Stuart Hall...Its a lockup.

[AQMP]

Spot on nifan. Perhaps that's why these celebs, priests, etc have been getting away with it for years. Rather than face the problem and deal with these evil criminals, most would rather turn and pretend it didn't happen by cracking a poorly taste joke.

So let me get this straight. Making jokes today about events that happened decades ago allowed those events that happened decades to happen?

I've just received my invite to Kilcoo GAC's annual fundraiser "A Night At The Racists".

That is a mildy amusing quip about a serious issue.  However it has not changed my views on what happened last Sunday nor IMHO does it attempt to sweep it under the carpet.  Similarly the Frankie Boyle tweet about an X Factor contestant "Christopher Maloney looks like the uncle who gets arrested when a child goes missing" in my view, doesn't suggest Mr Maloney is a child kidnapper nor does it trivialise the serious issue of child abduction.  It's a joke??

No making jokes at the expense of children who were raped and abused is sick!

No, people are making jokes at the expense of Stuart Hall. Did you take the same amount of umbrage at every Michael Jackson joke that did the rounds?

I just hope no-one on this thread ever sees The Producers.

Grow up you p***k - It's a c**k out and hope he kept his joker in etc directly relate to this bastard abusing children.

As I said - don't ever watch The Producers.

Is this another version of the 'Belfast Crazed Bigot' perhaps?
Or someone is trying to pull my leg, some perverse reverse Nordie humour?

Is there another kind?

I've touted on you to Amazon.

[Billys Boots]

Thanks, I think.

Nordie                        "I've touted on you"
Southern Gentleman  "Thank you very much"

Wow, a gentleman and a criminal in the same day - I must be the Raffles of Larryland!

Bit much, did Stuart Hall touch you up?

Perfect analogy. And an impressive sidestep of Godwin's law to pull it off.
