Mayor makes public apology for comparing illegal immigrants to sperm on Facebook.

Booting way earlier then normal for me but felt compelled to share this bit of bullshit.  I can’t believe anyone would want to make some sort of big deal out of this, and it just shows you all how far down this path humans (at least here in the UK) have fallen.  How much more pol. correct and how many more apologies must be made before someone with some sense say, that’s enough, damn it.  Sorry folks, but this sort of thing just gets the old dander up. RCOB.
Yeah I know, compared to lots of other things going on, so on and so forth.  Still, doesn’t mean this isn’t maddening. Stupid too.

Maybe if I had taken the time to grab that morning coffee first. Nahhh. I’d still be PO’d.

A mayor has made a public apology after posting a joke online comparing illegal immigrants to sperm.

Sue Mills, mayor of Great Torrington market town in Devon, made the posting on her Facebook page.

The 50 year-old wrote: “Illegal immigrants are like sperm - millions of them come in but only one works.”

The mayor said her comments were made in a private capacity and could only be seen by the 380 “friends” on the site.

She said: “I accept the comments on my page were out of character and never intended to cause offence.

“It was intended as a bit of fun and not designed to upset anyone. I wish to publicly apologise for this mistake and deeply regret any upset I mayhave caused.”

Michael Tyghe, the town clerk, said: “We are having a meeting to discuss the situation. There may be a comment from the council then. I have known Sue for sometime now and one thing she is not is racist. This is just a regrettable mistake in my opinion.”

Cllr Mills has been on Great Torrington Town Council for seven years and became the deputy mayor in 2007 before becoming mayor in May 2009.

SOURCE FOR THE STUPIDITY

I thought that was damn funny btw.  It was nothing to say sorry over. And it was not a mistake damn it. It was a funny line and true or not people can’t run around apologizing for every word said on the chance that one line or one word will offend.  If anyone takes offense at her line, then they have too much time on their hands to become offended and aren’t working. More likely receiving benefits in the form of council houses and weekly out of work cash benefits etc.
And for the town clerk to announce a “meeting to discuss the situation,” also shows how stupid ppl have become and how much they have bowed to PC.
Notice how easily the association to race is made here as well. That’s interesting.  She referred to ‘illegal immigrants’ not anyone in particular of any one racial group.  Illegals also come from countries with large white populations. So where exactly does a defense of racial attitudes come into this?
Even if she had referred directly to illegals coming from Jamaica or Africa, or some muslim countries where her comment would more then likely be right on the money, she still would have required NO defense based on race.  Jeesh. A simple funny joke and a town council has to have a freekin meeting. JERKS!

For her part, she makes things worse by saying sorry. That implies she did or said something wrong.
The world is a mad fuckin place and doesn’t show signs of getting better.  Not with this kind of thinking it doesn’t. 
I need my coffee.

Oh ,,, I haven’t taken the milk and eggs in from the front porch yet.
See? told ya I booted early.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
