      They didn't mind but said it might be a health and safety problem if someone tripped over it.
      The old man went to his last year's Comic Relief fancy dress at work day, wearing nothing but his thong. They were just calling Security, when he explained he was dressed as a premature ejaculation, as he'd just come in his pants.

        I do think we need OP to post a link to said content that got him fired. So that we can properly assess the legitimacy of said offence

        To add: It does remind me of a video I saw on liveleak where someone managed to hack into a public display in a Mexican shopping centre, and play out some porn instead of the usual music videos and adverts. Most entertaining - but I better not post the link.

              Sorry, what?! It’s 2019 and you’re spouting racist tripe.

              Mods, perhaps a temporary ban for this nonsense?

              You assume someone’s a foreigner on a work visa because of their writing. That’s really the basis of xenophobia. I’d rather be rid of your type in the UK personally.

                You should be more tolerant of other people’s views. You might not agree but censorship is surely not the answer.

                Perhaps you should be banned for wanting him out of the UK?
                At least the OP might have somewhere else to go.... a bigoted UK citizen doesn’t.

                  Asking for a ban? How clever.

                    I notice you stopped short of calling for a ban for calling for a ban.....

                      Gore videos - yech! I like murder mysteries and horror films but not into watching graphic stuff. Silent Witness is getting a bit yuck recently.

                      PS Tho' I make make an exception if it was Ken Clarke or Blair or Juncker being tortured.
