/// Manchester University Diversity Officer Ilyas Nagdee posted: 'Stupid decision by @gmpolice to decide attackers should be seen as Muslim. Maybe that's why Islamophobias gone up 300% in the UK.' ///

Pleased to note however that they took the health and safety of the victims very seriously, noticing the eye protection glasses.

Andy - but you will risk suspension then!

[ummmm]

Why would Andy get suspended?

[naomi24]

It won't happen.

[viv41]

Sadly.

I think within any thread on any topic one responder stating they have more right (whatever the reason for that comment) it ceases to be a debate about the topic in the OP.

All that was needed here was the people who arranged this (sadly) necessary exercise to have thought about the impact of the words shouted out when it hit the public media.

PS


No, I do not mean change them to any of the flowery suggestions given earlier.

Me also baldric. No doubt this character who crys easily is attempting to goad me also. He is not worth further comment except reinforcing my earlier comment that some don't deserve their emergency services.
Of course a period of suspension would never be considered for our chair borne sniper

[viv41]

And he doesn't seem to get his answers removed either as I've reported it and it's still there ...

[agchristie]

I was basing the risk whereby retrocop has been suspended and Andy, by his own admission, 'giving a little back'...

[Svejk]

agchristie ///Andy - but will you risk suspension then?///

Might have been more germane, ag.

[ummmm]

Different though. Retro has been suspended loads of times....

Looks like another gang up to me.

[retrocop]

A-H
Can say anything he likes on this site and escape suspension. He is considered part of the editorial team and blameless. This thread will get pulled first before he gets suspended and he knows it.!!

[ummmm]

A load of bull, Retro...

/// If - as on this occasion - retrocop wants to huff and puff about the 'unworthiness' of other AB'ers to be saved from terrorism while simultaneously clearly inferring that he is not in that group himself, then that is a definition of pomposity, and I am calling him out for
it. ///

It is not pompose to distance one's self from a particular group, who have weird thoughts.

[agchristie]

Ummmm - it doesn't matter how many times Retrocop has been suspended. If Andy, makes what is deemed an insulting comment, or anyone else for that matter, a suspension is possible as per Site Rules.

Consistency is important isn't it?

[viv41]

Me too.

[RandyMarsh]

No, realism is key here.

[anotheoldgit]

'pompous' even.
