There were numerous replies, I assume not in jest, recommending euthanasia as the solution. Addressing a transgender woman as a he can result in a visit from the police, but apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to suggest that old people should kill themselves. Interesting.<br /><br />As to Laura Marcus It’s probably a stretch too far to expect a Corbynista to have a sense of humour.<br /><br />But the real crime here is not knowing who Paul Kossoff was!Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-86713278777537999132019-04-28T02:08:28.108+01:002019-04-28T02:08:28.108+01:00What if your name was really Tommy Robinson?

Shame he let drugs take him over. The BBC I recall broadcast him being interviewed out of his head on something. Another BBC connection - he was the son of David Kossoff who used to read Old Testament Bible stories on BBC TV. I think DK was a Rabbi. <br /><br />As for Ms Marcus, it's great to see them hoisted by their own pettiness.
