An off the public school cuff remark
Meant “in jest”
at “Johnny foreigner” to him and the rest
led to her beating
led to her death
Pillar box red
Pillar box dead
He writing aloof in the Toffs Telegraph
High above us all
Trickled down to the street below
Pillar box red
Pillar box dead
It’s ok to hate
And now ridicule
And now persecute
Taking down the veil
For hatred to be revealed
To kill and maim
People different
Including, eventually you

what a tosser BJ is, never give him a letter to post.
great poem,

It's likely that most who take exception to the comments in question from BJ wouldn't read the Daily Telegraph and the
the context in which they were placed: a juxtaposition of lampooning a choice and endorsing free choice.
Contentious but hardly criminal - and with historical
precedent.

I reckon wealth trickles down Ferris - just not in the quantity that you'd prefer. But who's to say what the rate of trickle should be? And does everyone at the bottom deserve it regardless?
We all seem to be living on different planets these days.

How interesting - and ironic in this context - that the Oxford
English Dictionary tells us that the word burke means to avoid or stifle (inquiry, discussion, rumour etc.) - and also a
person who smothered victims!
