Using a stereotype/generalisation to draw a conclusion about two very unrelated parts of the world. Would we draw the same conclusion about an attack in Brazil meaning people in Portugal should keep their street smarts about them? There are already more than enough Westerners in Qatar and it's adjoining neighbours to have raised security concerns if there were any (and there may well be, but they should already exist).
Or something like that. I would say it was lazy and typical of the UK to be honest from what I read and hear, but I would have just let it pass as not being overtly racist. Jayo is just being his internet self, not sure why everyone suddenly wants him to be agreeable. Audrey was being Audrey.
Thanks rob. I now bow out of the argument. I still can't see anything wrong. I'm as racist, as big a cunt and as fucking retarded as Audrey.

OK seeing as how this sub plot is going to run on here, FWIW here's my take. Audrey questioned whether the events in Tunisia, would add security to the list of concerns over Qatar, quoting corruption and heat as the two others. The simple answer is no. Firstly, 7 years away assuming it happens is a long time, and secondly there is now massive security at all WC and Olympic events. In fact a country like Qatar, which operates under an oppressive regime, should have no more problem than any other. Jayo, may be mixing up racism with "Islamophobia" a hint of which it is perhaps possible to detect in Audrey's question, if interpreted in that way by the reader, but maybe not implied by the writer...such is the nature of ambiguity. Either way they should have and then

Fair enough it was a bit of an overreaction, but as he isn't here to apologise to, what would people like me to do?

Set up and run a sort of cover band type account called FrAudrey who posts exclusively in the style of Audrey.

Hopefully Audrey/Kerry sees it and joins back up, and the usual bollocks can return to normal now.

Can't we just go round and round in circles having pointless arguments for a few more weeks? It's far more interesting than the lack of news from the County Ground

Don't give in the lynch mob, call them all cunts and ban everyone! If you must go soft offer to do something with ink and Audrey's balls.

FIFA have announced their election on 26th Feb...around 9 months after Blatter resigned...or did he?!!
Surely postal voting to the 208 countries would've been quicker !!
