I remember that bloke from Swansea tweeting that he hoped that fabrice muamba would die the black etc etc after collapsing on the pitch

I am amazed that someone could think like that

But racists have always been among us

I was doing geography A level and the teacher , an established member of staff , starting telling a very offensive joke about the Bradford Fire . I said I don't want to hear this and covered my ears . He always was off with me after that but bollocks to him .

I went to a teachers party in Bridgend many years ago and the head of history quickly told a joke about Asians involving the p word and most of the teachers laughed . I stood up told me all they are educating the people of the future and got a taxi home .

If teachers , who are generally educated people have these opinions it should be no surprise that someone with not a lot going on upstairs tweets offensive stuff

Its always been there , now they have a platform
