Humourless righties

Too many to mention. But any in particular catch your eye?

This chap on the Guardian site (steamed up about the Midsomer Murders thing) is a good example of the species:

[quote from another poster]: I've got a good plot-line for Midsomer Murders, though. A black man arrives to take up residence in the village - after all it must be almost a 'ghost-village' by now, and they need a bit of new blood. Some of the remaining villagers however, decide that he doesn't fit in; so they bump him off. Barnaby and his sidekick have to decide who it was. The culprits are found and instead of being arrested, they are given a pat on the back for helping to preserve 'Englishness'

Typical bigotry from a supposed "progressive".

Nice example of "Look at me, I have a Latin name, I'm clever" as well.

Still, I bet he gets jokes about women not being able to do offside.

Midsomer is the quaint area of the country that all Mailites aspire to live in surely...... None of this Multicultralism, lots of gossip (about murders) and the odd Homosexual whose always in the closet because the Mailites don't want it rammed down their throat.

Wow! Talk about a potentially limitless topic.

Indeed.

Maybe we could keep it to people who pop up in comments, and keep the stuff like Philips's last "making a joke about cocaine!" stuff to the regular Philips thread.

We could fill this every day, but nice example (posted by MacGuffin on another thread):

Quote:

“Brussels” is not forcing Eric Pickles to fly an EU flag on a flagpole outside his office

Contrary to the Mail on Sunday story (25 June) repeated by the Daily Express on 26 June, Brussels has not “demanded” that the Department for Communities and Local Government flies the EU flag on one of its two flagpoles all year round. As was made very clear to the Mail on Sunday before it published the story, and as Mr Hahn wrote in a letter to Minister Eric Pickles, the proposal would “not require the EU flag to be flown on a flagpole in front of the premises…”.

The EC is proposing only that Member States’ managing authorities for EU regional funding display an EU flag in a place visible to the public – inside or outside the relevant building – as a symbol of partnership in investing EU structural funds, which aim primarily to create jobs. It is now up to Member States, including the UK, in the Council to decide whether to agree to that proposal. As Mr Hahn pointed out in the letter, no other national Minister has so far registered any objection. Most managing authorities already fly the EU flag alongside their national and sometimes regional ones.

As for the Mail on Sunday’s claim that Brussels has “offered to buy Britain a flagpole” this was a handwritten comment by Mr Hahn at the end of his personal letter to Mr Pickles, suggesting lightheartedly that Mr Hahn would fund a third flagpole from his own pocket if Mr Pickles wanted to fly the EU flag from it.

The Express did not seek comment from the Commission before repeating the Mail on Sunday story

Brilliant. Faceless Eurocrat makes joke. The Mail doesn't get it- or pretends not too, because of its agenda.

They'll use any stick to beat the EU.

Tubby Isaacs · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:29 pm

Indeed.

I think there's something particularly comical about their only available defence "we didn't lie, we're just thick or humourless".

We don't tend to call them "righties" though, do we?

"Right-wingers" maybe. Or cunts. Not "righties".

Tubby Isaacs · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:51 pm

I use the word to point up the irony of talking about "humourless lefties".

I'm not sure they'll manage to lift a whole flagpole though...

I thought the Patrick Mercer statement on Jimmy Carr was typically unintentionally humorous of the man: "this man's career deserves to end right now". Could almost hear the sound of a Sterling being cocked
