I thought Chris Whitty’s response was spot on when asked about this at yesterday’s press conference. Can’t help but like the bloke.
He said something along the lines of: the young lad was showing off. Whitty was surprised it was picked up by the media and he is sure the lad will become a model citizen in due course, like captain Tom.
I am so grateful I didn't grow-up with social media. The kid was being an absolute di ck, and owes CW an apology, which it sounds like his Mum is making sure happens, but 30+ years on, I still cringe about things I said and did when I was that kid's age. It's some immature kno b showing-off and being rude - not the first time that's happened.
And yeah, getting his play station confiscated, and his Mum chewing his ear off and having to deal with the tabloids, and publicly apologise for him, should hopefully teach him a lesson. He's lucky to have a Mum who gives a sh it - plenty don't.

This exactly. I think we all did stupid things as kids. We just didn't have a global platform to do it on.
Tune into "the squad" on BBC 5 live on Sunday morning. Man utd/ Liverpool/ Arsenal fans from Hackney. They ALL talk like that!! Little shit needs a clip round the earhole. If I did that when I was his age , I'd get a hiding from the old man. No question!! I was no saint but respect your elders or your Xbox will be taken away!!

I've just been informed by #1 son (23, stuck living at home - started new job today, so looking up), "That's what kids that age talk like, don't the kids in your school?"

That's his problem on mention of the father. More than likely lives with just Mum and can do what he wants.

Well, not in (primary) school they don't...
We live in Watford and its crept into my daughters lexicon. She's 16 and quiet a few of the kids of her age are similar. She gets the " talk properly or don't talk at all" when she goes too Hackney!! I don't have a problem per say but she's from watford for crying out loud!!
Can't quite place which Caribbean island that boy grew up (figuratively speaking) in to have that accent.
It isn't an accent at all, it is more of an impression. An impression of what pricks like him, think West Indian people sound like. My partner's eldest son suffers from this affliction, he is from the mean streets of Hampton. When he is on the phone trying to ponce a day off or con money out of a relative, he sounds like Nigel Havers but when he is ordering a takeaway or chatting to a friend, your ears are in for a real treat.
"Yeah boss, yeah boss, me want a pizza" "What you saying G, say nuttin G, say nuttin"

But isn't it a good thing when children grow up speaking different languages?
