    Has effigy burning of real persons been culturally normalised? That's a serious question, not trolling.
    Don't hold your breath waiting for a serious answer. If you get an answer at all it won't be until long after the easily-offended squad have finished mopping apoplectic spittle from their monitors, and will likely be some trite codswallop.

        One's "right on", the other's hated by the "right on's".

          The difference is that the hair-trigger sensibilities of the snowflake lefties are not quite so susceptible to being ruffled when the "victim" is perceived as being white upper class Tory.

          It seems to be open season where that particular minority are concerned.

          The root cause is often described as being due to an overdeveloped inferiority complex. However, more often than not it is not a complex.
          They are just inferior.

              Given I don't think it ethical to shoot at images of real people, have a guess what I think of the ethics of burning an effigy of a living person? Whether the image is of a left wing, right wing or centrist, it makes no difference.

                If Jeremy comes on and complains, should we apologise, delete the thread and lock it?

                  Ah, you're getting a bit upset about this "don't upset the snowflakes" tulip, aren't you?

                  Man the **** up and stop being such a ******* snowflake!

                      Why would I have a problem with the Khan blimp?
