Having seen the power of the PH to have people banned it would be best to avoid this news?

or can it be discussed? in comparison to the PH view of the East?

Pretty nasty and abhorrent stuff.

But not sure the point you're trying to make OP when it comes to being 'allowed' to discuss this story.

I'm not really sure I understand your post. Perhaps I've missed something, but why wouldn't be be allowed to discuss a pretentious bigoted tw*t getting the sack for being a bigoted tw*t?

I've never quite understood anti-semitism, which may be a good thing, but I've never for a moment thought "are they Jewish" about anyone I've ever met. It seems an odd thing to even consider let alone to hold against someone.

Its odd and illogical because it is a trait of complete fktards.

Well, it sounds like he has acted in a manner which would bring Dior into disrepute, so they are undertaking a process of dismissal. That's fair enough!?!?

Actually I've never understood why society (in this country) tolerates casual racism to ethnic/celtic/coloured/culture minorites but as soon as someone makes an anti-semitic remark, there is all out war on them.

If you said what he said about anyone, you'd be in the brown stuff.

I think he means that he doesnt understand why people are anti-semetic. To be honest, neither have I and even spent some time with a bloke I used to work with chatting about this. He adds quite a fascinating historical view on it all, and explained that its nothing new. Still dont get it though...

Damned right if I had been there I would have likely dropped the sick bugger there and then, the same as anyone I heard making those kind of remarks about any Race in a drunken fit. Maybe thats just me though?

If this is as reported he deserves everything he gets!


Cheers
Would you floor someone if they started banging on about Muslims? I doubt it mate, I really doubt it.

You can watch it there (of course, according to his people, it never happened)

I assume there was some Aryan talk beforehand, as it starts off asking if he is blond, and he say he isn't but he loves Hitler.

I don't understand why someone would hold it against someone that they're Jewish. I don't know what Jews are supposed to have actually done in order for people to be anti-semitic?

I didn't know Natalie Portman was Jewish, now I do but the next time I watch Star Wars I'll be thinking "stty script" not "Oh it's the Jew actress Natalie Portman". I totally fail to see the relevance.

Mrs 8 informs me he is a bit of a genius with cloth and scissors and has transformed Dior's fortunes.

He won't be the first uber-successful person with dubious (at best) beliefs or personality traits. I wonder what will happen to his career?
