I seem to have upset some Liverpool football fans

Scrolling through my stat’s counter page I noticed I was getting rather a lot of hit’s from YNWA.tv, a site I had never heard of before. According to Des who posted a forum response at 09:07 today, I am a bell-end and according to John am Rhein, “Anyone who uses the word ‘oik’ should be anihilated”… how nice!

Meanwhile Macca, asks of the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, “so in summary - he’s a f***ing grade A c***?”.

Did they even read the article or understand the point of the ban on alcohol? I doubt it. Just in case they tune in again, here it is for them simply. Boris Johnson did not write the offensive article, Simon Heffer did. Also the point to banning alcohol on public transport is that it makes people feel safer so that certain people are no longer hanging around on platforms drinking tins of Superstrength lager. It is about perceptions. On the issue of policing the ban, the Mayor has pledged an increase of Policing on public transport and to get the Police out of the stations back onto the beat. This makes the plan both practical and will enable the Police to enforce it.

As for Bob Crow, why else would he single out Liverpool, is Liverpool football club in London’s borders? No. He could have picked Chelsea, Arsenal or any number of other London clubs, he plumped for Liverpool because of what Heffer said.

Oh, one final thing. The word oik is derogatory, but so is the term bell end and insinuating that anyone who uses particular words of the English language someone else finds objectionable should be shot is really far more offensive. If you don’t like the way I say something, comment on the post, tell me and others who read the site, don’t skulk off and start resorting to Stalinist suggestions of liquidating certain people because you don’t like the way they talk.
