Today the Olympic torch, or one of the thousands of the bloody things, passes through our manor. Sadly, I have had to pass up the opportunity for a VIP Pass and a VIP parking spot to witness the 30-second slot that Sandwell has been allocated for torchwatch…. I'm washing my hair!
The hippo is also less than impressed…
On the day that we were told that the Prince of Wales received an increase of 11.8 per cent in his benefits, a man with multiple medical problems, denied support from the state and judged by a bogus private company as being fit for work set fire to himself outside a Job Centre in Selly Oak in Birmingham, we welcome the Olympic torch.
“Set fire to himself” followed by “the Olympic torch” – there’s a joke in there somewhere but it’s in the worst possible taste and so you would not expect me to tell it – would you?
Dear Old Duffers cracking a joke, eh, typical of the distortions the old tosser serves up; the olympic torch part of the article opened it and then the comment about fhe unfortunate guy attempting to set fire to himself; as reported in all the national media, over being brought to the end of his tether over disputes about his benefits. Typical of Duffers and his ilk(even Cameron and Gideon Osbourne and their poodles Clegg and Alexander would do anything they could to prevent being associated with anything to be connected to this story, but their slash and burn policies inevitably lead to incidents like this) to make light of such situations, but if the old tosser ever made a joke about anything it would be a 1st.
Bob, that wasn’t the Olympic torch, it was someone trying to do the decent thing in Sandwell.
