And now you celebrate the death of an old man who was a great friend to this country during a time of war who also saved his country from Marxism.
What next , laughing at cancer sufferers?
If it's any consolation, Bob, they got Adam Boulton to blog it and now half of his readers ar discussing whether its time to bring back the Black & White Minstrel Show!
Oh dear. Never underestimate the power of the British public for putting things in perspective.

So, so funny Bob.
You're a class act. We're all really proud of you.
How will you fund all your foriegn trips when you're sacked?
Come on kid you and I know that you haven't had a racist thought in your (long long) life. You did make a serious error of judgement but it was a genuine attempt to highlight the total hypocracy of Cameron and his middle class sycophants who think the way to get elected is to patronise the working class until you get into power and then shaft them BIG TIME just like Thatcher and her pinochet/dictatorship loving party has always done.
There has been a generally good debate on your site about the issues and your willingness to admit the mistake is admirable.
By the way it might help that my blog is back so all those educationally challenged individuals who have pursued their usual hackneyed politically blind (sorry - visually impaired)criticisms can go back to wasting their time throwing abuse at me instead.

It's interesting that this bit of banter got into the Birmingham Evening mail yet a genuine grievance against Birmingham Social Services not stumping up the funds for a severely disabled woman with dementia to go into residential care never got a look in!

Great stuff from the local paper for local people.
Where do folk get the idea - the very idea - that Pinochet was a friend of anybody but himself?
I would be proud to number that type of shallow prick as no friend of mine.
And, if they're having a pop, you're on the right track.
It's a funny thing democracy - isn't it?
