The Sun Newspaper is Scum!

Discussion in 'The Premier League' started by Hoddle is a god, Apr 22, 2017.

  1. The Sun has "apologised" for being ****s, again

    The apology on page five of Saturday's newspaper read: "On April 14 we published a piece in the Kelvin MacKenzie column about footballer Ross Barkley which made unfavourable comparisons between Mr Barkley and a gorilla.

    "At the time of publication the paper was unaware of Ross Barkley's heritage and there was never any slur intended. As soon as his background was drawn to our attention, the article was removed from online. We have been contacted by lawyers on behalf of Ross Barkley, who has made a formal complaint about the piece. The Sun has apologised for the offence caused by the piece. We would like to take this opportunity to apologise personally to Ross Barkley."

    (The Sun)

    So, let's get this straight.

    This isn't really an apology, is it? It's a feeble attempt at an excuse.

    What these ****s are really saying is, "We're sorry that we didn't know that Barkley has Nigerian ancestry. Had we known, we would have left out the bit about him looking like a gorilla and used a different analogy to express how stupid and ****witted we think he is."

    <doh>

    I think any doubt whatsoever about the paper being total scum were confirmed during the Hillsborough Trial.

    Everton fans already hated them, this just added to the fire.

    Every stadium should ban the ****s.

    Everton have rightly banned that arsewipe rag from all their facilities. I'd suggest that the premier league follows that lead.

    They won't, of course. Too much money involved to go upsetting Murdoch.

    You have to also put the Daily Fail & Express in the same category. No doubt all three are registered at the PostOffice as Comics.

    Ps. On a brighter note the Daily Fail online is banned here by the Thai government <ok>

    Kelvin McKenzie is a grade A neo-nazi male chauvanist narrow-minded bigoted ignorant ****. And if he was on fire I wouldnt cross the road to piss on him to put it out. Other than that I have nothing against him <ok>

    If the rag is widely hated, how is it still in existence?

  11. I suppose there are enough racist fascistic scumbags still left in the UK willing to buy it and keep it afloat.

  16. That is true.

    When you suggested that I was a racist scumbag, I began to chuckle. Then, when you added the bit about my being a fascistic scumbag I full-on pissed in my pants, the laughter was so intense.

    Don't lie about the pissing, you'd done that eleven minutes ago!

  18. Off the record a little bit, here, PM... I cannot quite put my finger on it, but I get the impression that you don't quite see eye-to-eye with Afro Stan. Am I right?
