We British used to be reknowned for our sense of humour and our ability to laugh at ourselves. Yet when a couple of overweight, middle-aged football commentators make a few comments along the lines of “whooah, wouldn’t mind a bit of that” and “nah mate, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole”, the politically-correct buffoons are howling in outrage screaming “sexist bigots”. Then, probably because Murdoch (who seems to like younger Asian totty himself) is trying to get more control over our media, one of the men gets sacked to appease the howling mob of self-appointed, self-serving thought police.
The disgrace is not in what the men said, but in the hypocritical reaction of the intolerant fools who want to crush free speech. Anyway, Murdoch owns the SUN with its page 3 tits – isn’t that sexist too? What hypocrisy! What intolerance! What a disgrace! What happened to free speech?
