    All over the country. It was mainly the job I did previously (troubleshooter for nightclubs) that attracted the attention. Mainly customers but some staff as well. Was in the thick of the race riots in the early noughties. Had many coming to the club I worked,trying to provoke a reaction by being racist to me and my staff. All cultures were subject to the abuse and guilty of dishing it out. Had weeks of it. Never reacted to the verbals. If any of the staff were getting upset they would be removed from the situation. I was called everything. My answer was always “your right”. White this, white that, same answer. Took away their power if you agree with the idiots. Staff did the same. Only time we reacted is if it got physical then it was dealt with quickly. Only restrained them never more than that. I was followed home countless times. Had my front door kicked in at 4 in the morning, which was funny as I was still up and had to fight them off (ex boxer). I was chasing them down the street in my boxers! Ended up having police protection for a while. All over race. I find racism incredibly sad and small minded. Fun times

    I know a few people at work that wear them, annoys the **** out of me, but it’s their choice. It’s usually the same people that use the word ‘we’ when referring to ‘their’ out of town Premier League side, clearly that ****s me off even more, and at that point I have to have my say. Usually it’s a simple ‘**** off you plastic ****!’

    I've been hanging back, as I didn't realise it wasn't normal, but I keep my bollocks in one.

    Some people do not see racism as a 2 way Street but it certainly is.It's intolerable to all,no matter if you're black or white.....

    So we're saying it was non whites giving you grief. Racism is a 2 way street but only 1 way gets recognised.

    I was abused contently whilst living in Scotland to the point whereby in the end I left, and wouldn't set foot in Scotland again as long as I live. I've been spat at, had people walk out of restaurants when they heard my accent, and generally felt unwelcome there. This sort of thing never gets a mention.

    I had it hard when I moved up here as I still had 2 years schooling ahead of me.Literally,not a day went by in the first 6 months that I didn't walk out the gates at 3.50 and have to fight someone!!! Every day in one class or another someone would want a fight at home time....I got so sick of it that I started just kicking off in the class and it ended when I knocked a big bullying bastard out with a stool...****ers never touched me again!!!

    I've worked with Aberdonians,they don't like other Scots,never mind the English!! I'm very surprised to hear they've walked out of restaurants though....They're the tightest twats on the planet The mutton molesting ****s!!

    I have two or three.

    So come on, explain why you think that a man wouldn’t admit to owning one?

    Your ****ing homophobic ****e, is exactly what makes organisations like the BBC have to have policies about it.

    “Handbags at Dawn” isn’t an issue unless it is said in the same context as your post.

    We live in a multicultural, gender neutral society. Life is so much better for it.

    I don’t like the pandering to everyone and find the need to avoid even the slightest offensive remark or action is sometimes over the top, but society needs it. Why? because posts like yours leave the door open to bullying, bullying leads to persecution and persecution, is the last thing a free society should have in it.

    You don't like the pandering or the need to avoid even the slightest offensive remark,but society needs it??? Why?Why does society need to pander or avoid making the slightest offensive remark(or perceived offensive remark)?

    This multicultural,gender neutral society makes life so much better? How? Life's just ****ing wonderful at present isn't it?? I'm all for live and let live but I draw the line at this namby pamby 'I'm offended' ****e!!

    It seems to me and judging by your personal attack on another poster that you don't have a problem making grossly offensive remarks.....Hypocrite.
