Taking offence

Douglas Murray writes eloquently about the legal empowerment of humourless arseholes in the Spectator.

It seems some shit-head of an Ireland-born Unison rep reported a fellow Medway councillor to the police and received thousands of pounds of compensation because he claimed to be offended by the following joke:

A man walked into a Dublin bar and saw a friend sitting with an empty glass. “Paddy, can I get you another?” he asked, to which Paddy replied - “now what would I be wanting with another empty glass?”

OK. From now on I am going to be legally offended by any lefty who makes disparaging remarks about:

• Conservatives
• Americans
• Israelis
• Margaret Thatcher
• George Bush
• Capitalism
• Bankers
• Consumerism
• etc.

And I am going to be legally offended by any lefty who fails to condemn:

• Lenin
• Stalin
• Mao-tse-Tung
• Pol Pot
• Castro
• Guevara
• IRA terrorism
• Palestinian terrorism
• The Taleban
• The Iranian regime
• etc. 

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
