just to set the record straight it was ferdinand who tweeted cole was a “choc ice”, he was fined £45k by the fa.

pfft, potato/ potatoe.

The only racist character of the insult was the suggestion that it is bad to be like a white person inside.

and that’s all right is it cos it was an insult about being white?

Well obviously. That’s what I said isn’t it ?

Its annoying when folk misrepresent what you say eh ernie 😛

Not at all. It amuses me greatly.

but I’ve no idea what the hell you’re talking about now.

You should know by now, that’s business as usual for this place.

Superb a genuine belly laugh from me 😀

And which part of the UK did you visit in order to establish what is a representative ethnic mix?

Indeed! My secondary school, of 900 people, had a Chinese chap, a guy from Japan, and a bloke of Nigerian descent. Everyone else was white.

So, Top Gear guests are actually far more enthnically diverse than a state school in 1990s Surrey.

Sounds just like mine, also Surrey also the 90’s

What if STW was a TV show?
What would the audience look like?

I see some amazing cars on my travels, esp the older ones, often owned by asian lads 😀

Sorry! Wasn’t meant that way at all. Smiley obviously required 😆

No, Therfield, Leatherhead.

That’s ok, you had me worried I had schizophrenia, and was unaware.

Maybe you do, and the other personality went to a different school.

Yeah but didn’t the guy wearing the turban like the mondeo st220 though ?

500 posts and still wibbling strong!

WIBBLE!

What was the question again?

What was the question again?

I think it was …

“What tyres for pretending, someone I don’t like, is racist?”

He does a fairly good impression this that negates any need my need to pretend.
As far as I can tell we only seem to be discussing how often he does it as to when this means he is a racist. no one is denying he makes racist comments on a regular basis…mainly because he does.
How about

What tyres for deny the blindingly obvious fact staring me in the face that I dont want to accept 😈

I haven’t read the whole thread, so we’ve probably already done this, but why is Clarkson saying “Catch a mumble mumble by the toe” any worse than all the newspapers writing “Catch a n****r by the toe”?
Everyone knows the missing word, so what’s the difference?

I haven’t read the whole thread

Well. Can I suggest that you DO then?! I know there’s a lot of pages, but honestly there is not a lot of content.

Graham your are 15 pages to late for your troll/question

Dez dont do yourself down I seem to recall one of your posts almost said something usefull 😉

Where?! Jeez, I need evidence of that..

Can I suggest that you DO then?!

That’s the irony of threads like this though.
It starts out as just another Top Gear thread, so I ignore it.
By the time it gets to 15 pages, I’m intrigued as to how such a trivial incident can spark a 15 page debate, while at the same time, I only have a casual interest, so I’m not dedicated enough to read 15 pages of debate about such a trivial incident.

Just a brief summary would do.
Did anyone flounce or get banned?

I only have a casual interest, so I’m not dedicated enough to read 15 pages of debate….

These threads aren’t for the fainthearted, they require a certain level of dedication. You can’t expect those who have put their heart and soul into the debate to simply provide the johnnies-come-lately “a brief summary”.

These threads aren’t for the fainthearted, they require a certain level of dedication.

And you Ernie, have got it! (any excuse!)

Fair enough, I guess I’m just not cut out to be a Big Hitter.
