Being called a faggot. Hurled obloquies such as “fascist” and “fat git” are water off a duck’s back to those drenched in today’s ambience of tolerance. But refer to someone as something I used to eat with gravy every Wednesday and the equality Gestapo start launching probes.
Obviously I am going to have to brush up on my insults.
From here:
An Aberdeen councillor has been cleared of making homophobic comments towards the authoriity’s gay then-leader.
Jim Farquharson admitted calling John Stewart a “fascist” and a “fat git” but Mr Stewart claimed the term “faggot” had been used.
The incident happened after a heated council meeting in September last year.
A complaint was lodged with the Public Standards Commissioner for Scotland (PSCS). It has been ruled he was not in breach of his code of conduct.
Mr Farquharson categorically denied using the term at the time of the incident.
He told BBC Scotland: “I have never used such a word.”
However, he added that he stood by his fascist comment.
And all this time I thought the F word was a bundle of sticks, but after looking at whats is made from I think I’ll stick to the sticks with a bit of ‘Merican Catsup.
