Social media misfire of the week

[Sebastian Cobb]

Oh Alan.

[Jerzy Bondov]

Oh Alan.

This seems a bit off to me I must say

[steve98]

He's already apologized.

[biggytitbo]

It was a very progressive apology though, starting defiant, then begrudgingly acknowledging the offense, ending up in a total grovelling backdown. Presumably the BBC had a word, with this years Apprentice starting filming soon.

[garnish]

The replies are mostly critical, sprinkled with a few references to snowflakes and how some people just like to be offended.

Kudos to this user for her in depth knowledge of Senegal's foreign aid distribution policies.

[Soup]

fucking political insight on that.

the island's doomed. burn it down. let me rule the ashes if only to demand they get burned again.

tony blair.

[Paul Calf]

He's demoted Lord Sugar too.

[garnish]

Yeah actually now I've noticed she's called him 'Sir Sugar', I wonder if she's actual on a pisstake.  Well done, if so.

[Paul Calf]

Oh, 'Ashleigh'.

Naughty misgendering Calfy.

[Buelligan]

Yeah actually now I've noticed she's called him 'Sir Sugar', I wonder if she's actual on a pisstake.  Well done, if so.

The correct form of address is actually Lord Sugartits of No Offence but Ashleigh obviously knows him well enough to be more familiar.

[Jobey]

NOTHING TO SEE HERE

'A group of cross-party peers including Alan Sugar have written a letter to Scotland Yard calling for an investigation into pro-Corbyn Facebook groups and forums which are anti-Semitic and "inciting violence".'

[rjd2]

Peter Fonda come on down.

[idunnosomename]

How did he even think that was funny? Haha they are black men! They look like people selling counterfeit goods! It's uncanny!!

[momatt]

It's almost as if Alan Sugar is a massive thick cunt with no social awareness.

[Fambo Number Mive]

Piers Morgan and Curtis Woodhouse are defending him. Curtis said "Lord Sugar said something stupid, nobody died. People calling for his head and all that stuff is embarrassing to be honest. Some people are absolutely desperate to be offended and hang somebody for it. I just thought what a prat, and moved on with the rest of my day". Morgan said "I've known @Lord_Sugar for 25 years. He can be a halfwit of biblical proportions, and prone to terrible 'jokes' as we saw today. But he's not a racist."

I also think there may be purpose behind it.  Not in the case of Sugar, like Bricktop, simply a horrible cunt.

I think Sugar's a symptom, rather than an instigator but I do think that there's a current of hate-speech and hate-thought being stirred up internationally pour encourager les autres.  Hate is the new normal and people like Piers Morgan are smoothing the way.

[biggytitbo]

That's a bit over the top isn't it. Alan Sugar is exactly the same as he's always been - a cunt.

Bloody wooly wishy washer do gooder liberals don't want the death penalty for paedos and child murderers but are perfectly happy for Alan Sugar to be hung by the neck and decapitated for making a joke.

Well, yes.  This new Twatstorm hardly changed my opinion of the 'man', merely reinforced it.

Also, if at any point in your life Piers Morgan defends you - you're a cunt.

[phantom_power]

Well on BBC the other day they interviewed a couple of actual foreign black men and they both said they thought it was just a joke so case closed I think

Shows what sham their stupid twitter 'rivalry' is too.

Thats not good enough, only white mainstream journalists can tell if someone is racist or not so we should go by what guardian columnists say.

[momatt]

If two cunts argue on Twitter and I ignore them both, do they make a sound?

Dunno, but they're definitely still cunts.
