[thread] I used a comedian recently about where the threshold was in a joke that went too far

I will introduce you to that at the end of a picture round of questions

What would you find it *unacceptable* for a politician to beg/mis-use money for?

At what point do you *CARE"
1. Essential foods?
2. Essential toiletries

trusselltrust.org/get-help/emerg…
3. "liver and bacon"
4. Red wine
5. A new bicycle
6. A new car
7. A holiday get away
8. All the add ons that come with the holiday get away

A private jet
9. A charter boat
10. A nanny
11. To redecorate
12. Some "home tuition"
So I have stopped at 12

If you aren't concerned at the ethics of a PM

When in the fuck will you be?

M. Thatcher 1963

"The Prime Minister is a man of the highest integrity and honour and should not, therefore, suffer for someone whose standards were not as high as his own.”
"The Office of National Statistics has released its provisional update of the UK Average Salary 2019, showing that the average full-time salary is Β£36,611 and average part-time salary is Β£12,495."

So to those of you who manage to survive on a salary or income less than Boris Johnson

I commend you

You have not had to beg or misuse public funds to live in this country
Here is Liz Truss demonstrating

A decade of Tory rule

And what was it

Oh yes "a country that works for everyone"

Here is a thread on that comedian & Boris with his words on "let it rip" & "let the bodies piled high"

I have chosen to juxtapose it with a report from June 2020 from "Conservative" MPs & ministers who wanted to EXPLOIT coronavirus to hide brexit in

I would actually say

The most important thing

Is not to imagine

But to remember

To imagine

Means first you must remember

So join me on a journey of imagination, remembering, anger, fear and inspiration

So first we start on imagination

So

Over 150,000 dead

How do you imagine those numbers?

Of course for each of those 150,000

Leaves behind family and friends

Each of who will be grieving

Just imagine in the midst of pandemic with tens of thousands dead and yet more tens of thousands who are going to die. A comedian joked about letting the bodies piled high

Joking

It wasn't a comedian

It was the Prime Minister
I want to introduce you to a comedy clip of Jimmy Carr

Where he tries to determine where people find a joke too offensive

It has gone too far

Oh and here's an article from a historian about bodies piled high

Johnny Mercer
"Is that we have specific commitments to our veterans for the first time in the manifesto"

I would quibble with this

See

Promises made prior to the 2010 election

And

Promises made in the 2010 manifesto
So first off for the manifesto

Does a country have the democractic right to choose to have a referendum?

Yes or No

It's a simple question.

I transcribed Douglas' interview below
If you have answered No.

Why?

To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
