I must admit,one of the jokes in that Guardian article was funny.
In the Embassy one night, at the height of the Falklands conflict, he  
announced: "We've got a couple of lads in here tonight. They fought at Goose  
Green." There was cheering, stamping and applause, until Manning added: "They're  
Argentinians."
Yes,everyone is entitled to their opinions,I mean,at least he wasn't out  
there kicking fuck out of these people,I still think some of the things he said  
were just plain wrong though.It's from people like him racial stereotypes  are 
born,and stereotyping is bad news man

IMHO he was a very  funny comedian who didn’t give a shit about what anyone 
thought about him. He  was entitled to his own opinion whether you agree with 
it or not and entitled  to say it. If you take away that right just to be 
politically correct I’m not  sure where we would be. Probably with us smokers 
outside without any fair  debate. I would have thought that Jokers would not 
condemn so quickly. Hey,  but I’m wrong again about jokers. Not willing to live and 
let live, so go on  flame me, but it’s not what I thought the joke was about. 
I liked the guy. I  may not have agreed with his opinions but he had the right 
to have opinions  that were different to mine. But finally, so say it’s good 
news that anyone is  dead is just sick!



 
 
Oppression and restriction,regulation rule and law,
Seizure of  this power is all your revolutions  for!
