MAN THREATENS LEGAL ACTION OVER ‘RACIST SIGN’ AT SUFFOLK HOSPITAL

Southend News

By Chief Reporter - September 2017

Derek Malcolm, standing next to the sign that he feels is both 'racist and discriminatory' against black people.

A 34-year-old man from Southend has admitted that he is OUTRAGED after spotting a sign outside James Paget Hospital in Lowestoft that ‘discouraged him’ from going inside as he feels that it is racist and discriminatory.



Derek Malcolm, whose grandparents settled in the UK in 1959 after coming over from the West Indies, believes that the declaration that the hospital is ‘smoke free’ is unacceptable due to the way that the word ‘smoke’ can be interpreted to mean ‘black person.’

He told Southend News Network’s Chief Reporter that he intends to take his fight to the very highest level.

He said: ‘The word ‘smoke’ is just another horrible word that can be used to describe a black person, and while it is nowhere near as commonly-used as other terms in modern society, it is still an unacceptable insult to someone over the colour of their skin.’

Well I don't know if I have lead a sheltered life, but I never realised that smoke was anything other than smoke. A load of rubbish in my mind, and perhaps we should ban the phrase as white as snow in case it offends anyone. Perhaps to satisfy a small minority of loonies, we should just ban colours in general, goodness knows what could be made of things like yellow jaundice etc.

Christ there are some gullible people around these days. The Internet is a minefield of fake shit. I wonder how much money they made from this fabricated click bait?... Seems to be doing the job mind!

From the same article -

‘I also represent a group of 240 Italians who live in Wapping in East London – they are watching the situation with interest.’

Its actually incredible what some people will read and take for gospel these days. To be perfectly blunt it's also very worrying.

Really not quite sure what the point of the Southend News Network is.

It's either a bunch of lefties trolling with fake news or a really shit Daily Mash trying to make score political points.

Either way it's full of fake news like this nonsense.- best to ignore.
