Aren't you just sick of this?

Not exactly a great fan of David Milliband but should a quite innocent action, supporting the British efforts in the world cup, be seen as an attack on Liverpool? What is he supposed to do, consult advisors on every single thing he does in case somebody, somewhere, might be offended? Some even seem to dismissing his apology.

The tendency by some, often outsiders, to claim offence when no offence was intended simple raises resentment against a group as a whole.

Did you see the photograph in question? He should apologise to everybody for how his face looked on it, never mind what newspaper he was plugging

Well considering the amount of press Hillsborough has had over the past year and the hatred it receives in parts of the country due to the lies it published (albeit they did apologise 18 years later) he should have known better..

Many things have obvious risks attached to them, being photographed holding the Sun is one of them.

I'm not sick of this in particular. What I am sick of are the professional offence takers.
The Politically correct turds who jump in to take offence on behalf of the people who probably dont give a flying ***** in the first place.
I am from Liverpool and I wouldnt care if millipede came and danced around the city naked, painted blue around the groin and singing 'where me hub caps you hillsborough bastids'
who cares ?
It bugs me a lot less than the gobsh!tes who are trying to 'protect' my 'delicate sensibilities'

I can take care of myself. Thank you very much

He has no clue really and I feel a bit sorry for him, completely clueless, he is probably an OK guy but he is going to get totally mauled next year.

Well I for one find your post offensive.

Narked of Luton.

It's all part of the game.

A bit like CUK.

Apply to yourself as you see fit.

Has no business running a country, though. Not that anyone in particular does, but some people are just likelier to do harm than others, intentionally or not, and he is one of those.

The 96 and their nearest and dearest deserve our sympathy. The other feckers can feck right off for making scousers look like a bunch of perpetually whingeing, pity-me tw@ts.
