TV newsreader forced out by Shakespeare

[Borchester]

I think the only thing that might offend me there is the description Old...

 



When I was in HMRC we had a party during which one of the girls asked a Nigerian friend of mine if it was true what was said about black men. And my friend replied that there was only one way that she would find out, whereby the evening drew to a very agreeable conclusion. But the next day the Collector Higher Grade took my friend to one side and asked if he wanted to make a complaint, to which my friend replied that he at least, had nothing to complain about.The CHG who, like most CHGs, was a decent sort albeit a bit dim, didn't understand how my friend could endure being considered such a blatant racial stereotype but my mate assured him that it was tough but something he had learned to live with.

Lucky he wasn't quoting Othello



Zounds, sir, you're robbed! For shame, put on your gown.

Your heart is burst, you have lost half your soul.

Even now, now, very now, an old black ram

Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise,

Awake the snorting citizens with the bell

Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you.

Arise, I say!

It must be obvious to all that Shakespeare was a racist, but probably spelt it with a medieval f - racift.

Apparently so is Noddy.

Outrageous injustice that this one of the very few truly professional newsreaders should have been forced out of his job by the 'snowflake' ITV management. I have added my name to a petition requiring his reinstatement, which is now approaching 90000. I very much hope that ITV gets a kicking where it will hurt the most; in its advertising revenues.



Political correctness and misnamed liberalism have been permitted to go far too far in our society and we should all increasingly resist it whenever it raises its ugly head, otherwise we will find ourselves living in s society which has lost all freedom of speech and even thought.

It's claimed ITV newsreader, Alastair Stewart has been forced out of his job after quoting Shakespeare in a tweet responding to another tweeter:**



"But man, proud man,

Dress'd in a little brief authority

Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd-

His glassy essence—like an angry ape

Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven

As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,

Would all themselves laugh mortal."



** The other tweeter was Black — Man, is his life so cozy he can waste time gettin' upset addat...!?!?

And meanwhile we have Terry Christian (by name but not by nature) wishing old people who voted brexit dead (a joke apparently) also those that voted brexit are cretins.



He's an ahole of mammoth proportions from my part of the world,well known and detested by many (and a bloody rag to boot)



Will he have to withdraw from broadcasting?
