Is waving a banner depicting an assortment of gruesome-looking sex aids really a way to behave in public? Let’s pretend there hadn’t been a massacre of British citizens the previous day. Like just about everybody else these days, he thinks he’s starring in his own movie. I doubt it occurred to him for an instant. Did the wag responsible for the flag stop to consider that it might cause genuine offence to the British relatives of those murdered by Isis? This was less than 24 hours after a crazed Islamist terrorist had murdered three dozen holiday- makers as they lay on their sunbeds.
It wasn’t big, it wasn’t funny and it wasn’t clever. Is waving a banner depicting an assortment of gruesome-looking sex aids really a way to behave in public?Įven if he did want to highlight the rough treatment of gays by Muslim states, was it really ‘appropriate’ to wave what looked like an Isis flag in the middle of London, just for a laugh?
