    It was a joke you !!!!!!. LOL

    Obviously your strong retort proves your joking nature.

    I can't remember the last time I thought saying someone had a BNP poster in their window was funny????

    Perhaps if Nelson Mandela did, that would be funny. But in the case of this woman it hardly a joke.

    Perhaps your next joke may be better....... but I doubt it.

    I am not angry, nor have I had a go at any one?

    I am chilled, just came on today for a bit after a bit of a break. It is very spikey on here at the moment though.:D

    I'm starting to get fed up with a lot of this "must eat/drink healthy stuff" bandwagon. At the end of the day, if you don't enjoy it, as well as its benefits, what is the point.

    Regarding the anger, I haven't read the thread. FWIW I don't see the point. I mean, how shallow are we if a geezer vents in private but is caught out, & it is the thing we are most interested in talking about. 6 pages in a couple iof hours? Jeez, how shallow are we as people? I mean really? How shallow are we? Is this the most important thing? Is this something which will affect your voting pattern? That a geezer had a torrid time in a Q&A session & vented after it?

    I've got more important things at the forefront. I assume some of us have too.

    That said, I'm still real inquisitive about the joke...;)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    TBF mate for most on here it will not really be that much of an issue. But I dare say in labour core areas and the 60+ age group it is fairly major (in terms of how they view there vote going).

    But having said that I do think the best political faux pas is the Irish one where a guy is in session and tells someone to F' off.:)

    See what you say Really2. But the length of the thread & some of the comments are a bit Jeremy Kyle-ish. Kinda makes us all look bad, when we're not.

    Surely there are more important/relevant issues to talk about?

    Also, Prescott tonked a geezer on the nose, & I'm sure his ratings/popularity went upwards!

    With rights come responsibilities. This report damages our democracy and should have been saved for another day.
