John Terry is a horrible guy. I dont' think he's an out-and-out "classic" racist, but he's a piece of work nonetheless. But I'm not sure why shouting something racist should be illegal? Isn't that what freedom of speech is all about, ie freedom to spout shit and make yourself look like a dick?

If you think someone's a ****, and you want to 'hurt' their feelings, it's only natural to pick on something distinctive, and different from yourself, and stick **** on the end! ie. little **** - lanky **** - four eyed **** - bald **** - long haired **** - nothern **** - southern **** - black ****....etc...
