hell’s bells and buckets part two?  Apologies never end. a nation of apologists…

So help me I do NOT go looking for this silly stuff.  It gets to a point where it begins to be funny, and you wonder what next grouping of words or phrase will be the newest thing to offend.

Take a look.


Glenn Hoddle apologises for Chinese jibe in latest Sky Sports gaffe

By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER

Glenn Hoddle has apologised for the inappropriate ‘joke’ he made as he provided co-commentary during Monday night’s clash between Fulham and Chelsea.
The former England manager embarrassed employers Sky after he responded to the sight of Fernando Torres squandering a goalscoring opportunity in the 0-0 draw.

During the encounter, Twitter was swamped with reaction to Hoddle jokingly comparing Chelsea’s out-of-form £50million signing to the ‘Chinese player Knee Shin Toe’.
‘I can only apologise to those who took offence,’ Hoddle said today. ‘There’s no excuse. It’s an old football expression and I understand I can’t say things like that.’
Hoddle was employed as a replacement for the disgraced Andy Gray, who was sacked by the broadcaster last month for sexist remarks.

Hoddle caused a major storm when he gave an interview in 1999, claiming that the disabled are being punished for something in a previous life.
‘You and I have been physically given two hands and two legs and half-decent brains,’ he said. ‘Some people have not been born like that for a reason. The karma is working from another lifetime. I have nothing to hide about that. It is not only people with disabilities. What you sow, you have to reap.’
Tony Blair, then the Prime Minister, was among those who heavily criticised Hoddle and the FA responded by sacking him soon afterwards.

Here’s what a few Brits had to say.

What a joke that he has had to apologise. What is this world coming to? He made a lighthearted comment, with no menace or venom, just a lighthearted comment and yet some people take offence? Christ, what the hell is wrong with people nowadays. Everyone has become ridiculously sensitive and it seems people are just out to get everyone and anyone. No wonder we’ll end up extinct.

This country is going down hill so fast, we will never ever get back to being great again. That we have people who can find offence in this, is an embarrassment. It’s scary the way the pc left wing are slowly destroying even our sense of humour, along with everything else. We can’t say this, we can’t do that, and we are fighting to bring democracy and free speech to Afghanistan, telling Egypt it has to become a modern open democracy. Let’s start at home.

We need to line up all the pc nutters against a wall and restore sanity and common sense to society.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
