I'm defending the right to make a joke about another person's sartorial choices without it becoming a national scandal because some idiot thinks it is okay to mock anyone else but not him

@LenHazell53 the trouble with your anologue meme is the nun and beefeater are not going to be attacked by racist twats there has been a noticeable up tick in assaults on muslim women since his "joke" something he would have known was the most likely outcome hes playing to the lowest common denominator

@weeman As I have said that joke has been around for over fifty years (I can name Ken Dodd, terry Thomas, Chubby Brown, Bernard manning as having told it off the top of my head ), if some twat is going to attack a woman they don't need an excuse, and punishing some one for telling a joke, blaming the violence of a total stranger on the words of some one unrelated is a very bad precedent, you blame the perpetrator of the crime, did you blame the Beatles for the Manson Family because that fuckwit thought HelterSkelter was aimed at him personally?
We need to get over this "some people are sacred and untouchable" mentality and hold organisations and individuals responsible for their own hypocritical actions.

@weeman By the way it is not a beefeater, or even a Yeoman, it is a Chelsea Pensioner, who famously revel in the fact their uniform looks like a Pillar box.

true

Boris is the silliest man I know in politics which he probably won't be in much longer - He thinks he's funny - if you listened to some of the facebook responses from women who wear burkhas you would get it. And they have a right just as much as the National Front lads who wear woolen black ribbed face masks with eyeholes so what would they be like ? Keyholes?

@jacpod You did understand that the article Boris wrote was defending the right to wear what ever a woman like to wear and saying that the Denmark ban on the burqa was illegal and prejudicial, (funny how that bit does not get mentioned much) and that if someone wants to wear something silly that is their right.
The letterbox joke has been around for years, my best friend at school's mother used to use it, but then Mrs. Al Bharani was never one to be a killjoy.
