I assume you mean that we should have spoken up when he started insulting Scousers, but we weren't scousers.
We also had a chance when he moved onto Mancs,
Likewise Norfolk, Newcastle and Stoke
Thinking about it that way, I agree. I only got upset when he started having a go at Stoke, and by then it was too late :(

Good analogy. Niemöller was quite happy to defend Hitler and his Party at first, and was perhaps hinting at that when he was suggesting no-one would speak out for him.
Just as in Clive's case, we can suggest that his treatment was over the top, but he's definitely not innocent.
That's what you meant, right?

Clive will be perfectly fine. He seen who his friends are, had kept his sense of humor and Hasa plan.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
As I've said before, his employers were spineless and he deserves to work for a better company.
