    That’s as maybe, but what do you make of Zelig calling him a flid?

    Yes. It really isn’t the funniest meme. I don’t see you trying to insightfully dismantle other Tory related memes or funnies so why do you feel such an urge to do so with this one?
    My point stands.

    Seriously Andy? Making light of horrible situations is a release for many. If you don’t like it don’t read the thread- if you want to endlessly dissect irrelevant data or score points there are other places to do that, so fill your boots there.

    I didn’t feel any urge at all. In fact I commented on your post first and foremost because I found it puzzling. By all means post something funny and I’ll smile or laugh, regardless of the side you’re batting for. Post something I don’t find funny and I usually won’t comment. Nothing more to it. But your post did give birth to a genuine reflection on political humour, and what is really expected of HMMLO.

    On the contrary, I’m cheering you on, son.

    I’m delighted to see you giving the classic seventies vernacular such a comeback. You’re delivering the Brexit dividend!

    "Retarded" is a bit different to "hard of thinking". In fact it's a disgusting thing to call someone and use as an insult. And your defence of it is equally disgusting. It doesn't bother me that you called me names, I've been called far worse by much cleverer people, but the name you used is simply unacceptable in this day and age.
    Honestly it says more about you than it does about me. I'm obviously not "retarded" or I wouldn't be writing on this forum and living the life I do. Everyone knows that. You just wanted to insult me because I didn't accept your rather poor interpretation of the English language.

    Anyway, here's a link for you, I suggest you educate yourself about using certain language.

    OK - then your post was factually incorrect - & you didn't have the intelligence or motivation to check it...

    Good - then this thread is performing its original purpose ... enjoy the laughter.

    However, yet again you misinterpret the comment.

    I never said you were responsible - just that your peddling of lies has not helped the situation.

    It's a 'humour' thread. People post things they find funny. Others might not. I suggest you fact check all the other posts in the thread as well. Actually it wasn't that "you didn't have the intelligence or motivation to check it", I found it amusing and didn't give a toss. Rather the same as your comments and insults.

    Maybe so - I'm not claiming to be a linguist ... but I did learn a few definitions...

    lie
    noun
    an intentionally false statement.

    perpetuate
    verb
    to make (something) continue indefinitely.

    There’s a reason there are so few right wing comedians...

    And the Tory “humorous” memes posted above are just, well, extremely lame.

    If they were genuinely funny, I’d be laughing (regardless of where on the political spectrum they come from). But they aren’t. So I’m not.

    Wherever on the net they are coming from must be a place to behold.



    ETA - it’s probably Jim Davison’s blog, or some other humour-free page.

    Give us one of your sharp, incisive, side-splitting progressive gags, Banana. Show us dull witless bloody Tories how to raise the roof with acerbic left-wing hilarity. No anti-semite jokes though, please.

    Covid19 funnies

    The last 60 posts should (but won’t) make some people embarrassed at what they typed.

    I’ll post something to try to get the thing back on track. Probably a forlorn hope.

    To be clear using retard as an insult is no different from cripple, spastic, ‘flid’ etc. You defend it likes it’s ok to call anyone that, it’s not. Deflecting to try a defend it is pathetic.

    Just reading through this from the start of last night's jousting, and as it's a public area I recommend that posts #533 and #591 are edited.

    Fair enough, although I suspect this will end up in the BP anyway now.

    Is this the new Draft Thread? Or is it just a bunch of grown childish, men pettily bickering?
