anyone find his joke 'offensive'?
Extremely sensible reply there Patch, we are too keen to be offended on behalf of others - political correctness gone mad - don't start me! headbangI'd be interested to hear what some of the 'ex forces' sparks say. I think they have a good sense of humour and I've heard similar jokes from them. Firemen award points out of 10 for imagination with fatal road accidents. It's a way of coping and in good humour. I don't think he means any harm IMO
Calm down Sandra - you always get like this on 'thong days'.There is a difference between banter among squaddies and morons like those unspeakable t**ts who took the P**s out of the young guy who lost both legs and an arm in Afganistan. Sorry but taking the p**s out peoples disabilities does not amuse me, these berks never grow up from the school yard. Pity the kid with glasses, red hair and sticky out ears. I know , lets find some holocaust survivors and take the **** out of them shall we, " Whats that on yer arm , Mate , a telephone number"
Going off on a slight tangent, Help for Heroes is a charity that does some excellent work with severely disabled ex-servicemen. I can in no way decry their methods & motives but this is a charity funded by the general public. Surely this should be totally govenrment backed or have the Labour party absolved themselves of their responsibilities?He had actually told that joke originally in a hospital not sure if it was Selly Oak and apparently all the injured Army guys laughed about it in the ward. I think JC was trying to get media attention for the situation in Afghanistan and now its all been twisted as usual!Can someone actually remind me of the benefits that our government sees in sending out our lads and lasses out to places like Helmand Province?
I think bringing them all back home now and maybe sorting out the scumbags that spoil our society in this country would be a much more worthwhile task.
I always think that "make sure your own house is in order, before trying to sort others!".
EEE, lad .. I'm that mad, I could crush a grape !!Calm down Sandra - you always get like this on 'thong days'. All humour takes the **** out of someone. Lets not spend our time getting offended on other people's behalf! You could have a similar rant if we wanted to be all PC and ban black cable for fear of causing offence...........
