Sun suspends Kelvin MacKenzie after racial hate complaint

About time this repulsive turd got his comeuppance. Doubtless he'll be back next week, after Sun readers have forgotten, he's Rupert's favourite after all. Don't think Liverpool will ever forget though.

A obnoxious man from top to bottom who should have been out of his job a long time ago IMO.

Yes, sadly just suspended (until some people forget about it), not sacked.

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

The real question is how he managed to sneak it into The Sun before they suspended him for what they published.

Everton ban The Sun from their ground and training facilities.

I suspect that being around half-term and Easter the paper may have been light in editorial top staff. Did Mackenzie as an ex-editor know this and time his piece accordingly so it got published as a final two fingers to Liverpool or is he just inept?
Surely The Sun's editor would have instructed him to steer away from writing anything about the city of Liverpool?

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

Surely The Sun's editor should have done his job and vetoed anything that should not be published?

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

I've never heard of Ross Barkley so it's all lost on me. If I'd seen the article, it wouldn't have occurred to me that there was implied 'racism'. Surely reader perception is at least part of the issue?

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

I happen to have read the column and I think this is a total overreaction by generation snowflake that can't take a little bit of ribbing.

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

A bit dumb maybe, hardly racist, just more OTT reactions.

The internet seems to have turned people into super sensitives who get offended by anything.

I feel sorry for the generations to come, everyone will be afriad to have an opinion unless its sanctioned by the social media brigade.

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

l certainly am not offended by the remarks but l do think that Kelvin Mackenzie is a very obnoxious individual who personally l find very offensive and have done for a long while now but others might think differently of course.

What it's done is make it easy for them to express all that outrage (faux or otherwise), disgust or whatever without even getting out of their armchairs. I dare say it makes some of them feel better too whilst others are so sad they just get off on stirring up trouble wherever and however they can.

Re: Kelvin Mackenzie suspended by The Sun

While i agree that there is an over reaction if it rids us of KM for once I'm happy to ignore it as he really is an unpleasant person (family forum I'm being very polite) and a perfect example of what journalism shouldn't be.
