Try listening to Australians being interviewed if you want to hear that a lot!

To a degree isn`t that the point? I saw Frankie Boyle last year and found him extremely funny. I left my sense of delicacy at the front door because I knew what to expect. I personally like "clever" comedy, with plays on words/language (Milton Jones, Stewart Francis etc) but I can sometimes find "offensive" funny as well. As I said on an earlier post, it is comedy/humour, NOT serious racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever -ist or -ic comment you wish to name.

I wonder how many times we will see "TCWTB" this afternoon??

Where do you draw the line though? Women are "different" to men. Should men not tell jokes about women and vice-versa? Is it wrong to tell jokes about, for example, Portsmouth fans, Essex girls, Jedward etc? Virtually every joke is at someones expense. Surely it depend on your definition of "offensive". I don`t find any particular problems with Irish, Scots, Welsh, French or Australian type jokes, and am not offended when people tell jokes about the English. This is humour for goodness sake. Providing that there is no "nastiness" in the joke, what is the problem

I have this. Excellent. Always thought of him as the architypal troubled genius, but he certainly was very influential. I love anything by Emmylou Harris but especially "Pieces of the Sky" and "Wrecking Ball" and have most of her albums.

The type of person that is generally liable to vote BNP won`t do research. They will base what they will do on their daily experiences and what they read. I`m afraid that they won`t be influenced by having to look for figures etc.

This was an absolute farce. If it had been a normal QT with the opportunity for NG to actually debate issues, then he would have been shown up for the one-trick pony that he is. Sadly it was a modern version of "bear-baiting" with every question aimed at the BNP.

Why is it irrational?? If it is something that you feel stongly about and the major parties seem, on the face of it, to be doing nothing about it, then surely you will go with the party that makes your concerns a priority. It may be, in the cicumstances, undesirable, but not irrational. Isn`t freedom of choice what democracy is supposed to be about??

Do you not think that a noticeable increase in support for parties such as the BNP might send a message to the mainstream parties?

I miss "The Thoughts of Chairman Pete".

Politics and Religion!:mad: With both of these it`s a case of "If you don`t agree with what I think, then you are wrong!" Cynical? Me? Never!
