Earliest Joke

The earliest joke I can remember is when I asked my mother "Why do fascists wear black shirts?" and she said "because they never wash their filthy necks."

And she added "now go and wash yours you little tyke or you'll create a bad impression."

My mother was always worried about making a bad impression. She was a dentist. That is probably why we were always trying to cap each other.

Debate on BBC TV shows parties playing the race card.

At the BBC debate in Reading all of the parties were happy to agree with a crank who thought traffic jams and pollution were caused by immigrants. They made the man from UKIP (BNP lite) look mild by comparison.

The Greens' Caroline Lucas came across as sanest of a loony bunch.

No socialists allowed of course.

(The picture shows Dave Hill, Socialist candidate, drawing attention to the deficit and the culpability of the bankers for the cuts)

Racists on Question Time

From the TES discussion board:

"Surely Neil Lewington, who turned his bedroom into a bomb-making factory, and has been convicted of terrorism and explosive charges would be a far better representative of racism. Why has he been locked up and not invited on question time? I think we should be told."

The same poster also made the point that if you think racists should be allowed to air their views (they have a point of view after all) then would you say the same about paedophiles (they have a point of view after all)?
