TRVMP Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Silly little boy, much like his father who has made endless errors in his life James Hewitt always seemed like a good guy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midTONs Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anyway I don't see what all the fuss is about anyway, there was no malice involved and the person referred to was not offended, in the Hewitt boy was only using the nickname given to a popular colleague.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anyway I don't see what all the fuss is about anyway, there was no malice involved and the person referred to was not offended, The lad's uncle was on the news this morning and said he was offended. Bear in mind he was out of earshot when Harry called him his 'little Pak1 friend' so probably wasn't even aware of it till now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure are you ? and i'm quite happy actually, TBH i'm laughing at how people can be offended by something that's got nothing to do with them.

You don't seem happy, what with your swearing and personal insults. I'm not in the least bit offended personally as I'm not Asian, but I still don't think he should have said it.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The lad cant speak for himself now ? Who knows, if he's still in the Army maybe he's not in a position to. Has he stated publicly he wasn't offended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear in mind he was out of earshot when Harry called him his 'little Pak1 friend' so probably wasn't even aware of it till now. I'm sorry I don't believe for a minute the lad didn't know he was known as that in the army. I wonder if the boy will now make a claim for damages? Tell Gibby he has never been referred to as Jock in the army and see if he believes you. As for George Galloway's comments in his interview, he is a f***ing imbecile, so those who use the word P@ki do so because they hate them? But those who use the word Jock or Taffy don't? So if I tell the missus I'm off to the P@ki's to buy the paper, I say this because I hate the person, even though I might spend 20 mins in the shop chatting to him? FFS people need to get off their high horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS people need to get off their high horse. Once again, it's down to intent. As it happens I don't actually think he used the term with malicious intent, though of course only he himself will know that for sure. But as I said before, whether he likes it or not he's not a normal squaddy as everything he says and does will come under scrutiny and have international diplomatic and political repercussions. So for him to use a term that's commonly used as a racial slur, even if that wasn't his intent, was foolish to say the least. And as for 'getting off high horses' I think that applies more to those defending him rather than those criticising him, as that's where all the anger seems to be coming from.
