Albert Kelly has called a woman a slut and a whore purely based on the fact she’s a woman. He’s then threatened to assault her. If the club do nothing, they are saying this behaviour is acceptable.
Only just noticed on second viewing that a Police officer walks past at the end of the video, surely if the staff felt so threatened theyd have shouted him over, instead of just videoing for social media?
He’s used abusive language that is driven by the fact it’s a female who is serving him. The words ‘slut’ and ‘whore’ are most definately terms of sexist abuse. He’s also threaten to assault her, which isn’t sexist. There’s a difference between behaving like a tool and subjecting someone to sexist and derogatory abuse. His behaviour falls into the latter category in my view. As to whether it’s a crime, I think that’s debatable too. Legally, assault is deemed to be when “a person performs an act by which they intentionally or recklessly causes another person to apprehend immediate unlawful violence”. I could easily argue that he assaulted her by saying he would “put her on the concrete”. It’s also a criminal offence to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words within the hearing of someone likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress by them.” Again, I could argue that this is the case here. So.... crime of the century? No. Potentially illegal? Yes.

Ignoring that fact that you don’t know what was said/done before the video clip, of course.

Do nothing or sack him, they are two very different things?
[quote="Mrs Barista"]Try again. I said he was an idiot and there should be consequences. Separately you said our fans as a collective were fickle for defending him. I said if they were defending him that made them loyal not fickle. /quote]
You never you said ..Surely we are the most faithful we loved him before and are sort of defending him now “
Therefore you condone what he did cockle . Verbally abusing a young girl .

No point us sacking him as I don't think you have the cap space
