   You’d think that, being local and all, they’d have got their facts right.
   More of a light squall I would have thought.

   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.

   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!

    And here was I, hoping to offer you commiserations and sympathy on a thoroughly deserved loss tonight.
    Oh pish. Piff, paff and ptui indeed.
    Life, like democracy, is so unfair.

    Chin up Bob.
    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?

    I read the comments while in Canada….thought that it was just a little too close to the knuckle! I am glad that you have decided to remove the image!But glad to see that you have managed to recover and beat Tom for a headline on a blog!

    I think I’m going to have to post some satirical photoshops. Seems to get the business done, after all.
