Three women held as slaves in south London for 30 years!

Firstly I would not say I am upset, I just found it slightly distasteful. I would not make the same joke if they were found in Brighton. Yes I would not find it funny either if it was on the BBS. As I have said many times, I am an individual with my own opinions and thoughts as I am sure you are, for me it is not always about CPFC vs BHA, in fact the only time I really care is when we play each other or when someone says something that is a load of B&$()£"k's.
I have a very broad comedy range and find Jokes that others find distasteful funny, such as some racist(Including white jokes) and homophobic jokes. But then I do not find being a certain colour or being gay necessarily a bad thing so I do not see it as taking the pish out of a "victim" of something if you like.

Yup, I can see why some people would find it distasteful, but the butt of the joke is not the women found enslaved in London, but Palace. The women's tragic circumstances are just a simple hook around which to have a pop in jest at your club.

Then why the fvck are you always on here then?

If you don't care, piss off.

So what are saying, exactly?

I so hate it when you beat around the bush!

But you would not use other "victims" in such a way, that is all I am getting at

Just out of curiosity would you do the same with a concentration camp victim

Now they'd certainly feel at home at Selhurst. All those brieze blocks and barbed wire.

in my experience the best way for a woman to be held is upside down with a cornetto up her arse....

Shouldn't you be on a forum for serious, caring people?

My girlfriend has taken a rather avid interest in this story. She says she has "empathy" for them. I think that means when you can somehow place yourself mentally in another person's shoes and understand their experiences as if you're living it yourself. I told her I thought that was downright weird and she should think how lucky she is not to have ever experienced what they'd been through. She said "Yes, you're probably right" and trooped off to the bathroom. She can be very odd sometimes.
