"Currants Bw..."

[Niall_Quinn]

Had an email today from a muslim lady complaining about a racially motivated comment apparently made towards her on a zoom call. Apparently someone took exception to a comment she made and then referred to all muslims as "you lot"...

Not really sure how to deal with this given the current climate.

Read the policy and I'm supposed to have a hearing with them both. Feel like whatever decision I make at the end of this will be the wrong one.

Tell her to go to a Muslim nation and compare how she's treated there.

sounds like NQ to me, in which case it's clearly a sackable offence

Maybe I'll start running around the place crying 'Mac did this', 'Mac did that'.

Not a dignified look, but it's fashionable.

I say “you lot” to people I know well as a sort of joke, people I know I’ll get away with it.
Wouldn’t say it to someone I didn’t know well.
Depends on the context or how it was meant IMO, TBF, BBQ.

Hes a moron. He left Starmer no choice with his completely idiotic statement he posted on facebook.

Why does it depend on the context? Did she die when she heard it? Did her leg fall off? Did she get cancer? What's the harm that was caused? Action and compensation should work on that basis. You can't go into a court and say your fee-fees were hurt, not yet anyway.

The whole thing's a joke, but people have put up with it for so long it has become habitual. You give "this lot" an inch and they'll take it to ridiculous extremes, and I don't mean Muslims, I mean beta people who never learned "sticks and stones".

They should have to wear a badge that reads, Caution: Easily Offended. Then normal people will know to avoid them.

What did he post? Has he gone back to being a radical now he's not leading? Don't really keep up with this sell-out.

Ah, had a quick read on the fake news BBC, often a useful source to get a quick update on the establishment line.

So, in a nutshell, New Labour is back.

Oh good. Because everyone has missed them a lot.
