I FEEL sorry for Andy Gray and Richard Keys for losing their jobs because of workplace banter.

Their comments are typical of what the vast majority of male conversations, both in and out of work.

I feel this politically correct country is no different to a fascist regime – one where people are prepared to report others if they don’t conform.

AFTER watching the condemnation of comments made by Sky Sports presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray concerning assistant referee Sian Massey, it is clear that those condemning their actions have never worked in a factory.

Had they ever done so they would know that the comments made by these men is nothing compared to the foul language, sexism and sexual innuendo that can be heard every day on a factory assembly line dominated by women.

If such behaviour did become a sackable offence then the very people who condemn Keys and Gray, would have to condemn the TV show Loose Women.

If the owners of Sky are so concerned about trying to end the culture of sexism, why do they then continue to broadcast pornography?
