Yep, our Jim is a bit of a tosser alright..always has been too.
Anyone else watching Hells Kitchen last nite? What an absolute disgrace of a human being. How Brian Dowling didnt smack him one I will never know.
What got me most was his comment about him being a minority & being "normal". God almighty. Was trying to get myself settled down to sleep but got so riled up about it couldnt sleep for ages. Thank god he is gone and hope his career is down the pan now.

I was never a fan but am such a live & let live kinda person that until I say how biggoted he was towards Brian the last few nights, he has moved into my "people to boycott" box (Thats where Ms Moss & Mr Doherty currently reside too)
Complete t0sser. How come his TV career went down the pan? Remember his presenting Big Break and one or two other shows before he disappeared...

don't really mind him too much. yes he is extremely rude, obnoxious, racist, sexist ... etc. but that has been his humour for what 20 years or so.
This is just another example of how crazily PC the world is going.
-i must admit to not seeing the show but i am just commenting in general
Aww. I thought he was dead when I saw the thread title.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.

I was shocked at his use of some biggoted terms. I was reading the transcript of what was said there a few mins ago and itv have left out what I found most offensive. He said something along the lines of "well what about a white normal person like me" then proceeded to call himself old & fat or something but the inferrance that Brian & gay people were less than normal really got to me.

BTW just for the record, Brian Dowling is far from "Normal". Nothing to do with him being gay, but ****ing hell is he annoying*
Oh and I haven't seen the show either

as i said i didn't see the show but the link insuinated he was thrown off the show for using the term 'shirt lifter'. what did the producers expect when they asked jim davidson onto the show. he has been racist, sexist, .... etc for the last couple of decades. it is akin to bringing a wino into your house and then giving out when he p1sses on the sofa!
this old chestnut! what attitude??? all i said is he is everything that he has been accused of so why expect anything different!
oh and btw go into a bar in the deep south and talk about 'gay pride' and see how pc.....
or go into a bar on the falls and talk about the greatness of the monarchy ....
or go to israel talking about palistanian rights ....
or go to the shankill road and talk about a united ireland ....
or go to any place where the common viewpoint differs from an extreme view and you will get a negative reaction so what is your point!
I was watching the show and he said 'and what about a heterosexual, normal white person like me'.. Unfortunately it isn't just Jim Davidson or people of his age that have these views. I was kissing a guy in a (non-gay) club in Dublin a few weeks ago and I had three different guys in their early twenties come up and verbally abuse me because of witnessing this with one saying he would 'get me' when I left. I know that you shouldn't resort to violence but I have punched people for using homophobic slurs in my presence before and I would probably do it again.
I know, my dad, one of the sweetest men in the world, would probably use some of the terms that Jim did but not mean them in a vicious way. That is no excuse & I did see Jim's point that he is of a generation where they would say things like that but he is an intelligent man and should educate himself and restrain himself against using such terms.
BTW very sorry you had to put up with such abuse.

Seems rather tame to me. Brian Dowling is so annoying, Jim was winding him up. Don't like Jim Davidson, never did. But if you want some real hatred try this
GodHatesIreland.com
http://www.godhatesfags.com/sermons/sermons.htmlAnd now, back to our new Website, – God Hates Ireland.com. Back on March 10, 2003, we
warned America about Ireland’s sad, sick, sodomite culture and fag Irish Senator David
Norris’s case before the European Court of Human (i.e., Fag) Rights. (Incidentally, the
“Openly-Gay” fag Irish Senator Norris was represented before that Strasbourg European Fag
Court, by the famous Dyke-Enabler and Irish President, Mary Robinson.) Because we in
America had a similar case – Lawrence v. Texas – pending before the Supreme Court
Its a disgrace and am glad that ITV removed him from the show. A nasty wee man.
Thats shocking Ringo! However I dont think it is ever "tame" to really upset someone the way Brian was. Also dont think referring to yourself as "normal" while slagging off gay men can be condoned.

Davidson has made a career off of pawning himself out to the BNP types in Britain with his racist, homophobic nonsense and Hell's Kitchen should have known better than to put him on to spout his nonsense, we're better off without him, Bernard Manning and their like being on the box so good riddance.
And why is everyone so obsessed with this GodHatesIreland thing? Bigots are bigots and they aren't the first to hate Ireland
I don't find Dowling annoying at all.. I do agree that is was tame compared to some stuff you see but it still shouldn't happen.
As for the GodHatesFags bunch I wouldn't pass to much remarks to people who are against homosexuality because of something that is written in the bible. People's religious views on how I should live my life are of no interest to me. It is the people who hate homosexuals for other reasons that really scare and upset me.
