[QUOTE="Ome, post: 10839, member: 2"] [B]Marc Anwar hits out at Coronation Street bosses for sacking him from the show[/B] Sacked Coronation Street star Marc Anwar has once again sparked controversy, this time hitting out at the show's bosses. Last weekend, the actor was dropped from the show over a series of racially offensive messages from his Twitter account, and has since apologised. However, he has now suggested that bosses had a "personal agenda" by booting him off in response to a fan who argued that his apology should have been enough. "Sorry is never enough for those that have personal agenda, I have no personal agenda. Peace," he wrote. He added of his original comments: "A week ago in anger, frustration, used language unacceptable apologised to my indian brothers and sisters, Atrocities still continue. Sad. "Those #Indians who feel I insulted them please tell me, or ask yourself your brothers and sisters dying, what would you do. It wasn't you." Greater Manchester Police confirmed it received a report of hate crime after the racist comments last Sunday (September 25). In his original rant, Marc, who was born in Pakistan, branded Indians "b*****ds" and "p**s-drinking c**ts". The remarks came days after 17 soldiers were killed at a Kashmir airbase, which caused fresh tensions between India and Pakistan. He later released a video apologising for his actions, and said he had lost his temper in a "moment of madness". [/QUOTE]
