Jeremy Hardy - RIP

If Jeremy Hardy wasn't being compared to a bunch of tyrants, you'd agree that lybertyne's post was in poor form then?
|
|
By:
Yes, absolutely.

By:
Fair enough.
Fwiw, I think all political leaders are fair game for abuse, recently deceased or otherwise. I shan't be grieving Blair, for example, even though I voted for the prick at every opportunity! |

 . https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/dec/31/secondworldwar.ireland President sent sympathy on Hitler's death Douglas Hyde, Ireland's president during the second world war, offered condolences to Germany's representative in Dublin over the death of Adolf Hitler, newly declassified records show. Until now it was believed that Ireland's prime minister, Eamon de Valera, was the only leader to convey official condolences, a gesture criticised worldwide. But the presidential record for 1938-1957, made public this week, sheds new light on one of the most embarrassing chapters in Irish history - its decision to maintain cordial relations with the Nazis even after news of the Holocaust emerged. |

Wiki :
Condolences on Hitler's death Ireland maintained a public stance of neutrality to the end by refusing to close the German and Japanese Legations, and the Taoiseach Éamon de Valera signed the book of condolence on Adolf Hitler's death on 2 May 1945, and personally visited Ambassador Hempel, following the usual protocol on the death of a Head of State of a state with a legation in Ireland. President Douglas Hyde visited Hempel separately on 3 May.[45] The visits caused a storm of protest in the United States.[46] Irish envoys in other nations did likewise, but no other Western European democracies followed Ireland's example.[47] |

You did rather put Thatcher in the same barrow as those people who killed millions, pointless wriggling about now. I hated her, but wtf?

By:
It is rather asking for trouble putting up an rip thread on anyone with political leanings, let’s face it.
What exactly is the point of such a thread anyway? How much sadness does the thread author feel? Yes, it’s a shame some bloke has died. Cancer is a **stard. I hardly remember him but he did get an obit in the times. Seems like he was another not particularly funny comedian. Fair play to him though I won’t get in the times. |

By:
I expect he would have got almost exactly twice as many mentions had he died before he alienated half his audience, like nearly every other comedian on the MSM has done.
