He was English, what was the reason for the "satire"?
It's easy to be racist then play it off as a joke or satire. Pathetic.
If I post somthing offensive about another member, can I get away with describing it as "satire"?
You probably could, corby.
Exsactly Corby... It's a rediculous attempt at side stepping the real issue.

And OK.. the Scots is satire.. what about these:

What other controversial things has Boris said?
On Hillary Clinton in 2007
"She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital."

On Tony Blair visiting Africa in 2010
"What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England.

"It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies."

On the EU in 2016
"Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods."

On UKIP in 2004
"I can hardly condemn UKIP as a bunch of boss-eyed, foam-flecked euro hysterics, when I have been sometimes not far short of boss-eyed, foam-flecked hysteria myself."

On voting for the Conservative party in 2005
"Voting Tory will cause your wife to have bigger breasts and increase your chances of owning a BMW M3."

On Papua New Guinea and leadership elections in 2006
"For ten years we in the Tory Party have become used to Papua New Guinea-style orgies of cannibalism and chief-killing.”

On President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey in 2016
“There was a young fellow from Ankara,

"Who was a terrific w**kerer.

“Till he sowed his wild oats,

"With the help of a goat,

"But he didn’t even stop to thankera.

On Vladimir Putin in 2015
"Despite looking a bit like Dobby the House Elf, he is a ruthless and manipulative tyrant,"

On Donald Trump in 2016
"I would invite him to come and see the whole of London … except that I wouldn't want to expose Londoners to any risk of meeting Donald Trump.

"The only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump."

But while Bojo always seems to be saying something silly, he told reporters at the launch of his bid to become Tory leader and Prime Minister, that he would not be "muffled" and "will continue to speak directly" when leading the country.

Satire yeah?
Spath. You do know that 1984 was meant to be a warning, not a lifestyle guide, don't you?
SPICERACK, I doubt that very much.
Are we referring to Orwell?
Corbyloon, As I pointed out previously, the Spectator has for decades run a light - hearted competition with prizes over which my friend, James Michie (pseudonym. Jaspistos) set the competition and judged the winners each week, (as well as proof-reading the whole journal) Since James died it has been run by Lucy Vickery.

Reaching for a back issue I quote you a typical one ; ' You are invited to submit a disgustingly flattering poem in heroic couplets in praise of a person in power'. But it could easily have been something which produced that satirical list, and now quoted completely out of context.

I think the winner of the one above may have been v_e with;

Not Even Charlemagne, when at his height
could match your grandeur, majesty and might.
The Holy Roman Empire sought in vain
The splendour and extent of your domain.
From Padua to Plonsk and Pontypool
Eight hundred million souls enjoy your rule.



It continues, and he won £25 for his effort
No, I was thinking more about Frankie Goes To Hollywood and the fashion scene.
Spath: They all seem pretty funny to me.
"Spath: They all seem pretty funny to me."

"It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies."

I personally do not find that funny. I suspect the queen doesn't, either.
Don't tell us, it's waaaaaycist !
It's not racist as long as it rhymes, is that how it works?
Apparently.


If i came out and said that i’d be suspended.
// I think it was because he was being pestered by the IRS. //

altho there are double tax treaties for americans and brits,
BoJo sold his english home-residence and pocketed the moolah. This was without capital gains tax under english revenue law and he was unpleasantly surprised(*) to get a tax demand under american rules as those authorities claim the right to tax property of american wherever they are ...

(*) when he was on the rise - he came upon a most unpleasant surprise - -
mix of wm topaz magonagall and lines on the death of William III following a fall off his horse
// It's not racist as long as it rhymes, is that how it works?//

er my brudda as a paed, gave his farewell speech in Pidgin - he was in Vanuatu, where the Prince of Wales is referred to a "cheef piccanin bilong Mrs Kwin" and perhaps he was thinking of that .... I have to admit one did not mention the other
blimey there are some quite literary turns on this thread
poesy I might even term it
