Sturgeon resigns

[Xipe Totec]

Exactly, just humour me and tell me why it's so 'unacceptable' to refer to Sturgeon as Jimmy Cranky whereas the Tories are 'fair game'.

Is it ok to take the pi$$ out of someone's appearance or not?

I think it's alright but I'm a cu*t.

Hanging out with all us woke lefty bedwetters is definitely bringing out a level of self-awareness I bet you never knew you had.

 

[Salty seadog]

Well I think we know why she resigned now.

 

[matticus]

Well I think we know why she resigned now.

Those damn Krankies jokes. People can be so cruel

 

[AndyRM]

Why not, because your a sweaty?

That must be the closest resemblance to anyone going ever.

A sweaty... Top level bantz there.

Funny isn't it, how the English are happy to refer to Sweaties, Taffs and Mick's, but get all butthurt when people refer to gammons.

Gammon doesn't refer to a specific nationality, though, does it.

Gammon doesn't refer to a specific nationality, though, does it.

Well no, which is why it's not even an insulting term.

 

[BoldonLad]

Well no, which is why it's not even an insulting term.

In which case, why use it?

It describes a set of bigoted attitudes and a tendency to porcine flabby faces.

Remember when all the gammon were trying to claim 'gammon' was racist because it described skin colour? Idiots

 

[Ian H]

In which case, why use it?

I think Andy meant not ethnically insulting.

 

[AndyRM]

I think Andy meant not ethnically insulting.

Yep.

Really?! Thanks for the 'splain, I had no idea.

If you look really closely, you'll see it was a reply to Boldon.

 

[Rusty Nails]

Lampooning politicians, using, or even abusing their appearance, is not only generally acceptable but should be encouraged, to keep them in their place.
It has been carried out for hundreds of years and, if anything, has mellowed over that time.




But it should only happen to politicians that I dislike.

 

[AndyRM]

In which case, why use it?

I don't in general. It does make me laugh that it seemed to become a 'thing' around the time of the story about Cameron and his, uh, proclivities.

 

[AndyRM]

If you look really closely, you'll see it was a reply to Boldon.

Why not quote him then, to be clear? It's not like you don't know how to use the function.
