Breaking news on Sky

[JonnyHungwell]

Prince Charles plays polo with a bloke affectionately known as 'SOOTY', down at Cirencester Polo Club for Toffs & Racists.

Is there no real news?

[number 6]

You won't get real news on Sky news.

[Cactus Jack]

I don't understand. If a bloke likes it when another man shoves a hand up his arse and works him like a glove-puppet, how can that be racist?

[JonnyHungwell]

That Sweep was a right bad bugger - and Sweet Sue was a bit of a slut by all accounts.

[beutelwolf]

Can someone explain to me why the SOOTY nickname is supposed to be racist? I remember Keith Vaz making a fuss about it on the news, but I still fail to see a racial connection...

So what is this all about?

[fatmick]

Sooty as in coal soot.....get it now?

[WigBilly]

Surely 'sooty' is only offensive towards people of African or Afro-Caribbean descent, seeing as Asians have coffee-coloured skin which is nowhere near sooty-black. This storm-in-a-teacup is just the PC Brigade looking for something to get all self-righteous & indignant about yet again.

Is that the stepfather of Harry Hewitt ? The one who has a valet hold a specimen bottle whilst he gives a specimen?Sooty is a great name for dumb Asians who like to be part of the 'in crowd'.Acquiesence is easier you see.Calling an Asian/Black etc is racist and anyone that thinks otherwise is an Auchan from the planet Tossus.
