Ken Livingstone won't be apologising for insulting a journalist who was pissing him off, and just happened to be Jewish. Damn right! Don't pander to the "oh we're so insulted" brigade - they can sod off and find something else to do, preferably out of earshot.

Even better that he severely laid into the "newspaper" group that owns the London Evening Standard (also coincidentally the Daily Mail) about their extreme right-wing tendencies, saying that they were extremely unqualified to bleat about anti-semitism.

I'm pleased he didn't. Notice how there's very little mention of the reporter's anti-social behavious that provoked him?

I think the celebrities of the world should get together and form a coalition. They can stalk reporters and newspaper owners, taking personal pictures of them in their homes and on holiday. Then they can block them in their doorways in the mornings, acting like arseholes and throwing a barrage of questions at them.

Considering the grief Labour are currently getting about the (debateably) anti-semitic posters they're putting up, you'd think they'd have some sympathy instead of trying to hang him out to dry. Again.

If only that would happen...and yes, Labour realy are annoyingly scared about offending anyone. Which I find offensive. Maybe us people that are extremely offended by the current pandering of politicians to offended people should form a group too?

Good plan. We should demand a public apology from the Queen. It would be offensive to all non-offended people if we didn't...

I'm offended by this notion.

I'm offended that you're offended. Apologise now!
