Jack, the point is that you have to know what came before or after and as things stand we only have the selected quote available.

If we took your post and removed:

"So if Tommy Teirnan satirising modern takes on taboo subjects is OK let's try it the other way round, with the Irish Potato famine as the subject:"

and also removed:


"That's absolutely fucking hilarious. Not. If the only way he can 'satirise' PC attitudes is by spouting this sort of shite then he's a crap comedian too."


Then it would appear that you were saying unacceptable things about the Irish.


But with those lines before and after it is obvious that you are making a different point and that you are not expressing ANY opinion about the Irish.



I don't know what TT's point was if he had any because I don't know if there was anythng before or after, much less what might have come before or after.


If I knew that I would have a better idea of what he was saying.
