Pikey comment

[Pervert]

Yeah, but a pretty enlightened fat cunt.

As opposed to Chris Moyles.

There are -at least down here- English and Irish travellers (who rarely mixed in the past), so 'pikey' cannot describe a single ethnic group. Anyone using it in a derogatory way, aiming at a particular ethnic group because you're a bigot, is showing even more ignorance on that person's part.

'Pikey', in reality, is more of a class slur.

Sam, if you were ever to be beaten, robbed and sodomised by a homosexual black Irish liberal traveller (or 'Nikey', as I call them), it would probably do you the world of good, in the long run.

I wonder if 'underclass' will soon become an offensive word?

[Sam Slater]

Steve, keep me out of your secret, sexual fantasies - for the love of god....

[Steve R]

!oops!

[Robches]

I'm sick of the fucking thought police teling me what I can and can't say.

In an edition of 'Top Gear', James May made a "pikey" comment and no one batted an eye-lid.
