joke. Once dubbed “The Most Dangerous Street in England” by a some national survey, it was inevitable that this sort of hate crime would occur. In my experience, drunken, uneducated morons with no self control, self respect or self awareness of their own physical shortcomings, are multiplying in numbers at a frightening rate.
