Kelvin MacKenzie...

[Elmyn Noos]

I would tell him what I thought of him. I would do it articulately but with a graphic inferred malice that would unnerve even the thickest-skinned human.

 

I have the awesome power to make people feel genuinely thoroughly hated, and he is one of the few people I would use it on. I reckon I could make him cry.

You should film that and send it in the you've been framed. I want to know what Harry Hill will say in the voiceover.

Something about badgers I'd imagine.

[aws]

I'd explain to him in an impassioned but calm manner why what he has done is unacceptable even by tabloid standards so that he could appreciate that he has offended me in a way which I can address rationally rather than by mindless violence. Only when he has understood that would I deck him.

[Acid]

I honestly dont think he'd care. Think of the amount of times people like you guys would have had the chance to tell him how much of a cock he is, and hes still the same... just punch him and run.

[Section_31]

I'd chase him down the street wearing only my dressing gown while shouting "wwwwwwwwwoooooooooo norman!"

They must have rhino-thick skin these newspaper types. I was having a pre test match brekkie in Headingley earlier this year, and a woman walks into the place and announces to the waiter that she "is with the Daily Mail group". I turned round and said to her that I'd be fucking embarrassed to say that out loud in a public place if I were her, and proceeded to discuss loudly with my mates the many reasons I hate the Daily Mail. She didn't react at all, and probably just thought I was a right cunt. She was right of course, and had she printed as much in her column she might have gone up a little in my estimation. But she didn't, as that would have been a fact, and facts have no place in the printed press.

[Captain]

Ignore him. Even he doesn't believe the shit he's written, he's just an attention-seeking twat - why give him what he wants?

 

He wants to have his head punched in?

Thats the third time I've tried to rep you today only to be told there's a tampon up my rephole.

 

Remind me when the rep river is flowing again and you shall be rewarded.

Fatima Manji has responded to the cunt and given it as an exclusive to the Echo which is a nice touch.

 

Fatima Manji: The Truth - why Kelvin MacKenzie's smears won't stop me from doing my job

 

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Muslim Channel Four News journalist writes for the ECHO after former S*n editor's criticism

 

Former S*n editor Kelvin MacKenzie sparked more than 800 complaints to press regulator Ipso after criticising Fatima Manji for wearing a Hijab on Channel Four News while reporting on the Nice attack.

 

Writing exclusively for the ECHO, Fatima sets out exactly why he was so wrong

 

It would be easy to dismiss Kelvin MacKenzie as an embarrassing, and serially embarrassed, relic of a bygone era in British journalism.

 

After all, this is the man who slurred survivors of one of our most tragic national atrocities of recent decades. It took him 23 years to apologise and four more to claim he was “caught up” in a government conspiracy to tarnish Hillsborough victims, only after being confronted by brave campaigners and responsible journalists, including my Channel 4 News colleague Alex Thomson and the tireless team at the Liverpool Echo.

 

So I’m not expecting an apology from him any time soon.

 

The Sun, you will recall, is the newspaper that appears at ease with its columnists describing refugees dying at sea as “cockroaches”.

 

But it’s dangerous to regard Mr MacKenzie and those who echo his Islamophobic sentiments as mere pantomime villains. Their soapbox allows them to spread their ill-informed, irresponsible and malevolent invective to millions of readers. Racist and Islamophobic rhetoric has real consequences – lives have been lost and shattered in our own country.

 

I was grief-stricken by the massacre in Nice, particularly by the haunting image of a little girl’s corpse laying next to the doll that was once her companion.

 

Mr MacKenzie seemed to find my appearance on his screen equally horrific: ‘The scenes from Nice shocked audiences around the world, but did the C4 hosts (sic) headress (sic)?’

 

Mr MacKenzie’s article was but one wild screed in a long-running and widespread campaign to intimidate Muslims out of public life. Young men and women of all backgrounds regularly ask me for advice on how to forge a career in journalism. Mr MacKenzie’s monologue will frighten many of them into believing that they will be on the end of tabloid attacks merely for daring to do their jobs.

 

‘Was it done to stick one in the eye of the ordinary viewer who looks at the hijab as a sign of the slavery of Muslim women by a male-dominated and clearly violent religion?’

 

Kelvin MacKenzie has attempted to smear 1.6 billion Muslims in suggesting they are inherently violent. He has attempted to smear half of them further by suggesting they are helpless slaves. And he has attempted to smear me by suggesting I would sympathise with a terrorist.

 

In response to this, I have received kind messages from friends, colleagues, acquaintances and even those I have never met, expressing solidarity and anger at his words.

 

However, others took Mr MacKenzie’s column as licence to manufacture a debate on whether someone like me even belongs on screen. Among them was the Guardian’s Roy Greenslade, who chose to cite the views of his ‘woman friend’ to give Mr MacKenzie’s jackbooted variety of Islamophobia some liberal credence. Meanwhile, other outlets have taken to discussing whether or not I am a 'token'.

 

The truth is I always pride myself on journalistic integrity regardless of who I’m interviewing or what story I’m covering.

 

That is my mission at Channel 4 News. I will not be deterred in this mission by the efforts of those who find the presence of Muslims in British cultural life offensive.

 

THE TRUTH? I confess. I pi**ed on Kelvin MacKenzie’s apparent ambitions to force anyone who looks a little different off our screens, and I’ll keep doing it.

Been to a funeral today, Sad affair made even sadder by being reminded this cunt still walks and breathes

[tokyojoe]

Why is there a thread at all devoted to this cunt?

[cloggypop]

Hopefully Silverlining will go postal and murder the cunt at work. It would be a good way of focusing his anger issues.

[General Dryness]

Grind the parents up in chile and feed them to him is the best way says Eric Cartman.

Good idea, I'm not sure why you'd go all the way to South America to do it though.

[VladimirIlyich]

Could we make an appropriate change to the thread title by putting the word 'cunt' before it please?
