Well if someone has hijacked your account to post  against a "love that Frankie Boyle" post then contact an admin urgently. For now we'll believe you did but now seek to disguise it - Quote:

Typical!
Do you really think that Boyle thinks nastily of the disabled?
He sees them as exploitable money making opportunities by use of gutter humour to appeal to neanderthal thinking. He probably hopes every day to read of more disabled children being born to the famous.
Just.. Your post is complete crap. So it was crap to point out someone posting as skwirked posted to "Love that Frankie Boyle" was it. More like you've been found out.

Are you psychic? You know my own intentions better than me do you?
There is more to the post than "love frankie boyle", do you need it reposted in big font?
You've been found out as an irritating pedant - oh wait we already knew that!
And I am sure you have posted jokes mocking the disabled before you ****ing hypocrite.

It seems Americanisation has succeeded in Britain when cynical, ironic and sarcastic black humour is taken seriously.
But the issue is that article is ridden with lies and published as supposed serious comment in what was thought of as a serious newspaper about a topic of very high public concern Can you really say that no one would have taken those supposed facts he included at face value?
If they actually did 'suppose' these were facts, were a pedant, they would ...... but who would believe the RAF will be dropping high explosives on the desert from a great height? He made his point sarcastically. Who has ever believed we 'were drowning children on the beaches', but his point is made ......... children will die as a result of this decision. You supposed he was stating 'facts' when in reality he was guiding you to realise what the 'facts' are without stating any himself.
Well lets see. Below is the complete article, sure looks like someone trying to post serious comment and as stated using false statements. No one yet has shown that they weren't false, just tried to say everyone without exception should have realised they were jokes.
- Frankie Boyle writing as Syria Opinion
-
So we decided to stop children drowning on the beaches by killing them in their beds. It’s hard to think of a more poetic metaphor for our utter lack of ideas than spending several years dropping high explosives on to a desert. Dropping something from a great height can never be precise – this is why Santa still parks up the sleigh. I have to admit that I was sort of disturbed by the palpable excitement in parliament, and couldn’t escape the feeling that our politicians like wars because they make them feel important.
The motion they voted on was a vague list of “necessary measures” and “requests for assistance”, with “specifically airstrikes” at the very bottom – as if someone had shouted it out of the front door as they were starting the car: “Oooh! Don’t forget eggs, milk – and airstrikes!!” One MP argued that IS need a lot of space to move and that airstrikes would limit their territory. The Paris shooters lived in one room with a mattress; we could bomb Syria to the average size of a London flat and they’d still find room to manoeuvre. Bombing Syria will achieve nothing. Let’s at least take a swing at China and have these dull winter skies replaced with a curtain of incendiary light.
What is Cameron’s problem with IS? Ordinary people who in their spare time have formed a huge multinational oil trade and a workforce of thousands willing to be paid in rice and fear – that’s the Big Society right there. Cameron called them “Women-raping, Muslim-murdering, medieval monsters” – he carefully avoided saying “child molesters” in case one of the backbench shouted: “Present!” This is before we get to the fact that he used the word “medieval” to justify a military expedition into the Middle East. Of course bombing will cause delight in Islamic State, where it will form the only entertainment. There’s no music, no dancing, and we’re spending a couple of million quid a night providing the mise en scène for these sadists’ fantasy life.
Hilary Benn, the product of his father’s tempestuous affair with Lembit Opik, showed a fighting spirit that was direct proof of Johnny Cash’s A Boy Named Sue. I think it’s worth remembering that if you say something and Tories start cheering, then you have said something awful. Yes, Hilary, we bombed Hitler, but we were being attacked here by German planes that were leaving from Germany – not by a teenager in west London who had been assembling a Doodlebug in the garage. Benn’s whole speech was played in celebratory fashion the next night on Radio 4, feeding into my theory that George Orwell was so prescient about our society that he moved to Jura to deliberately encourage his TB.
We learned little from the debate, except for the fact that the word caliphate sounds hilarious in a Northern Irish accent, and so do a bunch of other words. Perhaps we’ll soon be so used to the Middle East being in permanent conflict that retaking a Syrian Village from IS will become one of the tasks on The Apprentice. Perhaps destruction is simply easier than kindness. We find it easier to tell a stranger on WhatsApp we want to have sex with their face than hold hands with someone we might be falling in love with. It’s ridiculous really. Charles Manson or Anders Breivik murder people to try to start a race war and it’s laughably insane, but when IS do it we decide to give them one.
Islamic State practise a brand of Islamic law so strict that apparently Raqqa only has two Irish Pubs. For some reason the BBC website keeps reporting opposing moderate rebel groups, but never names them. I know the names of all the cat-hybrid-vegetable-marine-biologist Octonauts, but the differences between the groups fighting Assad are deemed too complex for me. Moderate seems to be a very fluid term when it comes to offshoots of al-Qaida and whatnot, and moderate groups vary from outfits such as Nuclear Allahcaust, who despise the west, and more reasonable elements such as the Al-Jihadi Infidel Soul Harvest, who despise the east, because if you travel east for long enough, you reach the west.
I wonder if the Commons really understands or cares that they are making Britain a target. How affected will MPs be by terrorism? In their high-security lives, the only fear they have of an attack on a bus is that the waiters will be late for a drinks reception. I think we live in a country that sometimes forgets how effective the rule of law is, perhaps because our governments have often found it inconvenient. We invest a vast amount of money in intelligence and terrorists have to, by their nature, take risks: cross borders, move weapons. I think the most effective place for those guys to end up is not in a martyr video, but in a small but comfortable jail cell. Somewhere in Kent, perhaps. No paradise, no virgins, no meaning leant by us to their stupidity, no glory, no attention. Just a guard wishing them a bland good morning, and a regular change of towels. And if you think that’s insufficient punishment, give them a television that only gets terrestrial, and all our newspapers everyday.

If you only wish your to be seen relating to part of a post then you should exclude the other parts when you quote, as you have previously shown you can do.

And? It's not always easy to do with selecting links and text, stuff gets mangled up so easier to quote the whole post.

The following is my idea of good comedy, clever, subtle and with harmless innuendos.

You sure can judge a person by who they praise, it works both ways.  Except I don't give a fuck what you think. Anyway. What's his 'worst' in your book then? ..I wonder if you took it 'to heart' like you took this the wrong way?
Probably the abusing in public of the mother of a disabled kid. There's also the abuse of Harvey Price etc etc all of which will have to live with what your mate did to them just to earn more money. You'll find the jibe was aimed squarely at the money grubbing publicity hungry mother of the child concerned, a woman who has few scruples herself and is in effect a walking soap opera.
If you court publicity by exposing your family to public glare then expect some less than flattering comments in return.

That programme has been criticised many times for poor taste jokes, and especially smut, had you not realised this?
It's still very funny though!

I wasn't criticising it only pointing out it is at times close to the knuckle, some of us can also handle our humour without it being signposted for us.
