Point of Order "theRock69"- re the Ron Atkinson comment.

Is it not limitation of free speech to deny Racists the oxygen of free publicity?

This seems like political correctness gone mad!!

To censor racism, holocaust denial and other things of the ilk not only sustains credence of such people's victimhood, it also perpetuates their myth of martyrdom, only sustaing their ignorance that in the clear light of day and reasoned debate would be exposed for all to see.

I for one, would like a the Ron Atkinson comment back on the list.

(I in no way imply, nor should you infer that any esteemed member/adminstrator of this forum is racist, anti-semitic or a Chelsea supporter)

I wasn't denying him his freedom of speech - I've no problem with him defending Ron Atkinson or opening a new thread calling the criticism of Big Ron over the top. However in a list of why we don't want England to win the world cup I think the comment that "their treatment of Ron Atkinson" is a little rich. There are plenty more reasons to wish ill on England than that. I am happy for a debate on Ron's perceived racism to take place on the board and will endeavour not to curtail anyone's right to free speech - racist or otherwise. If whyohwhy really wants to include it then he can throw it up again and I won't interfere. The main reason I edited his post was to get rid of Commonwealth Games as we already had it.

[eamo]

Think we are at 225

225. Londonderry
226. BBC Newsline presenters apart from Noel Thompson

230. Angie the weather reader on Newsline (sat hello to little Cedrick in Newtownards... fcuk off)
231. Ladettes
232. Pete Doherty (Who t'hell is he? Who cares anyway?)
233. No blacks no Irish
234. Rubbish players declaring for Ireland (Alex Bruce - I dont think that England will come calling so I have decided to play for Ireland instaed)
235. Alan Hansen (the only person in the world that wants to be English)

Fair comment from Head Administrator/Censor there.

If I feel there is a groundswell of support, I will open up a "Ron Atkinson is certainly not a racist, he has loadsa black friends" thread.

But only is there is a demand out there...

31. Dublin and Monaghan bombings

75. Gordon Ramsay

I think these should be taken out;

The bombings had nothing to do with England directly (maybe collusion between British Army and Loyalists, but nothing directly to do with England).

Gordon Ramsay is a Scottish cnut, I believe

[eamo]

280. Chris Moyles - the fcuker who gives out about the standard of music and then campaigns for the re-release of Mysterious Girl.

In fact I propose he gets about ten entries because he is such a g0bshite

281. Robbie Williams
