Don't let any of the ever-offended PC brigade know or they'll go and desecrate his headstone and his memory to make themselves feel better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Talking of which, the new moneysupermarket advert with action man - why isn't there a black or chinese one? Outraged! It' because it wasn't shot on the front line walshie...

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 If you take offence at a child's toy sitting on a window sill.............you should probably take a look at the direction your life's taken ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who is actually taking offence though? I get that some things haven't aged very well and they don't produce them that way anymore but I don't see who is actually offended. We seem to have this anonymous bloc of people that take offence but I haven't actually seen one. Crimestop? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One person was sufficiently outraged to make a complaint to police.......... .............who duly mobilised all necessary resources and investigated this heinous offence.

I can't help but feel there is a massive distraction event going on here, it's certainly working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Okay, so I've gone back and read the article in the OP. In court over one complaint. You're all really f*ck*d aren't you?! If you've read anything I've posted over the last 14 years you'll know that I'm pretty pro-equality and I'm not a huge fan of people being marginalised for the colour of their skin but this is batsh*t insane. My grandad has a ton of those metal badges all over his fishing hat and now he's committing a hate crime?! Good luck, Blighty. You're going to need it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
