Trevor Sinclair RIP

Trevor Sinclair

Convicted racist
Convicted drink driver
Convicted for common assault against a woman

An absolute stain of a ‘man’
 
Worrying how many people liked his comment.

Absolutely disgusting view to have, but to put it out there for the public to see....
 
Obviously growing up he was a hero of mine being a hammer

This is just disgusting.

His fall from grace is complete

The unthinking adoption and import of American social and cultural mores, strongly aided and abetted by the media (and made so much easier by social media / the internet) has a real-world impact on how and what people ‘think’

Pretty sure that 10 years ago such a view from Sinclair would have received a fraction of the Twitter ‘likes’
 
Free speech innit.
He's entitled to express his opinion, as long as it's not illegal, even if it's distasteful.
Others are similarly entitled to lambast him for it.
Interesting to see what TS do with him, as a media outlet that thrives on expressing controversial opinions and stirring up arguments.
 
Time and place.

If you want to practice this then you better be bolted in for the consequences
Precisely. I can't imagine there are too many people who hang around waiting to hear what Trevor Sinclair has to say on any subject.
I almost feel sorry for him - he's a man whose MH probably isn't great and he's just opened himself up to a world of hate and abuse.
 
Looks like his twitter account has been removed. Good.

he deleted the account. apparently people were posting his address and phone number with predictable consequences.

That's poor form, would be the perpertrators be classed as woke or anti-woke?

Whilst he is entitled to his opinion, a person of his standing should at least show a bit of empathy.

There is a certain irony about folk who go on about cancel culture now wanting to cancel him.

It was an odd post from someone who has previously posted pro-Queen comments, maybe he is having some personal issues.

Absolutely. That is why he will not be prosecuted, sent to prison or executed. He can say what he wishes.

However, free speech does not make you immune from the opinions of others, as you have said. Others can lambast him for it. And, when you work in the media, and exposed to public opinion, you clearly6 make yourself extremely unemployable.

If you work in the media, it is a pretty good skill to read the room at certain moments. This was one of those moments, in the extreme.
