    Actually as me and the Mrs are both Muslims this can't be considered insensitive. Think I will get her to dress like that when we come to the next game. Pre-match drinks in the Earl should be a good laugh. I also have a headscarf bought in Saudi. Unfortunately its red and white. Hopefully I can sell it to Chippy.

    Its people posting pictures like this that gives Newcastle fans a bad name.




    The scarf is fine. Its the model aircraft collection that does it.

    I’m pleased you said that because I was never offended by it until recently when I attended one of these workshops. Just kidding.

    Now I offend myself for having skin.

    I can’t look in the mirror because my own face is offending me.

    I have a spot. That’s offending me.

    I offend me.

    One comment which stands out above all other comments and which I 100% agree with is its about intent.

    Intent has to be educated intent as ignorance is no excuse.

    But far too many times people are taking offence on behalf of others who are not actually offended as there was never an intent to offend. Take the NUFC fans wearing Arabic or pseudo Arabic clothing there has not to my knowledge been one Saudi quoted as having complained but there have been many Snowflakes complaining on their behalf. Then we have so called cultural appropriation. Sharing and liking something from another culture is now wrong!! How and why?

    You can tell something in the World is wrong when you agree with Pouchy.
