Fox News fires Bob Beckel for 'making an insensitive remark' to black employee

Fox News on Friday announced that it had fired "The Five" co-host Bob Beckel for a remark he made to an employee of color.

"Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee," a network spokesperson said in a short statement.

It wasn't immediately clear who would replace Beckel on "The Five" and Fox News did not provide details on the incident that led to his firing. Beckel was not immediately available for comment.

Douglas Wigdor and Jeanne Christensen, lawyers handling a growing racial discrimination lawsuit filed by current and former Fox employees, said in a joint statement that Beckel told one of their clients, a black IT worker, that he was leaving the office while the employee serviced his computer because the employee is black. When the IT worker filed a complaint, Beckel attempted to intimidate him to withdraw it, Wigdor and Christensen said.

Of all the things to get fired over...what a dick-head...

Homes becoming too expensive. Here may be an explanation why.

Same problem in London - and spreading throughout the U.K.

I've posted before about the control of land use and ownership - (a view which explains why I dismiss Jeremy Corbin as far too right wing for me!

) But seeing homes as an investment is something we should all be wary of when far too many are homeless or housed in poor conditions.

Hoping one day that the bough will break.

At the 2:20 point in the above video a Erdogan supporter in a yellow shirt has a bloodied head. The initial fight is on the Erdogan side of the street. In the next few minutes a woman is shown throwing stuff at the Erdogan side. Then a few members of the Erdogan side cross the street and the fight is on. That video only shows that the other side drew first blood.

The only other thing that was really noticeable was that most of the participants - including the DC Police - seemed to exercise by eating donuts.

The same thing has been going on here also.
British Columbia has instituted a foreign buyers tax and Ontario is currently doing the same.
We are all worried that our kids will never be able to afford a home of thier own.

Manchester Arena blast: 19 dead and more than 50 hurt
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-40007886

There's lots of touchy feely crap being spouted by now but the only real question here is what cowardly Jihadi twat committed this attack and did they die.

The Police are tied by PC rules but we ALL know it would have been an Islamic attack as it took place on the softest of targets a concert which would have been largely filled with families. Was it a placed bomb or is another Jihadi Jizzball on their way to their imaginary paradise which must by now be filled with a horde of murderous twats and some very tired looking "virgins"

Sadly due to the nature of these cowardly Islamic scumbags they have an issue with anyone wanting to enjoy themselves, that's what happens when people spend most of their time learning from a morally twisted rag of a book like the Koran and fuck all time in the real world learning how to interact with others with different views.

My heart goes out to all the injured and dead, I was due to go the Arena next Tuesday to see KISS, no doubt that will be cancelled but these lowlife Islamic throwbacks won't stop me wanting to keep seeing my favourite bands

Fuck Islam Keep on Singing

The BBC are saying that it was a suicide bomber and that He is among the dead.

**haroldeye** · May 23rd, 2017, 07:38 AM

There are ways to make sure that he doesn't go to heaven. Perhaps we should start using them.

Doubtless the Police will say that he was a 'lone wolf' (though that description gives a veneer of heroic acceptabilty rather than calling a sad little wanker with no social skills) but these people do not act on their own. Someone somewhere is pulling the strings and they must be found and dealt with.
