Another ... where did the shuttle crew go on holiday ... i wont state that one here

The point is, humour has always been associated with death and tragedy, tasteless maybe, but still humour ... and it's really grim that people try and stop it now because it doesn't fit with their particular political agenda, because as others have said, if the jibe was free of politics, people would be laughing their heads off.
Do you know what peers are? What they do?...do you not feel that its distasteful for someone of his supposed standing to be engaging in such juvenile humour about elected officials?...
Can we not look past the alleged 'humour' in the tweet, that is not the issue. It's the disrespect.

I'm not doubting this tweet had some rolling on the floor laughing, I'm also not doubting black humour exists.

But lets see this for what it is, childish mocking from a guy who bought his way into the Lords towards the elected shadow cabinet ...he even manages to offend Catholics too well done 'lord' Sugar.
