P: Your wife got mired in a political correctness storm as well about telling a joke.
NW: Yes at a rugby club. Well if you can’t tell what I describe as amusing in some people’s minds, in others not, risqué jokes at a rugby club, where can you tell such jokes.
P: Were you thinking what’s it come to when a member of parliament can’t tell a joke about Pakistanis at a rugby club?
NW: Well I mean I bet they tell jokes about honkies and others … you know … about us. I don’t object to jokes at my expense and I don’t think people that come here should worry about jokes at their expense. It was said with no malice. I wasn’t there by the way but it was said with no malice and the rugby club itself was thoroughly embarrassed by the whole sad saga.

There were these two bored looking Labour MPs walking down a street.
One said to the other, “What shall we do next ?” The other said, “We can’t do nothing at all man!.” The first one asked “Why ever not ?”, and the second one said, “Well, whatever we want to do, we’ve banned it, criminalised it, restricted it, and censored it all remember!” “Oh dear, said the second. Better get back to the HOC, where them rules don’t apply, pretty quickly then!”
Well done to you, Tom, on the DEB – at least you tried! Tip of the hat to you.
Hi Tom,
I would be interested to hear your take on this…..
