Just seen this comment from him on Twitter.

"So many fat ugly stupid people on the Heath each with at least 6 children and of course the obligatory staff/pitbull Hideous #spoiling my day.

Stereotype much?

who is he stereotyping?

he is just commenting on what he saw

Wheezo · 27/05/2012 16:49

I wonder whether all the fat ugly stupid families are now tweeting about misanthropic 'actors' with limited acting range they saw gambolling on the heath, dreaming of the day they stop being offered the same Eastend nobbo wheeler dealer type TV roles and achieve a career they can finally be proud of, .....instead of decidedly bitter about.

Hope so.

Fab post Wheezo. I nearly spilled my coffee.

But don't most people think the same of anybody that voices an opinion they don't agree with? Confused

Surely the best thing to do is not acknowledge the comment at all, ignore them completely? All you've done is repeat the comment here when many people - myself included - aren't on Twitter, wouldn't have seen it and been none the wiser...

WizardofOs · 27/05/2012 16:51

I think he has a bit of a cheek with regards to the ugly part since he is no oil painting.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/05/2012 16:51

I was going to ask who Neil Stuke was, but I just don't care...

JosephineCD · 27/05/2012 16:52

He's absolutely correct, it's horrible to have a nice day in the countryside ruined by chavvy types. They drink and the leave their rubbish everywhere. Disgusting people.

Pochemuchka · 27/05/2012 16:52

What a charming man. No surprises that he is a Matthew Wright affiliate.

Pochemuchka · 27/05/2012 16:57

Josephine, he didn't mention them leaving any rubbish or behaving in an anti social manner. His comments were simply stereotypes loaded with judgement. Especially the bit about them being 'fat, ugly and stupid' and the implied sneering at the 'at least 6 children'. None of those constitutes a crime/anti social behaviour as far as I'm aware.

JosephineCD · 27/05/2012 17:01

Well people that have 6 children are irresponsbile IMO.

manicbmc · 27/05/2012 17:07

I've seen plenty of the so-called middle classes leaving their rubbish behind and expecting others to pick up after them.

Neil Stuke is an arse.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/05/2012 17:08

Just because someone is out with 6 children, doesn't mean they have 6 children. Could be nephews, friends, childminders and mindees...

tartyflette · 27/05/2012 17:10

Nice try, Josephine !

Dprince · 27/05/2012 17:10

Can some explain how its a stereotype. he has commented on what he has seen

mumtoone123 · 27/05/2012 17:17

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe then we wouldn't have the opportunity to slag off Neil Stuke.

YANBU - he is a knob IMO.

I assumed you were being tongue in cheek JosephineCD haha?

carernotasaint · 27/05/2012 17:18

Fat ugly and stupid are extremely nasty comments. Its just really fucking nasty.

OP posts:
LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/05/2012 17:19

Fair enough, mumtoone but if you get outraged people posting it will be ALL YOUR FAULT for passing on the cretinous comments. Wink

mumtoone123 · 27/05/2012 17:20

I would imagine that he isn't actually commenting on what he is seeing but being a knob, Dprince

lazilou · 27/05/2012 17:20

and foul mouth obscenities are so charming arent they :)

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 27/05/2012 17:21

OP's fault, rather... Grin

OP... stop it with the outrage - you're loving the opportunity to start a bunfight over some moronic twit's comment on twitter.

mumtoone123 · 27/05/2012 17:22

Lying hehe, not my fault, blame carernotasaint Grin
It's hot and sticky, best to let the outrage all out on here :-)

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 27/05/2012 17:22

Fat ugly are a point of view. Unless he handed out some Mensa tests stupid seems a bit of a generalisation to me.

MarySA · 27/05/2012 17:24

No idea who he is. And who cares what he thinks anyway. I love pitbulls, and fat people with 6 kids.

startail · 27/05/2012 17:28

I could do without aggressive looking dogs (even if they are softies) because DH and DD1 are really twitchy about them.

Dprince · 27/05/2012 17:36

I agree he is a dick, but don't agree its stereotyping.
