I guess that is where I depart from the 'political animal'. I'll call out bigotry wherever I see it. I won’t use selective perception such as that seen on this and other threads, where behaviours such as that of Jared O' Mara are excused for reasons of political affiliation or where the behaviour of the unions in the 70s and 80s or the reality of the performance of nationalised industries are painted over with red paint.

Clearly, this was just an off the cuff whimsy that simply attempted to bring some much needed humour to a hugely over blown situation. It was spontaneous, and whilst possibly just a little bit near the knuckle, he was under pressure and, after all, the comment was made when he was just a playful young pup a good 20-21 hours ago.
