since when was the act of parody a hanging offence?

jeez, some people need reminding that there's no right to not be offended.

No I can't see a problem either. Apart from the Conservative Leadership obviously not having a sense of humour and being worried that the Nasty Party might be confused with the Nazi Party. That, and why a grown man should want to attend a fancy dress party.

Mind you, he deserves to be kicked out for this piece of appallingly awful rhetoric : [i]"I am a councillor who represents the people, politics is not my thing, serving the people is my game".[/i]

Shouldn't he be trying his luck in American politics..........or was that bollox suppose to be some sort of joke ?

the parody isn't wrong, the lack of understanding about how it may be viewed could be. but he's a harrogate posh boy so is unlikley to have much awareness of anything past the end of his driveway. the fact that his profile on facebook was public is a bit lame......

It's one of those things, the only thing he's actually done wrong is not think about the PR/press/public image bulls**t factor. Which arguably is part of his job as a politician these days but it'd be a better world if it wasn't.

Very naive on his part and I can see why the Tories leadership are unhappy about him doing it but it seems a bit of an over reaction TBH.

Since when was waving and impersonating Blakey from On the Buses deemed offensive?
