    The only issue with pigs is they say it’s Wendy/United we know it’s both.

    Disagree, I used to have a big round badge in the eighties that said "Hillsborough, biggest piggery in the North". Don't remember anyone calling the Blades pigs in them days.

    What I find offensive is being called a C word just because we're fat, fat yes, C word no. :confused:

    It's nothing new...............

    "It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f*cking what."

    I think it depends where you are wearing such a shirt , a number of years ago I was in Jerez in Spain to go to the Metalway Festival , Saxon were playing along with some other bands Sodom , Crucified Barbara , Blind Guardian , Angels del Inferno . We drove in , couldn’t find it until we saw a bloke with a T-shirt saying **** Jesus on it , we followed him and he took us straight to the Festival entrance. I don’t think the T-shirt she was wearing was out of context with where she had been or going to , a political rally

    The **** the EU T-Shirts on the Brexit Rally in London not so long ago didn’t seem to bring a lot of criticism .
    Loads of people stood near police officers laughing and joking ,stood near cameras and plastered all over news .
    It’s who the message is aimed at that’s that’s the thing , if it had said **** Starmer they’d have been laughing and joking .

    I also wonder if it had been a large bloke wearing it whether the police would have acted as they did.

    I worked in Sheffield for donkeys years and the Blunts were always known as the pigs and their fans took to calling the Fowls pigs as some form of retaliation. The reason the Blunts were called pigs is that the red and white stripes were supposed to resemble streaky bacon.
