Chicken boxes and David Lammy

I am getting sick of David Lammy
What wrong with putting knife warnings on chicken boxes and why does he think it stereotypes black people ?

White people eat chicken too .

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

I can't see messages on chicken boxes having any effect on knife crime and I can imagine the gangs involved in knife crime laughing at them . It also adds to their notoriety. The messages may strike a chord with someone though maybe families of gang members.

However I don't like Lammy , an unpleasant man always looking to take offence whenever possible.

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

I am getting sick of every time someone, anyone tries to do something to change what is wrong in this country, either a 'do-gooder' pops up to oppose the idea or now, someone uses accusations of racism to ensure the idea goes nowhere.

It is rather surprising the reason given was not also that the box was coloured black with white printing!

What is happening to this country?

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

Attending a meeting with a snotty bunch of francophones in Montreal I remember being told not to ask for a black coffee, just a coffee. Otherwise to request "café au lait" if I didn't want a black coffee.

Naturally I repeatedly slipped up and asked for "Schwarzkaffee".

Well you've got to, don't you? One of the fringe benefits of being a foreigner.

A truly odious person who likes the sound of his own voice and who is a self-publicist adept at playing the race card at every opportunity. The male (can I say that?) version of Diane Abbott - an equally odious person.

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

On the subject of Diane Abbott 'tis said that standing on top of the Eiffel Tower has a marked similarity to her giving oral sex ----

In both cases looking down would result in a feeling of intense nausea in most normal people.

Agree Judd, both with unwarranted king-sized chips on their shoulders. Always whinging about racism when for most of the time it doesn't exist, but instead of making things better, prefer to stand there with a telescope to their eye, just waiting to pounce on anything that they can make look offensive.

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

This is being discussed on www.order-order.com

David Lammy couldn't find his own arse 'ole with both hands, and can hardly put a coherent sentence together, but it's funny how he manages to do that when he sees an opportunity to play the black card

I wonder if he gets someone to write his script for him?

Re: Chicken boxes and David Lammy

This is just so racist!

This is racism in action, the positive side of racism. Blacks knife one another, blacks eat fried chicken. I get the connection even if Lammy doesn't.

No surprise that Diane also thought the chicken boxes were stereotyping blacks .
