First laugh of my day - thanks Dave:-)

What is the world coming to when some can laugh at such things.

Not at all funny for the families of those who do suffer from dementia.

[sunny-dave]

Also from The Express - I think they may have a bit of an agenda ...

Got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, AOG?

[sunny-dave]

Oh for god's sake AoG - even the least thought will tell you that I'm not laughing at people with dementia - you must know by now what my previous career was and the efforts I put into helping people deal with dementia through my answers on AB

I'm merely pointing out the slightly suspect (to say the least) juxtaposition used by the Express - and mocking them.

[ladybirder]

How anyone can interpret that as laughing at people with dementia beats me. Not what I was doing at all, or ever would. This thread has now turned sour!

[mikey4444]

It made me laugh as well.

Jordy - it was a "photo opportunity" organised by the Faragists - he reaps what he sows.

[mikey4444]

As nothing seems to phaze Farage, no matter how horrible it is, I expect he views this front page as an asset.

[Gromit]

Accidental but funny.

[mikey4444]

I am prepared to believe most things but not that the Editor of the Express wasn't aware of what form his front page was going to take before being sold.....accident my a*se, as Jim Royal would have said !

[Gromit]

Subtle message there from Farage, drinking India Pale Ale.

[Gromit]

AOG
Dementia is not funny, and no one is laughing about it.
The amusing aspect is that the Express have naughtily or accidentaly appended a photo of Farage next to that headline.

No accident. Clever. :o)

[whirlyhurly]

Not my idea of humour.

[Zacs-Master]

I take it non of you have seen this then....

On the BBC political comedy 'The Thick Of It', Rebecca Front's character (a Labour cabinet member called Nicola Murray) was married to a corrupt businessman.

In the show, it was implied that she was financially 'compromised' by and was corrupt herself. In this episode, she has to go and support a prospective candidate called Liam Bentley...and this was the outcome...
