Should This Gentleman Have Needed To 'step Down', Surely He Was Only Making A Valid Comment?

/// The email reportedly said: 'They talk to themselves and do not engage with the wider community. They are living in the UK not Pakistan. ///

/// 'Whilst being rightly proud of their Pakistani culture and heritage they need to explain better and engage more with their non-Pakistani brothers and sisters if they want their children to succeed as British Pakistani citizens.' ///

A more valid comment than Cameron made yesterday.

[ToraToraTora]

nothing to apologise for, he's bang on, shy did he step down?

[Svejk]

I wish people would stop apologising. And no, he said nothing wrong.

[TWR]

Why should he when telling the truth? If he was advised to do so! why? Has Prince Philip resigned for the cock up's he often comes out with?

[Baldric]

I think what he said is correct, certainly not a reason to resign!

[hc4361]

It very much depends on who he sent the email to. If it were in his official capacity he is not 'upholding the dignity of the Crown' as he is supposed to.

If it were a private email to a friend he needs better friends.

I don't like things like putting feet on chairs but I also don't like men getting in the face of women. If he had asked her in a civilised manner, fine...but he didn't, he came across as a nasty piece of work.

[-Talbot-]

I'll try putting that ^ in the right place.

[hc4361]

This is nowt to do with feet on chairs, Talbot

[hc4361]

:D

[bazwillrun]

nothing wrong whatsoever, 110% correct

but as usual the pc maniacs decide what people can think and say...

[Mamyalynne]

He made his reasoned and well worded comments based on his experience, his decision to step down may mean it did not sit well with his position. Seems like a sound chap.


Is there a separate link to the 'PC maniacs' who contributed to his stepping down Bazwillrun?

[Marshwarble]

A comment can never be correct, just accurate or inaccurate.

[THECORBYLOON]

I think you'll find that 'pc maniacs' are folk who disagree with BAZWILLRUN

[hc4361]

baz, people can say anything they like but if they are in an official role then they have to behave within the constraints of that role. The Queen's Representative has to be particularly diplomatic.

[bazwillrun]

explain what he said thats wrong....

"Is there a separate link to the 'PC maniacs' who contributed to his stepping down Bazwillrun?"

as to your facile comment, the proof is he stepped down, no link needed....
i realise that me hard for you to grasp

[Mamyalynne]

I read the article and commented on my view.

If there is no separate evidence you can offer then fair enough,no need to be condescending or rude.

[bazwillrun]

"I think you'll find that 'pc maniacs' are folk who disagree with BAZWILLRUN "

no theyre the ones who want to impose their pathetic ideolgy and thought control on everybody and have made somebody step down from their job for speaking the truth....truth is the truth , i dont care where he works or what he does, hes correct in what he says, he could even expand that to cover loads more that we tolerate here, not just pakistanis...

[bazwillrun]

"If there is no separate evidence you can offer then fair enough,no need to be condescending or rude. "

i dont need to provide evidence, he stepped down , thats all the evidence you need....

[Mamyalynne]

^ You need,not me.
