"What did he say? " Chiles: “And it’s practically a home game for Poland – 15,000 Poles will be in here, I’m sure.” And then when Lee Dixon responded Dixon responded: “Hopefully, they’re all crying at the end” he added: “I’m trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful” Taken out of context then? | |||

"Can someone please point out exactly what is racist or offensive about that what he said?" That's what I'm saying, it's national not racist. As for offensive, I think people are just offended that it's Adrian Chiles saying it. He did call a Polish player a twat at an awards ceremony as an attempted joke a while back, which went down like a shitstorm | |||

A few people complained but a few stood up for him, not to mention the Polish people that we apparently stand up for so courageously whenever someone makes a joke | |||

"Twitter? Well that just about sums it up. Twatter should be banned before he is." Yep. It's actually on msn sites(the fuss over this innocuos remark).Nobody has yet pointed out how this could in any way be offensive.That's because they can't can they? | |||

The poster stated that the "left wing pc brigade make mountains out of molehills" Actually they do sometimes, but sometimes they also get rid of derogatory and demeaning language from general usage. | |||

It's been long established that those terms are offensive. So now they have nothing better to do than scream and yell from their soapboxes about every single little indiscretion or harmless offhand remark. It's frankly pathetic and I find it offensive that they feel they should express offence for a country/people who quite frankly couldn't give a flying fuck what he said because it was mildly amusing.

Just that when it comes to offhand remarks things have gone too far.... Jeez!! The problem is, that defending people's civil rights was something that the left wing pc brigade did quite a lot of. Again, what he said about Polish people/Poland and the stereotypes wasn't particularly offensive to anyone Polish or otherwise, it wasn't that bit I was objecting to. It was the idea that political correctness has gone too far, I don't think it has. I agree with the core of your argument, I truly do, its what I spend my working life doing. But you've gone off at such a tangent that you've missed the whole point of the thread! So ill simplify. Breaches of human and civil rights no matter who's are abhorrent and should not be condoned. Poor attempts at humour by portly west midlanders should just be ignored." What if was offended by being desrcibed as portly?Is that offensive. It's sizest. How far do we go on this? | |||

" Political correctness has gone too far, give it a rest already. Really? So we don't marginalise, abuse or demean people anymore? Really? Well I don't. Do you? Examples please. Thx. Seriously? Marginalise Learning disabilities, mental illness, the elderly are all in vulnerable groups who find themselves marignalised on a regular basis. Children are bullied using abusive language fairly regularly and people with mental illness are spoken about in a fairly demeaning way in regular every day language. You may not, but then maybe you're so PC that you don't need to watch your language. I haven't covered racism here as that's a whole new level of abuse which I'm not as qualified to speak about. The comment in question has nothing to do with any of those things and no one has said that defending peoples civil rights is a bad thing.

"Chiles would be expected to take a joke if he dishes them out. Not a problem." I'm sure he would but still struggling to see and have explained how what he said was in any way offensive. Over 70 posts and nobody has done that yet. | |||

"The thing about "PC gone too far" is just weird. Is Adrian Chiles in jail? No. He's just had some criticism. Criticism is going too far now? We cannot say 'that's stupid/insensitive' in case it's too 'PC'?" The thing is that in a comedy venue or as part of a script in a tv show or movie no one would bat an eye lid but as an impromptu joke by a footy pundit on live tv the Great British tradition of being offended on someone else's behalf rears it's exceedingly ugly head | |||

That what I asked.Not a generalisation.Thanks again. Ok, just for you. In Winterbourne view, look it up on the internet. The language used was demeaning (as well as the behaviour) it was a home for people with learning disabilities who were treated appallingly and as sub humans. Agreed, it was horrific and there are hundreds of cases similar to this. But that's not what we're discussing is it! We're discussing an offhand comment made by a chubby brummie!" Chubby brummie? How can you be so sizeist and regionalist.my god, in this day and age too. Shameful | |||

"What did he say? Chiles: “And it’s practically a home game for Poland – 15,000 Poles will be in here, I’m sure.” And then when Lee Dixon responded Dixon responded: “Hopefully, they’re all crying at the end” he added: “I’m trying to get some building work done at the moment, quite seriously. Be careful” Taken out of context then?" can only imagine the itv took it as h was actually replying to Lee Dixon 'yesl lets hope, cuz thye are a bunch of c**ts' its a ridiculously over the top reaction. he didnt say most Poles work in the construction industry, he made a vague remark that 'possibly' he has Polish builders doing some work for him (although i seem to remember him making the same 'joke' before the last Poland game.) Adrian Chiles is a lot more embarrassing for being a miserable bugger than this gaff. | |||
