Brigzy 1,298 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Scottish police are investigating Katie Hopkins, (some idiot non-celebrity), for tweeting the word "Jock" about Scottish People, after receiving a number of complaints. Have we finally reached the point where the UK has gone mad ? I've ALLWAYS called Scots "Jock" and it was ALLWAYS meant and thought of as a friendly term. Surely the police have better things to do than respond to professionally outraged left wing idiots. Does this mean I can't call my Irish pals "Paddy" or my welsh mates "Taff" anymore ? Scouser, Geordie, Cockney, are they all racist words as well ? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Unfortunately that's the way things are. "Professionally outraged" is a great term for it. These numpties must scout newspapers, tv programs and social media in order to find something to be offended by. The most annoying thing is they most probably aren't even Jocks/Paddies/Taffs themselves, but assume these people would be offended. My mrs is a Mick/Paddy/Bogtrotter/Culchie and she couldn't give a damn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,278 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ol leave off so now we cant even address each other in our own tongue let alone foreigners ..............Do people just make a point of sitting around thinking of things to be offended about ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brigzy 1,298 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Another thing they complained about was Hopkins using the term " Sweaty Jocks" , the idiot couldn't even get the rhyming slang right; its "Sweaty Socks"! Or maybe the more politically correct " Candy Rocks", perhaps even rhyming slang will now be banned as racist and TV shows like Minder and Only Fools And Horses will be banned, like Alf Garnett in Till Death Us Do Part !!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marshman 7,758 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 You can't have one rule for and not for the other so I suppose it must be a rascist lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,191 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Ask a Spanish person the name for a paki and they will tell you a paki is a paki its not racist its a f****n abbreviation ffs.

Lab 10,979 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 f***ing fed up reading about it up here.....the amount of scottish folk bothered about being described as a jock or sweaty sock as she used is nothing short of embarrassing. Get on with it ya daftys.....it's just a name. I reckon 10 years time there will be no comedians out there......they'll be scared to say anything. Would rather see some mad glesga bird rap the nut on her rather than this public hounding shit!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshire 151 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Its because the full term wasn't used "jock cnt" is the normal English term meaning Scottish decent . please use this in future to avoid complications 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like that woman who complained to the police about Clarkson saying "slope" , she wasn't even a slope, she was a paki.....shit, I've just said two racist words on the Internet, I'll be expecting a visit from the Race Police !!!

The shite that he has had to put up with because of his comedy style. Constantly getting called racist he asked his chauffeur in Dubai who is a paki...."if I called you a Paki would you be offended??" "No, I am a paki!" "So what would offend you?" "Call me an Indian!!"
