It's not even actually racist. Just obnoxious and stupid though was, obviously, racialist (aggravated) which is what he got done for.

If this had been the 1970's half of ITV would have been locked up by now.

What a joke. One or two around here have said much worse than this. He was just having a laugh not mocking appearance or culture. Even if taken the wrong way, I'm very uncomfortable with this going to the courts.

I get sad whenever I read a story about Gazza or see a photo of him. His life is a story that likely isn't going to have a happy ending. Episodes like this one don't help him.

That's what really grates my carrot - I hate when people get offended on other people's behalf. If the guard in question had an issue, that would be one thing, but if the victim just lets it slide (and probably just thinks "what a d1ck" then who are the do-gooders to deem it offensive.

Its the lack of proportion that concerns me. I think its ok to be 'offended on behalf of others' but proportion has to be a factor in that. Something's are just unacceptable, like a judge saying a rape victim 'should keep her knees togeather' etc.

But if its something minor, why get the police involved.

By these standards Bernard Manning would have been sentenced to about 500 years in prison.

The law has lost the plot.

And unknown to many, he provided financial assistance to a young sick Asian child so he could get treatment in the USA.Was just a stage act with Manning.

I recall seeing him perform in 'Crystals' many years ago.Bob 'The Cat' Bevan was also on the Bill.
