    I think it is in poor taste too. But then, at nearly 38, I am getting old and increasingly irrelevant to the trend setters of today.
    There is poor taste and then there is unacceptable.

    I amazes me that anyone thinks someone going to a party as Baby P is poor taste.

    I hope they get their nads cut off.

    NP.

    Although as I'm using abbreviations, which sick fscker though it was a good idea to go to the party as "Baby P"?

    Whatever the bleeding heart liberal may have said in an earlier post about it being a "private occasion" or some such, it speaks volumes for somebody's mentality that they think it's amusing to represent themselves as a missing child, or as a baby who died as the result of months of torment and agony.

    Private party or not, anybody who thinks that is somehow funny is a thoroughly sick individual. In fact, if it wasn't so obvious that they're thick as a docker's jam buttie, I'd describe them as sociopathic. I daresay the next time we hear of either of them will be when they gang-rape some girl on the grounds that she was "obviously up for a laugh"

    But going as her mother ? Why is that poor taste ?
    What makes you think he went as Kate McCann?

    He went as Madeleine McCann, with a teddy bear and a vial of fake blood.

    Hmm.

    Since when was poor taste illegal ?

    The fact that he is a politican is nothing to do with it.

    I blame X factor type programs for this mass stupidity, people think they should be able to vote on anything they like/dont like thats media related these days.


    Yes, because it was on national radio and far worse than a private 'bad taste' fancy dress party, and Ross should have resigned. On top of that, if somebody can run the economy properly I don't give a toss about what they get up to in private as long as it does not hurt anybody else. Remember also that this guy has resigned.

    Yes, just a laugh.

    It was a bad taste party. What did you expect? Everyone to turn up as Mahatma Ghandi?

    started a topic Words fail me...

    Words fail me...

    The future governemnt?

    On New Year's Day, after the party, Mr Lewis sent a message to another Conservative Future member which said: "There was a brief moment when I thought I might have gone too far with elements of the costume but it was OK - someone else was Baby P."
    It's just a laugh isn't it.
