What has he retweeted to cause a stir?

Anybody know?

Not on twitter, retweeted what? do spill.

Umm, not sure what to make of it. He didn't say it, but it's a bit xenophobic if you ask me. Not sure why he'd retweet that too be honest.

Thing is, it's meant as an anti Europe quote but could easily be taken to mean something more sinister. It will inevitably be taken the wrong way..

I'll leave it to someone on a pc to post it, I'm on my phone so difficult to do.

The only thing I can see he's retweeted is something about Thatcher. However, a fan did ask him if he was staying at Torquay, and Manse said "depends, what've you heard?" Think he was joking though.

Care to expand?

He retweeted this:

One thing I will give Maggie Thatcher is she warned us about this going on if we started letting everyone in

Someone did ask;

@manse7 please tell me you are retweeting that because you can't believe someone could be that small-minded and xenophobic Lee

LM;

@willmh90 of course
@willmh90 I've seen a fair few if I'm honest I don't feel people should comment on what they don't know, it's easy to say things when angry

Just because you retweet something doesn't mean you agree with it. Indeed, quite often people retweet odious stuff that they're appalled by, just to show their followers what some people are spouting.

Just heard the news(british soldier hacked to death in London), now I fully understand Lee Mansell's tweet and fully agree with him, if these scumbags dont want to be here, send them back.

Send who to where?

All I could see was a joke about Odemwingie still being sat outside QPR... couldn't see much harm in that!

Not a Twitter fan, but I can't see the sense in retweeting something you don't agree with. Unless you add a comment, people are bound to see it as an endorsement.

PS Forevertufc, the b*stard that was filmed after he committed murder, would seem to have a south London accent. Suggests to me that he is British-born. Not really a discussion for here, but I'd say the solution to this vile societal ill is a little more complex than "send 'em back where they came from"

In the video of him he says "I apologise to women who witnessed this today, but in our lands our women have to see the same", referring that he's not from here.

Just seen the same footage and I must say, he sounds British to me, in that weird London accent that appears to be all the rage.

Pure scum.

It is indeed a bit more complex, however anyone not born in this country who hates life here, thinks the murder of an innocent man for wearing a t-shirt in support of our army is some how just, would be a good place to start.

Time for us to take control of our country back..see the politics thread. Think of me what you like right now couldn't careless..feeling right at the mo.

He also says "Bring our troops back". It's hard to read too much into language, Manchester United fans from Devon refer to Manchester United as "us". It can be a spiritual connection rather than physical.

"Send them back" is just a meaningless statement.

Not sure you do, as he has clearly stated that he doesn't agree with this sentiment.
