GMB's Adil Ray goes off on Piers Morgan-style rant at ‘racist’ chicken shop branding
GOOD Morning Britain's Adil Ray kicked off today at "racist" chicken shop branding meant to stop knife crime.
Speaking to co-host Kate Garraway, Adil continued: "I thought it was a joke. It's incredibly demonising, we're in a society where we're supposed to be playing against this idea of stereotypes. "That's ridiculous if you are a black kid going to get chicken this weekend you are going to think, 'well hang on, is that me? Am I now involved in knife crime?'
"It's going to make you more angry and anti-establishment. I mean we know that there are beers that are called wife beater but do we put warnings in pubs, don't go home and beat up your wife? No, we wouldn't do that.
Many viewers agreed with Adil, with one tweeting: "Oh yeah putting a message on boxes of chicken is going to stop knife crime isn’t it. I can’t believe people get paid to come up with these ideas."And another added: "Us whities like a bit of crispy chicken to."Oh yeah putting a message on boxes of chicken is going to stop knife crime isn’t it. I can’t believe people get paid to come up with these ideas.
