As regards our American cousins, what is so unusual about what happened yesterday? They have chosen - through the ballot box - for the right to bear arms and as such they feel fit to use those weapons to kill hundreds of their fellow citizens each week. Sometimes those killings are of the multiple kind and we see a number of those each year, of which what happened in Arizona is only one example. That in this instance it involved a politician is irrelevant other than to my allusion to the Honourable Member for Blackburn. So where is my joke?

Don't come the old soldier Tealeaf.......I was not referring to your comment about Jack Straw(the man courted these people for their easy vote).



I was referring to your tasteless comment about a congresswoman who may never fully recover......because a mindless male (they seem to always be male don't they?)with a gun had not only taken a pop at the politician, but had also killed other innocent members of the public.......the joke...well I will quote what you wrote just to refresh your memory.....

Mind you, she did survive a bullet going straight through her head, although whether this was due to her being a) A Yank b) a woman c)a politician or d) a combination of all 3, thus having little up top, I don't know.

Those comments were offensive to Americans, Women, and particularly educated women.

The reference to the right of the american population to bear arms is irrelevant, you are just trying to justify your crass comments...but failing miserably.
There is one thing......you never disappoint me, you always have to come up with some cynical and smart alec comment. PBWY
