It's fake by the way. No such job advertised.
And Leeds doesn't have boroughs, just wards

When the world came apart, where were you?
Not a very funny fake. In fact quite disappointing really. Should ask for a refund.
ETA: the piss-poor grammatical errors did make me wonder. But then I assumed the advert appeared in the Yorkshire Post so it didn't overly surprise me.

Don't you roll your eyes at me inferring bigotry from comments like that. I should be rolling my eyes at you

I think you're a bit of a nutjob inferring bigotry from my comments. However, CS has asked you to explain yourself and I tend to think that you should.

Yes, the YP doesn't have a rep for typos like the Guardian, so there is only one thing to infer from a comment like that.What because he had a poke at the Yorkshire Post?
It's no big deal, we all make bigoted comments from time to time, but playing all innocent when called out for it is not very clever.

It's poorer form to pretend you didn't know what you meant when you did

Every reasonable person knows that people from Leeds are an oppressed minority who are constantly persecuted by anti-Leeds bigots, surely, however little mention it gets in the London-centric metropolitan media.
I think it's very brave of OU to finally say enough is enough and that this bigotry should no longer go unchallenged. If only more posters on Urban had his courage and belief in justice, what a better place the world would be.

FFS, the Yorkshire Post is owned by Johnston Press, a company that's on on it's knees (currently valued at under half of what they paid to buy the 'i' newspaper a couple of years ago), known in the industry as the worst for cutting staff, in their race to the bottom when it comes to standards, their rags are known for being full of crap & errors.
Perhaps the YP is an exception to the rule, but there's no bigotry from a_chap, you're just trolling.

FFS it's no big deal. Just noting that he made a crass joke about Yorkshire people and pretended he didn't know what I meant when I said so. The joke was a minor offence, the dishonesty was the real kicker

"so there is only one thing to infer from a comment like that" is there? Only one thing??? Good grief. Sometimes I cannot work out whether you're paranoid, deluded or simply trying to be a troll.
Not that I give a shit what you think, OU, but I'll explain my comment mostly for the benefit of others as I suspect nothing will get through your cloth ears.
Earlier I'd said "the piss-poor grammatical errors did make me wonder. But then I assumed the advert appeared in the Yorkshire Post so it didn't overly surprise me."
I said this based on the time that I spent working for the Yorkshire Post and also the Yorkshire Evening Post; I've seen first hand their error-strewn copy. Also I once featured in an article in the Yorkshire Post which was so filled with factual errors that it was more fiction than fact. So, yes, I'm quite happy to refer to piss-poor grammar in the Yorkshire Post.
Me? A bigot? Do me a favour...
...and fuck off.

Fair enough. I apologise. People often make comments like that, implying that Yorkshire people are thick and ignorant. I used to work with some arseholes who would do it all the time, and that's what I took from your comment.

He didn't make a crass joke about Yorkshire people.
It was about a rag, owned by JP, which I once had the misfortune to work for*, as it would appear a_chap did also.
* ETA: JP group, not the YP in my case.

Take that chip off your shoulder, you whiny Leeds wanker.
If you don't want people to take the piss, don't throw groundless accusations of bigotry around.
