Did you say you were 55, or something like that? And you want me to teach you the niceties of decent behaviour.? Are you for real?
Is he addressing an individual or a section of society?

Do you need me to tell you to stop repeating yourself
 
I think you need to choose your words carefully, because sometimes a misunderstanding can lead to inappropriate and unintended consequences.
Reconsider your wording: idle = layabout, lazy good-for-nothing. whereas idol = someone to be, or is admired.
According to your comment, John insulted (I assume in jest and friendly banter) an individual. I have already explained the difference between insulting one individual and insulting a whole section of society.

I think it's wrong to insult anybody for the way they look if it be an individual or a race...
People your side of the fence who make excuses for the likes of John Bishop are the problem.

Have joke but don't insult somone about their personal appearance..

I don't think you have understood my comment:
Was he addressing an individual, or a whole section of society?
Answer: He was addressing an individual. Nothing racist about that.
Whether you consider it is OK, or not, to insult an individual on their appearance is completely separate and irrelevant to this discussion. You have wandered off-topic.

Who was? John Bishop?
I said it wasn't racist. I never mentioned whether it was acceptable or not.
You introduced that notion completely out of the blue, and off-topic.
 
What about Peter Barlow?
Classic case of whataboutery?

Classic case of whataboutery that doesn't work?
 
You appear to have descended into notch's and transam's tactics: of reducing the discussion to a series of nonsensical comments.
Shame really.
 
One can address an individual, one can abuse an individual, and as long as you are not resorting to typically racist comments in order to do so, it is not racist.
Make up your mind will ya!! EFL and I were called racist by you without saying any racist comments whatsoever. You're rather inconsistent.

No you saying I'm taking something off topic..... Topics expand and what I'm saying is not a million miles off

Sure they do, but they tend to remain relevant to the discussion. Why did you introduce the point about whether insulting individuals is acceptable or not? It was irrelevant. We were discussing whether John Bishop's comments were racist or not. Neither of us, nor had anyone else, mentioned it up to that point.

Then your comments appeared to become more and more bizarre:

I have never suggested or implied that it is acceptable for people to insult others because of their appearance.
Why did you imply that I had?
