Vardy Racism Row

[Mawsley]

Some does directly through subscriptions, the rest will come from advertising.

The companies will pay silly money to advertise as they get exposure to millions of fans.

So yes, it does come from the fans and as a result of the fans.

Fans came from Earth, which was formed from the sun, which agglomerated from the matter of other stars - which means the Big Bang is responsible. I blame Penny.

Blame me. I've been drinking, I'm an easy target.

Sorry, the correct answer was Dusty Bin.

 

[spionfox]

Yeah, but the point is that this will be stolen footage as the casino themselves won't have released it to the Sun.

Not the casino themselves as such, but certainly an employee of the casino.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Yeah, but the point is that this will be stolen footage as the casino themselves won't have released it to the Sun.

Not the casino themselves as such, but certainly an employee of the casino.

Either way, the casino is responsible for the security of the footage and so is in breach of the Data Protection Act. Vardy or the club would be well within their rights to report them.

 

[Lako42]

You lot have ruined a bloody good racism row.

Scum

 

[Fox Fan]

Not the casino themselves as such, but certainly an employee of the casino.

Yeah, and I don't imagine that employee was given permission to use this footage for personal gain, so it will be stolen by the employee and published by the Sun in full knowledge of this.

 

[spionfox]

Yeah, and I don't imagine that employee was given permission to use this footage for personal gain, so it will be stolen by the employee and published by the Sun in full knowledge of this.

Thereby making The Scum an accomplice to a criminal act. Bet they don't get charged though. Bleeding media.

There's a clear public interest defence.

 

[Matt_B]

There's a clear public interest defence.

Not really. Aside from the fact that the story isn't really in the public interest, I've never known anybody be excused theft because of it.

 

[Macky]

There's a clear public interest defence.

There's a clear difference between 'the public interest' and 'the public are interested'

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

There might be a public interest defence if Vardy was filmed engaged in activities that might threaten national security or be a part of some serious criminal conspiracy. What we have here is an incident that probably happens to many thousands of people in thousands of clubs up and down the land every Friday and Saturday night.

Move along please. Nothing to see here.

 

[homer]

There's a clear public interest defence.

No, no there isn't

Not by any definition whatsoever

 

[Blue Maniac]

There's a clear public interest defence.

As others have said, not remotely.

 

[TangledUpInBlue]

There's a clear public interest defence.

jb5000 Boooo !!! (Sorry mate just couldn't resist joining in - a sort of mob frenzy reaction)

 

[fitz]

Depends on who the jap is innit? If he's some powerful political nut job then it may be in the public interest.

I'd have thought in practice these have become pretty well merged in the last few years given society's pretty deep revulsion for the gap between public utterances and private behaviour of those in the public eye, whether snouts in the trough expenses exposes, sex scandals or racism.

It's a glorious gift for lazy journalists that a football club prominent in the "Kick it Out" campaign, in a markedly ethnically diverse city, can be shown to have a problem with the racial attitudes of its players. I'm just thankful at least that the "gentleman of East Asian appearance" seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth. Given the lamentable way in which the club have acted over the events uncovered so far this summer I have little doubt things have the potential to get much worse, in the public interest.

In what way are their actions lamentable? I mean in the real world, not in the court of public bollocks.

 

[Mawsley]

I demand the club sack players I think may do things I might find offensive in the future.

Sorry Ike, but you are a bit off beam here. It is the Sun newspaper that is at fault. Someone stole a security tape and sold it to the aforementioned publication. They then published parts of the security recording to coincide with the highly emotional memorial to Japan's horrific war time experience of having nuclear bombs explode over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The timing of the newspapers 'scoop' was quite deliberate it was designed to cause maximum embarrassment to Leicester City Football Club and the King Power Company via Jamie Vardy. I have no doubt the Jamie Vardy genuinely regrets his behaviour, but in reality it should never have been made public. The Clubs response has been appropriate, and whilst comparisons have been drawn between this episode and the 'sex tape', the two situations are totally different. The one constant in both however is the 'King Power' brand I do wonder if this is the real target given Rupert Murdoch's world wide business interests which go well beyond the media, however he wouldn't hesitate to use this if he thought such reporting was in his financial interests.
