No jews here kid hoppit
Discussion
Had it been say a Police Commissioner type cover up cling on as long as possible thingey they could have said:
What the guard said but has been misconstrued due to the noise levels at the time was that Sports Direct did not like to admit more than one shool person at a time as they had been the unfortunate victims of theft"
Going on "this policy is simply the same as that which is applied to sweet shops up and down the country"
Mr Iqbal apologies if he was incorrectly heard when he said this

How about, boys from a particular school have become a shoplifting problem, security guard bans them as a result. The rest is obvious. Kids stitch him up knowing the power of PC.
It's not going to be long before some bright spark from 'Israeli' thread comes along with an idea that security guard must be a Hamas member or, at least, supporter. Victim card has been played once again. Must be really sad life going around and looking to be offended. As for people complaining about anti-Semitism in North London, until recently I used to spend a lot of time in Golders Green, not once have I seen any abuse directed towards anyone because of their nationality/religion/origin.
Never underestimate Daily Mail's ability to get intended audience frothing. Always funny.

I call this 'coach crash syndrome'. For weeks after a major coach crash, any coach incident, anywhere in the World, is reported by the media.
This is newsworthy because of when it happened, not because it is particularly unusual. These things have happened since Jews arrived on these shores. It just happens to be a time of tension in the Middle East, with Israel under the spotlight. So, this is newsworthy on a national level.
I live in North London. These incidents are relatively common. They are reported by the local rags. This time the Mail picked it up.

Well, which of these is the assumption we should be making - the more likely one, which results in a telling off and a kid having to sit on the stairs, or the far less likely one in which a man loses his job?
There's apparently no evidence bar what a kid told his wealthy lawyer father, and his father has decided to use his money/influence to lash out - I think it's pathetic the number of people who are taking a story which could easily have been fabricated by a child at face value, and condemning a man who has already lost his job with no evidence of any wrongdoing.
Righto. So the kids are bare faced liars who were somehow up to no good and his father being a lawyer and wealthy somehow factors into this story being bullsThere's apparently no evidence bar what a kid told his wealthy lawyer father, and his father has decided to use his money/influence to lash out - I think it's pathetic the number of people who are taking a story which could easily have been fabricated by a child at face value, and condemning a man who has already lost his job with no evidence of any wrongdoing.
t. The father's status as a wealthy lawyer makes him more likely to be able to kick up a fuss vs the average joe (certainly his angry phone call to SD will have carried far more weight than the average angry member of the public)
I suggest you step back from your anger at the alleged comments, and look at the situation as it has been presented - one word vs another.
If I claimed you'd said something terrible and racist, would you be happy for everyone to believe me based on my word alone, and think it was reasonable to suffer the consequences?

Ever walked past a group of them with a mate wearing a yamika (skull cap for those not in the know!)?! The abuse was absolutely vile.
Surely if you wear silly clothing you might expect some reaction, I am not suggesting harsh abuse is acceptable but if I walked around dressed as a unicorn I am sure people might snigger.The British are very tolerant, we are also the best nation I know on the planet of for taking the pi55 out of "everyone", I suppose it takes a couple of generations before the same sense of humour is adopted by those with different cultures, or should we change to suit others with weird customs living in this country?

Exactly, though I don't think you need the Devils advocate, how many kids have been perhaps doing something they shouldn't and made stuff up just to avoid getting into trouble.
Also what's with all this wow WOW st we get it you're deeply offended by an as yet unproved story.
I'll give you another one Sol Campbell was on the news yesterday after being racially abused in Hexham of all places. Someone walked past him and said you they didn't really, they allegedly said 'nice tan'
wow just WOW
The quote is "wow, just fecking WOW!" If you are going to take the piss over it and show your fake shock at my post at least pay me the respect of posting correctly and accurately please!Also what's with all this wow WOW s

Until it is PROVEN to be inaccurate or false then I will assume the story is true based on factual events if thats ok with you. No doubt this one is also fictitious and completely made up? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2757112/Co...

How do we know that it actually happened? Before we get outraged, surely some proof would be helpful?
I'm curious how you actually recognize a Jew? Not even sure if they are a race, a religion, or an ethnicity. How do we know that it actually happened? Before we get outraged, surely some proof would be helpful?

Both youngsters attend Yavneh College, a Jewish secondary school in the town, and were wearing their school uniform at the time.I would like to hear more about any evidence against the Security Guard and the incident. However i think SD have taken possibly the best action to help protect the guard at the expense of their own reputation.

And Jews have been here for roughly 1,000 years, hardly just a generation. The brits are, on the whole, very ambivalent to others as indeed it should be. Simply live and let live but don;t for a moment think there are not significant issues here or that they are increasing.
And for the chap who lived in golders green and saw no issues.... ok.... really? It is not a huge problem by any means but it happens far more than perhaps you realise.

Yeah, kids never make stuff up to save themselves getting in trouble with their parents! And Jews never play the 'race' card. And the Daily Mail reporter just happened to be there and witnessed it, it wasn't phoned in, oh no. And, and...
Nice shoes.Point is, SD did exactly the right thing to fire the guy. Same response no matter who had unilaterally decided to exclude.

No I didnt and wholly irrelevant to this discussion, you cannot compare the two, as stated earlier companies dont move to instant dismissal without solid evidence of serious wrongdoing. Anything less would be insane from a corporate perspective, which is why I am prepared to accept the report as is.
That's not true at all. This guy was agency and the newer revisions to employment law have made it much harder to get a payout in any case.Getting rid of this bloke was a nobrainer evidence or not.
As it is there is a PHer who seems to have insider knowledge of the incident which backs up the story as stated and I don't doubt stupid people sometimes say stupid things so I don't carry any particular doubt this did happen but I don't think Sports Directs response tells us too much.
