Sometimes the Daily Mail makes it too easy.

Hands up who can see the beautifully realised piece if irony in this latest Daily Mail attack on the BBC:

ummmm

I don't find 'Paddy' offensive and I don't know anyone who does.

/// AOG - what swear words are you happy with children using? ///

This is the second time you have asked this and the second time I have answered it.

What is your fixation with children in this debate, no one has mentioned them only you?

Because you're being a hypocrite.

"Wasn't the word used to describe someone coming from Niger?"

Are you being serious?

Incidentally I don't condone the use of swear words, whether or not they are proper swear words or words that have been described as swear words simply because they offend certain minorities.

You're equivocating.

If a word is offensive, it's offensive.

If I referred to you, using an English colloquialism for the female part, what is the difference in the offence that a black man feels being called a n****r?

Also, do you see the irony in the Daily Mail story?

Why is it attacking the BBC for something it does itself?
