Looks like the council have backed down I sincerely trust that Sheffield City Trust (SCT) will ban this American "gentleman"due to his very extreme and "fixed" homophobic views. If they allow this absolute hate-filled religious bigot to spew his bile at City Hall then they really do need to wind their neck in about the much less offensive Roy CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Rockers rule   659 #282 Posted November 7, 2021 I hope the comedian (?) Fatiha El-Ghorri is ready for the anti racism protesters, if she ever comes to Sheffield. Caught the (IMO less than funny) comedian on the Johnathan Ross Show last night. HTSBO watches it, personally I can't stand the guy. Anyway, Fatiha's sat there doing her best to be funny,  up pops a picture of her and her mum, her in a Hijab, Mother in a Niqab. Only for her to say proudly "that's my Mum - she was having the day off from being a post box". Well - none of the other guest's were shrinking violets (too busy talking about Ross's favourite subject - pr**k's & bo**ck's), but the stifled, 'can we / should we laugh, laugh's were an indicator of how embarrassed even they felt. Double standards? or racist nonsense from someone of the same faith? or simply both? Imagine the out cry if any of the others on the show had cracked the same sh*t'e racist rubbish. Ross  would have been asked to resign, probably escalating to the show being pulled (sounds good to me), protesters would be camped outside his house, questions would be asked in Parliament and we'd all be asked to take a knee on a Saturday night.  My point?  Should people be able to go to see Chubby Brown, Yes. Should people be able to see Franklin Graham - Yes. Should people be able to see Fatiha El-Ghorri - yes. Should people be able to watch Johnathan Ross - yes.   But it has to be your choice. And not because, some self appointed bastion of censorship (Snowflake) has deemed it acceptable in their eyes first.  Keep safe out there .              Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Being the operative words Joker Not, having the decision taken away from you before hand .  Other than that your quite right . Watching Johnathan, 'Look how funny i thing I am by saying pen*s', Ross, on the other hand, should be the exception 🙃   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

He's played there for over three decades, perhaps they'd like to hand the profits they've made in that time to charity. Â Ironically they had male strippers the Dreamboys on not long after they banned this act, ludicrous double standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That's the only question really. I've no problem with a decision not to book him in the future, I've no problem with him being cancelled for something particularly nasty he's come out with in the press/social media/whatever but he's not done that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
HeHasRisen   3,313 #288 Posted November 8, 2021 So he has played there for decades yet they only have an issue with him now?!?! Have they only just realised what goes on in their own buildings now then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
