Blown out of proportion if anything. A dumb thing to do but I doubt he was advocating mass genocide.

An apology and a fine from club and/or FA would have sufficed rather than it being dragged out the way it has.

I agree entirely. I don’t think he’s actually a na zi and this was him proudly showing it off.

I think he’s an idiot who thought he was being funny.

He must be Fuhrerious.

A load of nonsense. He's done nothing wrong. It's time we stopped being so sensitive about things that happened in the past.

I guess this was the final solution hitting him with a fine

What a country though. Will get worse.

Under Corbyn, we'll have citizen sentencing committees, made up ideological purists and hypocrites like Sizzle. People will be getting charged for thought crime all the time.

John Cleese will be next.

Stupid of him to do it given he's in the spotlight but even more stupid of the authorities to charge him for it.

Let's just charge everyone who does or says anything offensive shall we, regardless of context or intent

What was prince Harry's punishment?

And on this weeks question time we have Wayne Hennessey Nigel Farage Jacob Rees Mogg and Tommy Robinson to debate why freedom of speech is being denied

These photos are very subjective. I’ve been embroiled in one at work where it looks like I am looking at the HR lady breasts but the issue is she is almost 60 and I’m not into saggy breasts.

ok

what do you think hennesey's punishment should be?

More importantly, how would you punish someone who makes a joke that is deemed offensive?

How many people does it need to offend to be deemed offensive?

How is offence defined?

Offence is defined by how much faux rage somebody the issue doesn't concern in the slightest can muster

A fine is enough for Hennessey.I dont believe he is into that kind of nonsense.He was foolish

Punishment for jokes that are deemed offensive are a
matter of discretion.

2.

annoyance or resentment brought about by a perceived insult to or disregard for oneself.

"he made it clear he'd taken offence"

synonyms:annoyance, anger, resentment, indignation, irritation, exasperation, wrath, displeasure,disapproval, dislike, hard/bad/ill feelings, disgruntlement

He'd have been let off if he played for Pool

True dat.

Bet Hennessey Hitler roof when he heard the news.

I’m fairly sure that genuine disciples of national socialism typically perform the salute without “doing the moustache”.

Were any of you who are making National Socialism or Holocaust jokes also complaining about Ace's misogyny or sexuality jokes? Just wondering...

this doesn't really make any sense

If anyone was actually making Holocaust jokes then surely they'd feel just as comfortable making misogyny or sexuality jokes. Why would they be complaining

Ace's comments were completely facetious and he obviously didn't believe them and it was obvious he was joking. Ridiculous that he was banned

I was just surprised that people were complaining about Ace's comments not long ago but now lots of people are making Holocaust jokes.

Was wondering if any of them were the same people.

Also wondering if all the people who were offended by Ace's jokes are also offended by Holocaust jokes, or if they're acceptable now

All jokes are acceptable, get off yer soap box
