Film of the day: Seven starring Brad Pitt....classic! These afternoons in between sessions make great film time!
If he's trying to be cryptic following on from his 'Liar Liar' tweet the other day it's not working - He just sounds like a moronic twat.

Sorry for the twitter quotes but this made me laugh.

Crown to Ashley Cole: 'You used to play for Arsenal, the crowd doesn't make any noise at the Emirates do they?' [LAUGHTER in court]

18 current or ex chelsea players plus Mourino are character witnesses for Terry.
The black kid doesn't need to be smiling right?
Strangely enough Drogba, Anelka, Malouda and Mikel who were chelsea players at the time were not character witnesses.
And yes I dont understand the need for character witnesses either, other than to show the defendent as a shining light.

Ah yes - venerable institutions. Not likely his Lordship will be looking at those on the internet though.
Well I don't think there is any doubt whatsoever that the people presiding over the case know every possible meaning of the word .... but that is not how the law tends to look at it. And who is to say who is and who isn't a 'cunt' when in fact that is an opinion without a legal definition ? Therefore again we are back to a literal interpretation and it's a slur.
It's extreme PC a la the USA. I'm afraid the UK just sucks it up and, although always a few years behind, eventually follows meekly in their footsteps.
Is Black #@$@$% any worse that White #@%%# ? If someone calls me a White Cunt is that somehow a stronger insult than just being called a cunt ? I thought equality was just that, it isn't though is it ? Do black people honestly feel that this is worthy (forget it's John Terry !) of being dragged through the courts (honest question) ? And if the shoe were on the other foot how would people react ? We all know what colour we are, Chinese openly and disarmingly call themselves Yellow when comparing themselves to Westerners, are they abusing themselves ?
And yes I know the historical connotations - but we preserve and propagate those prejudices with actions like these, not lay them to rest.
I honestly think the UK (USA) makes a bigger and heavier rod for it's own back by the heavy handed way they 'protect people's rights'. There are many people more deserving of prosecution - those making ridiculous monkey noises and throwing bananas for starters. Now that is racial abuse. Or denying people work on the basis of their colour. That is racial abuse.
Question: Is the judge wearing one of those silly white wigs?
Where have I heard that before 🙄
But you didn't limit your initial point to how the law defines it, you simply said that describing someone as a cunt could never be an opinion because it's demonstrably untrue. I'm saying that's not right because there's a well-established, and reasonably well-accepted, secondary definition of the word. I don't see how any of the above counters that.
In a hilarious misunderstanding, Terry was asked to repeat evidence that he had been sent off four times in his career.
“Can you say, please, four times?” asked his QC, George Carter-Stephenson.
“Please, please, please, please,” Terry responded.
Guffaws of laughter broke out around the courtroom at the misunderstanding, which was a result of the judge asking Terry to speak up.
The footballer appeared confused by response from the courtroom.

He's lucky the judge didn't think he was arsing about and do him for contempt. The fact that he didn't suggests it's painfully obvious to him that Terry is thick as a plank.
Are you lads for real? I thought that was a piss take
Haha. She should be so lucky.
For nigh on 40 years black players have been subjected to monkey noises, racist chanting, bananas on the pitch and abuse. 40 years. Walking away clearly hasn't worked. He who feels it knows it son, so you can fuck off and while your at it, kiss my arse.
What happened with the posts getting deleted?
