Panto_Villan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 could I change it to mildly disappointed? Mildly disappointed...with a Bowie knife! I'm doing it wrong, aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Alan Duncan at No 256 he'll know about this list, and he'll be gutted Literally, I hope, with a Bowie knife.

Richard Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Alan Duncan at No 256 he'll know about this list, and he'll be gutted Literally, I hope, with a Bowie knife. Well done, post of the year. A real sickener for the rest of us who can only gape in awe at the scintillating wit of these snappy one liners. Not sure I can agree with post of the year because the competition is so stiff. They are all of the same quality. This comes back to something I said last week actually. For me the vitriolic hatred that laces political comments is more prevalent in those of a left wing nature in my experience. Not being specific to this thread or this forum, but in general. And I'm not entirely sure why, it is interesting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Does anyone really have to explain the bowie knife comment wasn't entirely serious? I thought it was just a not very funny post but obviously not serious, until VillaAjax posted this to clarify: ... I was thinking 'Iain Duncan' but I stand by my statement. Not that I care, it's a just a pretty stupid thing to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So, the government's Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission warned the target of ending child poverty by 2020 would "in all likelihood be missed by a considerable margin". Many people are being paid below a living wage, and social divisions are growing. And in other good news, with winter just around the corner, British Gas has raised it's energy prices by 9.2%. It will be a long cold winter for the poor. If that isn't more concerning than a tongue in cheek Internet comment about a government minister, you have issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not entirely sure why, it is interesting though. I think you're completely right. I tried to make a similar point earlier. I don't understand how people who claim to be so such bastions or tolerance and compassion can rationalise their abusive posts. Well I don't think they can really and as you allude to, their comments betray their hatred and intolerance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
