Chip shop owner forced to remove a 'racist' sign boasting that his business now had 'English owners' after threats to burn it down
First topic message reminder :
A chip shop owner has removed a ‘racist’ banner boasting that the business now had ‘English owners’, after his predecessor received threats to burn it down.
Previous owner Paul Bradbury - who put the sign up at The Chippy on the Green in Padiham, Lancashire, after taking it over last August - has gone back to Liverpool with his wife Rachel after shutting up shop.
The couple had put a banner outside which said ‘Under new management with English owners’ - but Mr Bradbury said that he received two threatening phone calls from people calling him racist. They left the shop and moved away from the area earlier this year - and new owner Sotos Orfanides has now adapted the sign to read ‘Under new management with English meals’. He said: ‘I don’t think the original sign was racist, but there was a big thing about it being racist. No one is racist in this shop. They were English and they were serving some English food. ‘I changed the sign because people were calling and threatening to burn the shop down.

The man didn't say anything about the previous owners being English or not English - that's the spin you've put on it. You make such a fuss over everything, it's a wonder you can sleep at night.
So you think that "Ethnic Russians" exist but not "Ethnic English" people? Why are you denying English people the right to have their own ethnicity?
Here we go round the mulberry bush.
Been through this argument already, read back.
So why did he need to announce he was English, when the previous owners were English and that he stated people wanted to be served by English being as the place had not many customers, though I think we know why he did not have many now?
I can do this all day, you are bags of fun to play with
Already stated English is an ethnicity, can you not read?
What do you think American English are?
Polish?
Still waiting for you to answer my questions
Her we go around the dodge the question time
You dodged my question. What did you mean by "English enough"?

It's just the dailyfuckwit playing the race card and shit stirring again, one must remember where the dailyfuckwit comes from and it's minority appeal to small minded little englanders.
"Gordon Birtwistle MP said: 'I would rather it didn’t say what it did. It would be better if it said "serving good quality food to the community". If it is causing consternation to people, it should either be taken down or changed.'
Mayor of Padiham, Coun Vincent Pridden said: 'I don’t think it’s a very positive message to be putting out in the community. If it’s causing upset, the council should look into it.'
Gary Curson, a teacher at West Craven High School in Barnoldswick who lives near the shop, said he would not set foot in the takeaway again.
He said racism was ‘alive and well in Padiham’.
He said: 'We’ve used that chip shop when it was run by other people, who were well liked and respected in the community. I wouldn’t go in there now and neither would many of the people I know.
'Half a dozen local people I’ve spoken to since yesterday have said they are disgusted by what it says.
'It’s not a positive message to put out to children which go to local schools that you should prefer to go into a shop run by one sort of people. It’s not good for them or for the community.
'Burnley is supposed to be an enterprising, multi-cultural place. Asian people run the shop just down the road. This gives a very bad impression of the area and could well upset people.'
Local councillor Joanne Greenwood said: 'It’s not helpful at all and it could well upset people and I can see why. I certainly don’t think it’s necessary to say that.'
Lancashire Police say they have not yet received any complaints about the banner."
Looking at the information provided it seems that this is a multicultural community that works, and naturally this is what the RWhinge fear the most.

You dodged my question. What did you mean by "English enough"?
Fucking priceless, where you have avoided not only these points but countless others and you want me to answer something you cannot?
In other words to you when does somebody become English?
You see easy to answer questions, but you get to them and run a mile, ha ha ha ha
You are also boring to debate, I need someone who has a brain like Tea, now he is very intelligent and makes me work hard to debate and to be honest, I was in a corner until I re-read the article, because his point was valid, but as seen I have evidence to back mine.
That is why I enjoy debating Tea and can admit when he has the better of a debate

I am asking you a very simple question, I am not making a statement about English, see this is why you are clueless.
What is it that makes someone become English?
Born here?
Born two generations?
3?
More?
Descended fully to the Angles?
Can you see the point now?
Seriously do I have to spell out everything in basic ABC fashion for you?
Never seen such a person wiggle out of so many questions just like Matti.

I can't take you seriously because nearly all of your posts are peppered with insults, and because you flounced and came back the next day. If you think I'm clueless, why bother to ask me any questions at all?

And yet again a copout reply with no answers to my questions.You are cluless on racism, by your own admission, being as you do not know anybody that has been a victim to racism, let alone understand it.
As I say you are great entertainment to watch you wiggle.

I don't care about the sign.
I think people complaining about the sign are whiney
I think people making threats over the sign are degenerates.

The guy was just a bit of a dickhead even more so that he sold English, Chinese food, kebabs and pizza as well.
If I saw that sign I'd basically just walk by thinking he was being stupid.

Seen several signs saying, "halal butchers" could that be seen as racist? as it is aimed at Muslims only.

Dodge you bell end, English is an ethnicity in it's own right. If you are Greek or Asian, then you are not ethnically English.
Why are you so intent on undermining English identity?
If I and my English wife moved to China and had a child, that child would not all of a sudden be Chinese.

Matti we know you are a racist, if that child wanted to be identified as Chinese that child would be, you have no say in the matter, when that child is grown up. The child would also be a Chinese national who could apply for British citizenship also if who lived in China.
Here we go again with English identity, something nobody on this forum can actually define.

[quote="Cass"]Re: the threats ....if they were made (and the offenders found and are punished appropriately) then WHY didn't he go to the police?
Seriously if someone made threats against me or my family or livelihood I would be down the cop shop with every but of proof I could lay me hands on.
But it seems very fishy that he didn't. Perhaps he mis-read his customer base and his profits went down the toilet?
Personally I think he was an idiot but then again he has the right to be an idiot.
Bump. Anyone want to throw their 2 cents worth in on this?

Hi Me Lady
I do not think he was really threatened, more like abuse hurled at him, because lets face it like you say and agree if your life is threatened, you would really fear it was and seek protection.
The place seemed to being doing well under the previous owners, if you read the original article and this has much to do with him holding racial vies and a lack of business, no doubt has poor people skills as seen by his comments. If he thinks that way of people, how is he like thus with customers.
Again the Mail loves stories like this but even here the Mail could not hide the real story, this man was a complete idiot.

It would be interesting to talk to the previous owners and the new owners to see how their profit margins were/are.
I think it was raggamuffin who said the banner was quite out of keeping with the street ....I agree.

Anyway I agree with your idea of not being threatened - more like he was told he was a knob head so in order to do damage limitation caused by his stupidity he went to the press who lets face it, are always looking for a story to get people riled up on a small or non-exisitent pretext.

I do not think he was really threatened, more like abuse hurled at him, because lets face it like you say and agree if your life is threatened, you would really fear it was and seek protection.
The place seemed to being doing well under the previous owners, if you read the original article and this has much to do with him holding racial vies and a lack of business, no doubt has poor people skills as seen by his comments. If he thinks that way of people, how is he like thus with customers.
Again the Mail loves stories like this but even here the Mail could not hide the real story, this man was a complete idiot.
It would be interesting to talk to the previous owners and the new owners to see how their profit margins were/are.
I think it was raggamuffin who said the banner was quite out of keeping with the street ....I agree.
Fair point me Lady, again his views were very stupid to be honest, if you want to attract customers in a multicultural area, the last thing you do is draw the wrong attention to yourself, which as seen can have the affect where they end up selling the business. None of this would have occurred with a sign saying under new Management. In fact doing even that can be bad if the previous owners were popular, what you do is draw on their popularity to gain these customers yourself.
A life lesson to be learnt

Chinese Nationality, with English ethnicity.
Not difficult is it, hence why I am of English nationality of Irish and Sicilian ethnicity.
Though if you delve further you will no doubt find even more ethnic groups within yourself, so really an ethnic groups is defined by a nation itself and in this country the English ethnicity is made up up multiple ethnic groups.

The Mail loves stories like that, but again people do not read between the lines, they see the headline, skim the story and come to a conclusion he has been somehow denied being English, it happens all the time.
Just suprised Muslim was not thrown into boot to use something to target the blame on, that is the normal scenario, you know man paints his door with English colours, Muslims blamed even though no complaints from them, Muslims agree he should paint his door as he sees fit, Muslims blamed for Halal in Pizza Express, they though want meat to be labelled.
Target a group with blame and it is easy for people to associate with that, as they can blame all their woes onto others as has been countless times in history, and sadly it is also what sells stories

And the man in chip shop was English ethnicity and English nationality, so what is the problem with him announcing that an English chip shop, selling English food, in England, is also run by an English person?
And, Mo Farrah was born in Somalia, of Somalian ethnicity parents, so he is, Somalian.

No he is English nationality also of Somalian ethnicity, still not grasping it and again the English ethnicity is made up of multiple ethnicity.
The previous owners were also English
So Kebabs and Pizza's are now traditional English foods?
Also Fish and Chips originated from a Jewish refugee couples from Spain and Portugal, so even that is not really English by design English but adapted to become an English tradition, you see multiculturalism at work for you

Listen to the stinking hypocrisy on here....some try to deny English authenticity is made up of many cultures ...
But would be more than delighted if a black Englishman scored a winning goal for England in a big match.
This is getting to the point of hilarity is this thread.

He is not English.
Previous owners were Greek and Asian.
This man is English and there is nothing wrong with him saying he is English.

I rest my case Matti has the same mentality as Mr Bradley.
So by Matti's logic the Queen is not English but German, her son Charles is German and Greek and Nigel Farage is also German, according to Matti

The chip man is English, both nationality and ethnically, there is nothing wrong with him saying his shop is new management and English owned.
Seems that every other ethnicity on earth can claim loudly to be English, except the ethnically English.....!!!
All in the name of equality mind...... how very progressive!!!
