A Jewish boy says to his father "dad, can I have 50p?" his dad says "10p what do you want 2p for?"
It's a funny tale and would be equally funny if we applied it to a Yorkshire Man or any other group who are thought of as being careful with money. But WHY is it funny? It's because it's based on stereotypes.
But as they read it you can just see Pat Barry and co turning their lips up in anger and hatred because in their eyes it's a downright racist joke that shouldn't be tolerated in society. They'd love to proscribe laws to prevent it and lock up those who not only say it but think it. Don't dare look at anyone the wrong way because it might be misconstrued.
That's why I like Farage. Speaks his mind. Says what he thinks.
I see the same vociferous posters are still spewing out their increasingly aggressive opinions as FACTS , which no-one must dare to disagree with. Might be quite entertaining (I use the term very loosely) to look back at some point to see just how wrong they may have been. Bet it goes very quiet then - thank goodness .
Even I don't know who The Grump is.
I. Bickerstaff
Bold capitals, really???
Your no better.
Bullying tactics grump.
"it's the way I tell em." Or don't tell them. His dad was knocking him down from 50p to 2p.The stereotype is that Jewish people like to do a deal or are very savy with money.
Never mind here's a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qlBsMoqccw
