Another small minded chav from the ar$e end of nowhere...

Good to know one of his friends knows a black person though, so at least he's not racist.

A certain Man U manager is described as Special

Correct, not racist, by virtue of the fact I work with, am friends with & have served with people of all creeds & religions, some friendships lapsed (lost contact) some current.
Could you say that you have served in conflict with folk of all races & beliefs or are you just another keyboard warrior ?

I would be most surprised if you had the b@!!$ to stand face to face with me & call me a racist.

As for the Civillian Human Resources Admin Clerk *up thread* see Equality & Diversity Advisor for H.M.Forces (forget your username), you will do whatever the Senior Officer in Charge tells you to do, never mind "i would uphold", you are a paper shuffler, not a Judge.

For those not in the know, H.M.Forces uphold absurd trumped-up charges all the time in a Kangaroo Court, often just 4 people in a room, the charging Officer or NCO, the presiding Commissioned Officer, a witness & the accused.
I have been on both sides of the fence of these Kangaroo Courts, witness & accused & I have overheard the stitch ups being hatched in corridors.

Members of H.M.Forces do not have all the privileges of civilians & can face charges that simply do not exist in civvie street which would be roundly laughed at & thrown away outside of that environment.

So, Mr Human Resources, you have joined this merry little bandwagon with an agenda to artificially inflate your status as some sort of High Court Judge & morality demigod, when in fact you are just another ten a penny H.R paper shuffler with no more power than an office administrator, a tick box hero in your own lunch break.
How am I fixed for a travel warrant Clerk !

Regarding my post, while it may have been in bad taste, no racial connotations were intended, taken in the context of the previous post which I responded to in misguided humour.

The context has been roundly ignored by some on this board, as is the post by one of your own regarding "special" Leigh fans.

I am able to moderate myself & as such I shall leave this board in peace.

Oh shut up with the keyboard warrior nonsense. Who I associate with isn't an issue as i'm not the one acting like a racist fool on the internet and if some of your "friends" saw your posts on this thread i'm sure they'd be calling you out also.

Racist and a hard man, who'd have thought it.

Hopefully we won't get the Leigh fans camping on here now till next season, apologies to the good posters amongst them but the few numpties that have hung round here since we were confirmed middle 8's has got quite tiring now. Bring back the Hull, Hudds and Wigan village idiots all is forgiven

No he declared himself ' special '

Entirely different context and meaning as you well know

The fact you are trying to deflect it in some weird way just points to you knowing it was out of order in the same way we have seen others castigated

Double standards my Yorkshire friends
