You seem to have a logic deficit here, Jack.

If this had not been a Jewish reporter, then this remark, far from being
anti-Semitic, would have been seen as sympathetic to Jews i.e. using
'concentration camp guard' as an insult.

The guy responded "But I'm a Jew".

To suggest that you can't insult a Jew because you (rightly/ wrongly)
think he's using the 'only obeying orders' excuse, is, in itself, racist
and to object to that is a manifestation of political correctness. It
may be in bad taste, or even hurtful, but Jews are just as capable as
the rest of mankind of doing unpleasant things.

It's ironic that those who are shouting the loudest are those who bleat
on endlessly about the PC scourge.

Of course it was an idiotic response when all he had to say to the
initial question was "the evening went very well thank you".

But then, that's the Ken we know and love? :-)

What about the £4000 in public money for a party to celebrate Chris
Smith having AIDS?

That's what we should be talking about.

But as long as the public can be lured by the media into thinking
about PC the scumbags can get on with the real business.

Chis Smith has admitted to being HIV positive. That's not the same as
AIDS. Clearly what ever money was spent was not enough to sufficiently
highlight the issue so that you might at least come to know the
difference between the 2 conditions.

you're right on the mark there.

yes, it must be hard to get things done when no one want to know.
